Title: Fried Matrix
Post by: afon on July 06, 2003, 09:23:00 PM

I have 2 matrixs. One matrix raped my 2 xboxs. I might have put my *new* chip in a nuked xbox once, is my matrix dead? And how the hell can i tell? When booting the nuked xboxs i get reset 3 times and christmas early.

well...you can start troubleshooting by taking your Matrix chip out of your xbox...if your xbox will boot then you know that your xbox is not what is causing problems...do this and then let me know wut are the results

.. AND SO IT BEGINS!

well...matrixes are old chips...I have not really been reading up on them as lots of new chips have been released since them

Yes, no soldering was done...did i kill in a trace in 2 xboxs? Anyway, still..the question remains 'did i fry my matrix, and if so how can i tell without killing another poor xbox'?

I dont think you fried your matrix as your xboxes dont even work...i would suggest...since your matrixes supposedly fried 2 xboxes...that u buy new chips hehe...and maybe try sending your xboxes to someone for repair

Read this tutorial about the C7D2 capacitor:

See if this is what happened to your 2 Xboxes.

wut works for me is just getting a little rubbing alcohol (be careful!) and rubbing it on the bad..works like a charm and it'll be nice and shiny clean

can you actually nuke an xbox like that? I mean..does the lpc hold that much power over the xbox booting process..i thought it was irrelevent

Irrelevent?!!!

1st if they were irrelevent why would they have been put there...


2nd If they were irrelevent why wouldn't MS have removed them in the v1.1,v1.2, and v1.3?!

The serve a VERY important purpose...They have something to do with the bios...
