even though it's lined up properly, it may still not go green.
you don't need to fill those holes, but it is easier to do if they are.

I am at a loss here:
I guess the problem is because the holes are not filles
the pogopins go in deep, retracting the g-spot pin from the g-spot.
So I decided (for testing purposes) NOT to tighten the screw, just to
have the matrix rest on the mobo, neatly alligned.
And hurrah, I got the green light in mode 2 and 3.
However, the xbox still boots the ms bios? Who's
fooling who ? (I use a colormod, so I can tell by the logo
color wether it boots the matrix bios. Also, remember
the same chip works in my box!)
Any thoughts ? I would like to make my sister happy
(the box is hers)
TIA

I have soldered all points to be sure of the connections, still but ms BIOS or beep + 3 reboot depending of the mode 2/3/4 !!!
D0 is correctly soldered and checked.
No Idea ?

Have had that quite a few times, however the damn thing keeps booting the ms bios
If I try that silver stuff:
1. can I damage anything (seems pretty safe to me)
2. can i still solder id it doesn't work ?
TIA

You can wash the silver paint away with rubbing alcohol and solder if you want to.

Still haven't got a clue how to get those holes filled with a FLAT surface

| With silver paint it's actually easier to fit a matrix on a 1.1 then on a 1.0. Since the pogopins goes down into the lpc bridge there's no way in h*ll it'll move from that location. I have done this procedure on 3 boxes. Never had to do any adjustment and it passes the shake test without getting unaligned |
So basicly you are saying that the problem ain't touching the d0 point, but making a good connection
on the lpc holes ??? I noticed the smaller part of the pogo pins go all the way into the holes.
Should I put the matrix in directly after the paint is put in, or wait for the paint to dry ?
Post by: SpankMan on May 04, 2003, 10:01:00 PM
I let the paint dry (takes 3-5 minutes).

Got it (Matrix+v1.1) working but I had to do by the HARD way. I tried everything (cleaning, more tin to holes) with the motherboard and chip. DID NOT WORK. So I did some soldering and IT WORKS. Nine wires between motherboard and Matrix-chip. My soldering is not so good (god damn shaking hands...hangover) and still I got it working.Be bold and just try what I did!!
Jippii!!!

congrats!
Did you solder to the d0 on top of the board or the bottom ?
(the d0 seems the hard part, the lpc holes are way bigger)
And how much solder skills did you have ?
Post by: kevin_titus on May 05, 2003, 11:15:00 AM
I have a v1.1 xbox and mine aligned within a minute or two. When testing you WILL NOT see a consistent green light in MODE 1. Put the chip in MODE 2.
My suggestion is to use a colored BIOS to check that you have total continuity.
I installed my chip and loaded up via the latest SLAYERS disk. Everythign works perfect.

Basically I cleaned the D0 and soldered some tin over it and after that soldered the wire to D0 on the top side. D0 is really tiny but I got guite good soldering work on it so that is not going to be the first loosened wire of those 9 wires I soldered between Matrix and DX's.
Not much soldering skills on me but maybe the fairy of LUCK was on my side this first time
