I´ve been trying this for quite a long time. Here´s my story:
Got a xbox (christmas-bundle, v1.4, FOCUS with ground on PIN2). Got an executer (2.3 pro), tried to install it myself and destroyed it (the mod, xbox is fine).
Got a xbit, went to a friend and let it wire-install. FRAG. Tried different Bioses and checked the connections over and over again (the friend even with a microscope)...
So i started measuring (directly on the chip):
When i measure my LPC the PIN 3 (LFRAME) it should be disconnected (thats what the LPC-diag tut says when v1.3+), but i have ~3 V on it.
All other pins are ok.
Could the chip be damaged? I don´t think it is, since i can flash it and verify it and even the eject button stealth thing is working fine...
Anyone got an idea??
Please... otherwise i´ll have to try TSOP. And if you read what i did to the executer, you can be sure that i´ll go back to playing with matchbox cars...
p.s. btw: if the biosversions would be false, it still should boot with an original, shouldn´t it?
