My old xbox get wire problem (from microsoft)

I can't follow this one. What do you mean exactly?

There are 3 different eeprom types for the xbox. There is the 1.0 version, the 1.1 to 1.5
and the 1.6 and 1.6b version.
The eeprom chips are identical, but the contents of the chip are differently encoded.

So, you could exchange the eeprom chips between the 2 xboxes if they use the same type of eeprom.

If you don't have soldering experience, don't try it. It's not easy to desolder such a small smd chip without special tools. The pcb traces get damaged easily.

You could consider building an eeprom reader. You can reprogram the eeprom with it as well.

regards.

Hello, thanks for your answer,

In fact i retry a lot and was enable to put a dashboard on the xbox. I take the information from the hdd and try to make a new one little bit bigger.
But my motherboard seems to not allow to lock the new one, i get a common problem with the harddrive which cant be lock. So i need another computer to lock it :/ I gonna take a look at xboxhdm2.

About my old xbox, its a manufactur problem. The PCB have oxydation problem.
