Topic: How Do I Install This Chip In My V1.5 Xbox? (Read 450 times)

After hours of reading and a couple days....I still have the same unanswered questions.
I need to know how to install this chip in my v1.5 box. The X-B.I.T. site is no help to v1.4/v1.5 people.

I have a v1.5
Samsung DVD
*X-B.I.T. is on it's way*

The only info I could find posted on this X-B.I.T. forum to do with the v1.5 is:

uhm.. any 1.3 capable mod works with 1.4 and 1.5 xboxes.
on 1.4, you just need a 5101 based bios (evox m7), on 1.5 you need a 5101 based bios and to solder 3.3V and GND to the proper pins on the lpc port. that's all.

The X-B.I.T. site http://www.dms3.com/xspecs.htm states:

Compatible with V1.0, V1.1, V1.2, V1.3, V1.4 and V1.5** (**soldering required)

Some soldering required!!! Gee thanks...OK...what and where!

I totally understand that this is a new chip and some things are still a work in progress ...the X-B.I.T. tutorials http://www.dms3.com/xmanuals.htm are great for all but the v1.4/1.5's. (those 2 are non-existent)

So my questions are:

1. Which are the 3.3V and GND?
2. What location do I solder these 2 wires to?
3. Can I use the pogo's if the other 2 wires are soldered?

Any help is appreciated...but, a reply with a nicely circled picture of the location/locations would be most helpful.

I love answering my own questions, here is the 3.3v, and the obvious GND on a v1.5:

good job finding those diagrams. did you get it to work? i have a 1.0 so i didn't need to know the differences, but i was curious. i know on x-s it mentions there's no ground to pin 9 of the lpc, but i didn't know what to do about it or how to correct. like i said, i have a 1.0 so i was merely curious....

No, I'm still waiting for the chip to arrive.

My xbox was made 8-28-2003. It's not a refurb. It must be 1.4 or 1.5, probably 1.5. I installed my xbit with pogo pins and no soldering. It works fine.

What are the two wires for?

Sorry, turns out I have v1.1...

Read up before you ask...

If you don't have a v1.5 mobo then why do you care?

chelrob · « **Reply #7 on:** October 22, 2003, 06:18:00 PM »

The guy that started this thread does have a v1.5 mobo.

Hard to argue with that logic.
I give up..ya got me there.

I made a XBOX v1.5 diagram with GND and 3.3V fix for the LPC bus rather than any specific modchip. A three year old kid could probably make a nicer diagram, but hopefully you will get the "point". The LPC area photo was shot by andy@warmcat and is from an old v1.0 xbox, but it looks clear and fix points are same, couldn't find any good v1.5.

Thanks modrobert...this will help

Ok, I have read up and couldn't find an answer. Suppose I have a ver 1.4 or 1.5. Can I install the XBIT pogo style? Or is it going to be soldering? I recall someone posting that there were very little instructions about this. Does anyone have any straight forward advice?

chelrob · « **Reply #11 on:** October 25, 2003, 08:45:00 AM »

Yes you can, but if it's V1.5 you still have to solder two wires.

Cool, thanks for the info.

mine was made 8-28-2002 so i guess mine is either a v1.0 or a v1.1

ya, cause that means a lot to the thread on 1.5 xbox's. Please dont spam the forums.

Also guys, I just helped a friend install an x2.2 in a 1.5 the other day, and the chip needed 5v as well (used for flashing). I am assuming that the XBIT gets enough power from USB, but if you run into problems, I would check into this first.

Good luck

Now that's the kind of post I was looking for....ty.

I have a 2.2 Pro on the way for another v1.5.

Q: Did you install a 2.2lite/+ or Pro?

A pic/pics would be awesome if you could..of the modified solders that had to be made. Curious where you drew the 5v from.
