Title: Duox2 Won't Install
Post by: Master Bman on June 23, 2005, 12:37:00 PM

Hi, first i wanted to say how much i appreciate the help already given on these forums.  but i cannot seem to find an answer to the problem i am having.  i have a white AMD duox2 chip and i installed it in my version 1.3 xbox whose M$ dash is corrupted.  i have the d0 point soldered to the d0 on the underside of the mother board and the bt point on the underside of the motherboard as well.  i have the bt point on the chip soldered to the ground on the chip.  i have it switched to the first memory bank.  when i plug the console in it turns itself on by itself and the front led is green and after about 2 seconds it shuts off again, showing no video.  it does this about 5 times before staying on and fraging but still no video or audio.  has anyone had this problem before?  i am positive hte d0 point is in correctly but maybe the bt point on the underside of the mother board isn't good?  any one who has experienced similiar problems or can help please, this is very frustrating to me.

ps i have tried to be as specific as possible but if any more details are needed i'd be happy to fill you in.

I don't know what all this Mess is but all you need to do is connect the D0 from the underside of the motherboard to the D0 pad on the Duox2 chip. The make a nother connection from the BT pad on the Duox2 chip to the BT connection behind the Eject/Power Assembly as seen in the Duox2 diagrams.

If you want the modchip Always On then connect D0 from the underside of the motherboard to ground (like a screwhole or shielding) and the D0 Pad on the chip should not have anything connected to it. Then take a small wire and connect the BT pad on the Duox2 to Pin g(Pin9) on the DuoX2 chip (This Pin is 2 dwon from where the D0 Pad is on the chip)

k, just now i connected the bt point to the one behind the eject button and took off that ground connection.  the d0 point isstill connected.  when i press the eject button it boots (or tries to rather) to the M$ dash like it should.  when i hit the power button it turns on and off 1-3 times with no video then frags with no video.  do you think an always on configuration could fix that?

in the always on setup (bt to g and d0 to ground, no other connections) the chip flashes red and the box boots as normal.  as if there was no chip.but its not fraggin or anything so thats good, right?

btw, is the lpc the pins in that rubber thing?

Are you sure you are grounding D0 and its making good connection?..If so then the chip must be installed correctly and  preflashed with something becuase if you ground D0 and the install was bad you would get fragging.

Also you are gounding D0 from the motheboard an not the one on the chip right?

theres two wires, one that goes from g on the chip to bt on the chip and one that goes from d0 on the chip to screw hole on the mobo.  they are all good connections.  are you saying the chip isnt flashed?  how do i do that then?

well the quote got fucked up in my last post...  but it's still obvious you cant follow directions...  so i will restate everything from this thread

QUOTE

DuoX2 chips need to have their BT pad connected to the G point on the LPC

QUOTE

Connect D0 from the motherboard to a screwhole (there shouldn't anything connected to D0 Pad on the Duox2)

QUOTE

This setup would provide an always on configuration.

you may notice that you've been told NOT to have d0 on the chip touched (as you have it now)

You need to listen to otherguy and follow each instruction if you want to get your install sorted.

You cannot have chip D0 to motherboard D0 and also to ground ! that is wrong !

You can have BT to G on chip and nuthen else !
and D0 on mobo to ground

or

You can have BT on chip to BT on mobo
and D0 on chip to D0 on mobo

You have to solder it to a leg of one of the chips so be carefull OK.

Flick the bank switch and try to boot with power !

resolder the female pinheader to the chip , just heat up each point and add a touch of solder !

Does the RED Led flash ?

Do you have it on the headerpin the right way ? the bank switch should be close to the left side of the xbox !

follow my DuoX2 Troubleshooter !

Here's a picture of a Duo I had setup for always on.  Nothing gets soldered to D0 on the Duo.

So if BT is connected to that pin (i think that's pin 9), then you don't need to connect the D0 or anything else to anything? That's all that's needed, and it will just always be enabled?

no from what i understand you then have to connect d0 on the mobo to ground, such as a screw hole.

Title: Duox2 Won't Install
Post by: HackDaBox on June 24, 2005, 11:17:00 PM

Master Bman is correct. You still have to ground mobo D0. Easiest way is to solder a wire from the backside d0 point and bring it up through a spare lpc hole #15 or #16 then solder it to the round metal circle that goes around the screw hole near the lpc area.

In this setup the eject button will also boot the hacked BIOS and xbox live is not an option. This is good for testing and troubleshooting but once everything is working you should remove the link from the chip and move the wire from the screw hole to the chips D0 point. Then solder a wire from the chips BT point to the alternate BT point.

does anyone live around upstate ny some kind of guru? i am so sure i ahve this set up correctly and it just doesnt work.  i ahve tried 2 chips with 2 boxes and they don't work, it makes no sense.  i know the chip is always on but when i boots it doesnt do what its supposed to do.  instead of doing anything at all it starts once for about a second, shuts off.  does it again two more tiems then stays on and frags.  the whole time the screen on the tv is balck with no audio.  sucks.
