Title: Fragging Xenium Ice Chips
Post by: Joes2Silly on September 13, 2011, 11:57:00 PM
Just got my hands on two Xenium ice modchips, but they both seem to frag no matter what xbox I put them in. I tried booting them in recovery mode and regular mode on a 1.0, a 1.6, and a 1.4 without luck. Is there some way to reflash xenium OS to these chips? Another weird thing is both of these chips look different but it might just be two different batches. The first is a completely square cut PCB chip that is a white color with tan traces on the PCB and has the website "www.TeamXodus.com" printed on the back. The second is a more tan color PCB with darker tan traces that has some rounded edges and some sharp points where it looks like it wasn't cut right along with "www.ozXodus.com" printed on the back. Can anyone help me with fixing these chips or identifying them?

Hmmm, haven't really had time but I've pretty much written off these two chips. I don't really think there is anything I can do to fix them

I got a working xenium gold, would that work? Just boot up the working xenium and go to flash the OS and then hotswap the chip?

FRAGing is far more indicative of the soldering job and not so much of the chip itself.

I've tested it in multiple xboxs that all boot fine with all my other modchips so I think thats not the problem. Anyway, I found the D0 harness and even the LED bar on this website but Im dubious about sending a check overseas. Has anyone had experience with this website before?

Sounds great except that those posts were from 2004  blink.gif I emailed them so I'll see if they are still even in business... If not, the search continues!

Okay, I'm pretty sure I can just solder some wires to the back of the connector but I ran into a problem. One goes to the D0, and the other goes to and E point. Does anyone know where to solder this E wire?
