I just installed an X2.3 Lite in a v1.6 using Smartxx and OZxodus reconstruction diagram for the LPC. Works just fine using Evox M8 bios, here' the problem tho. The 3.3 vcc on those diagrams are both constant power meaning the chip is powered on when you plug the console in and is on all the time wether you turn on the xbox or not. You cannot disable the X2.3's like this to boot retail bios.
Is there a power source on the v1.6 motherboard that powers on when the Xbox is turned on?

[haris786]

perhaps if you put a switch on the vcc or the D0 to get to the orignal bios
by the way are you using pinheader to install to wire

[Serious Sam]

Yes i'm using a pin header
a switch would be the hard way to fix this problem tho, the x2.3 lite already has a disable switch but it wont disable if there is constant power on the chip. There has to be a power source on the v1.6 that turns on when you power on the Xbox

[Serious Sam]

I removed the same pin as you do with any pin header installation which was pin #4

have u flashed the x2.3 with the m8_16.bin bios?

[Serious Sam]

I used the top D0 point shown on the ozxodus website diagram

[Serious Sam]

i flashed the X2.3 Lite with the X2 Lite programmer. Cromwell flashbios will not work in a 1.6

Now i wish Team Xecuter would tell us where there is a vcc that is not constant on the 1.6 motherboard. People are going to have problems with the X2.3's because of this. the 4th gen mods like Xenium and Smartxx will work just fine with constant volts but the X2.3's wont due to fact that you cannot disable the mod.

i initially tried the ozxodus one

[Diablov90]

I soldered everything on using the OzXodus diagram, and i flashed my chip with another xbox, but it just frags when i turn it on, with the switch set to enable and the bank the bios is on.  But when i unpower my xbox and switch the chip to disable, it boots to ms dash.  Also i used the top D0 and rebuilt the LPC from the bottom.  Could this be just bad wiring or what? Cuz everything looks fine.

[Diablov90]

My friend gave it to me, but he got it a Radioshack, and its the smallest wire he could find, its the size of the D0 wire.

[Diablov90]

Im gonna try redoing everything, also, im doing a wires install, and is it the same as on the 1.5, cuz i heard someone talking about how u didnt need the black wire.

EDIT: Another thing, on OzXoduse's diagram, it says the wires need to be short as possible, and mine arent, would this present a problem, i dont think it should, cuz i get power to the LPC.  Just asking.

i redo mine too, with bigger wire, gonna post result in a few

You need to flash the chip before u put it in, cuz Cromwell doesnt support 1.6.

Hey guys

here's what ive done step by step - not yet working but maybe we can help each other and this will further clarify things:

Ver 1.6
Rebuilt the lpc on the back side as per ozxodus instructions

installed 2.3 lite as per sites instructions (used do on front side of board as per ozxodus site)

Note*** Had not flashed the chip

Put together box
