| sorry, but I was wondering what the points in these pictures are for. I am looking for some alternate points for some TSOP flash fixing. |
this pic show all the alternate points followes by colors... for example. the two points that you usually use on top of mobo 1.0-1.1, one is mark in red and the other one in blue... just sellect one point in the red line and other one in the blue one and make a bridge.
the same apply for yellow and skyblue
i really dont know what happen if you have the time to connect every point to every point, but this is just in case that you need another point in the mobo cause the one that you use are damage... just be carefully... chose just one point for color and 1 wire to conect red and blue and 1 for yellow and skyblue
Is there a need to bridge a third point? On the underside of the board..I'm working on a 1.4 with a winbound 232928401 . I keep getting 0x09 even though I've got everything bridged...gonna try this..thanks.
used the pic...made a bridge...worked like a charm...
I hope a mod pins this

Just want to thankyou for taking the time to put this together. I have a friends xbox and he's screwed up the top solder point, can't even see where the tracks went. Just used your tut and another on repairing tracks with heated windscreen repair paint. Thankyou so much and hope this gets pins cos it's worth it's weight in gold to me. Well, worth a working xbox anyway. : ))

thanks!!! i glad to help people!
This is really great, I have been looking for something like this. I just have a few questions. I assume to whole purpose of jumping the write points is to make two connections between the MCPX and TSOP right? The Dark Blue goes to the TSOP and Red to MCPX right? For the other set, the Yellow goes to the MCPX and the Light Blue goes to the TSOP? I have a really bad motherboard with a few lifted traces. What are the closest points to the TSOP and MCPX I can use? What pin does the Red connect on the TSOP? Is there a via on the bottom side of the board right at the MCPX that connects to the Dark Blue or Yellow? I really need to go from the actual pin on the TSOP to as close as I can get to the MCPX. Thanks.
Sorry for the double post.
Can anyone help me out?
When you wire up a jumper wire, does it have to remain connected permanently, or is it just used for flashing?

the wires are only to flash the tsop... once you flash the chip you can remove the wires
on the 1.0/1.1 xbox, isnt it true that the sky blue line can be connected to the other 2 pins toward the edge of the TSOP? I think i saw that they werent connected in a "Flash TSOP With matrix modchip tutorial. If im right, i think it would be easier to solder for those of us without expensive soldering irons. Can anyone verify this?
awesome, thanks for the pics.
I ruined the R7D2 points on a 1.5 box I was doing for a co worker, and connected the two open holes listed above with window defogger goop, and it worked like a champ.
thanks a ton for this.
edit: and yes, this post should be /stuck at the top.
Lol... N/M... the points in the tut i have are electrically the same (don't know why it insists on connecting a wire, but oh well...) heh.. i just missed the pic of the wire needed for the sharp tsop... lol...
Simply amazing thread, davicoro. Deserves pin.
all i have to say is that you are the answer to my prayers! i will finally mod that 1.5 softmod xbox that has burned off tsop points.
thanks a ton! and i really hope a mod pins this, people always ask where to find these points,and these are perfect easy to understand pictures
YES!
i was able to flash it!!
one weird thing that i feal like mentioning.. evox couldnt flash the bios so i had to use eurasia. the chip is the one that everyone posts about that they cant flash, i can post the name of it later if you want it
Thanks for this, I accidentally ripped of the red to yellow bridge below the TSOP and couldn't see the traces. I know, I'm retarded.
wow... some pm about this... lol
this look like a bump but is not... lol
This should be pinned for anyone who use nail-clippers to clean solders.
I wanted to clip off the solder on my original point and stripped the whole area...I was looking for an alt point and here is the answer. Someone helped me out with your post.
Thank you all.

evox won't seem to flash this chip either. its a hynix chip. what do you suggest?
Sorry for the ignorance, but what is the VCC point for the sharp tsop? I did a successful flash of a 1.4, this made it a freak'n piece of cake. Little puzzled on the 1.1 with sharp, there are just a few too many differing opinions as to which points actually need bridging. If I could just get that first clarification, on where the vcc is and what I'm supposed to do with it, I could knock this one out no problem.
everything you ever wanted to know about flashing a sharp
Thanks for the post, I had been getting a few msg's here or there about people asking how to flash sharps. Glad I have somewhere to point them now.
As always, you come through vader
Just did my fourth box. This is invaluable!
This is so great!!!
I messed up the points posted on the original tut and also lifted 1 bottom trace. let see if i use alt points in this guide will it work?
thanks

Do i have to solder the points on the top and bottom in the diagrams? or just one side?
Thanks,
Nightmare
it doesn't matter what side of the board, just as long as you bridge red to blue and sky blue to yellow. just make sure to only bridge them once.
btw this is the best thread ever and most def deserves a pin
QUOTE(Leafz @ Feb 18 2005, 08:17 PM)
Does your xbox boot normal? If it does try the Alt points and retry to flash.
I know I'm reviving an old post, but damn... I thought I'll come back and thank davicoro for helping me find this alternative points.
I fixed, retraced and soldered my friends Matix modchip on his old 1.0 MoBo... but the d0 was so damn small I was having a hard time trying to solder it, even with the flux.
It worked like a charm on the alternate points.
My kudos to you davicoro!
you can join any point highlighted in yelllow to any point highlighted in sky blue to write enable the TSOP
This tutorial will be great for people who mess up TSOP solder jobs. I saved it all incase any of my friends start doing TSOP jobs. They are too eager and I can see them messing up at least once. Anyway nice work
Do you have to do Top and bottom of Mobo? Or can you just do top...Sorry if its allready been mention I justed skimmed thru...

if you had bothered to read the stickies yoursefl youd know this is linked in the tutorials collection, its also posted some 14,000 other places on the site in my sig, lol
Thanks for this. This helped a lot.
i have a v1.0 and lifted the pad on the bottom point, the top point is fine. Does anyone know what lines (yellow/skyblue or red/blue) to replace my bottom points?
nvm i got it thanks for the alt's
sorry for the thread revival.
Since i'm a retarded when it comes to electronics and soldering: can I just bridge the two point pairs (V1.2/1.3) with a wire and sticking some electrical tape along so that it stays, or do I REALLY have to solder?
Solder please. Or you can always purchase a conductive ink pen at radio shack $10 USD.
you mean http://www.hmcelectronics.com/cgi-bin/scri...oduct/1530-0102, right? isn't there sort of a danger for other points NOT to solder?
also, i have to ask:
1- can the liquid coming out of that pen be easily removed?
2- will that liquid affect the underlying pathways?
3- can I link the points to do a first TSOP flash or does it HAVE to be a recovery?
just so I know. I don't want to brick my "best" console ( i have two, and i want to mod the one that works better ^^; )

Why hasn't this been pinned? This topic saved my dumb butt. I suck at soldering so I ruined the points on the top side of the mobo and I searched and searched and FINALLY found something to save my butt. Thanks so much guys.
nice work, tagage
Your v1.2+ picture shows two parts on the motherboard. one on the top and one on the bottom. are these 2 diferent methods or do you have to solder on both sides of board?

they are 2 different methods, you just have to join any one red point to any one blue point, and any one yellow point to any one light blue point
depending on which points and how many are wrecked you may or may not need top+bottom
My turn to resurrect.
I have done a couple of modchip installs, but i wanted to try a TSOP to see what it was all about. I am decent with a solder pencil, but i just couldn't get the second pair of points (closest to the LPC on my 1.4) connected. Thanks to the alternate points given, it was a snap. Successful flash. Thanks to the OP!!!
PTF
is there any special thing that I have to do in order to successfully solder the alternative point ? I tried to just solder point A to point B and it is not working
if you are just trying to solder the gap without using a wire to connect them, I never had much luck with that. I just got a small piece of wire, (i used a single strand of cable from a bad HDD cable I had laying around, and made that a couple inches long and just soldered that wire to the two points. it made it alot easier for me.
