Sp Ice On V1.0
« on: August 30, 2005, 06:51:00 PM »
I was trying to install my mod chip on my v1.0 xbox and it looks like my sp adaptor has too many pins (compared to the one in the stickyat the very top of the page). there is only one pin missing from mine. Ii put on my chip and turned it on and i'm getting the frag error, nothing i do is fixing this. please help. also there is a red light on the mod chip when i turn it on. i flipped the recovery switch too, and when i did that it would boot up to the normal xbox screen. the red light on the chip stayed on during this as well

Your adapter is not alligned.  You probably have the sp adapter and not the spice adapter, but either will work.  Anyway, the only advice would be to keep trying to allign it, or better yet solder it or pay someone to solder it for you.

there are more pins on the adapter than the chip. which ones do i use? the ones towards the front? can the extra pins on the adapter cause this?

99 times out of 100 its allignment.  Use the pins furthest down away from the screw.

there is a pin on the adapter, but no hole with solder on the motherboard. should I remove this pin? it is in the row on the right and the second farthest from the screw. i might try to post some pics. it even seems that one of the holes isnt completely filled with solder.

Green/orange means the av cable isn't plugged in.  If you still can't allign it at this point, I suggest soldering it or paying someone to solder it for you.

I understand you dont like the solderless chips, but the reason i bought it is because I dont want to solder it and i cant find someone to do it for me. can you please answer me about the pins on the adapter?

I read that this means it isnt connected to the d0. i have the wire in the hole and it isnt moving. maybe it is broken? how can i make sure

The only way to be sure would be to take a multimeter and check for continuity between the d0 pad on the chip and the alt d0.  The problem is either the d0 or pin 2 on the lpc at this point.  It is also possible that once you get the d0 in there properly that the chip still isn't alligned, so if you get a frag then your d0 is fine but the lpc isn't.
