I am trying to install a SmartXX Ver 2 or SmartXX Ver 3...
I have modded many Xbox's in the past. I am trying to mod a ver 1.0 built April 16, 2002. All it does is frag. I have done a pin header install. I have reflowed the pin header so many times I want to sceam. I have soldiered the D0 to the top, the bottom and a ground point by a screw. Nothing. I grabed another Xbox off the shelf dated November 20, 2001. Once again pin header install. I reflowed the soldier, D0 top bottom and ground point same thing. It just frags. So now I grab a 3rd Ver 1.0 XBox built June 6, 2002 with an Excuter chip in it. I pull out the Excuter chip and replace with a SmartXX Ver 2 and a SmartXX Ver 3.0. Both chips work fine! So now I take the Excuter chip along with its DIP switches and put it in one of the other Xbox's; soldier in the D0 line top and bottom and it too just frags.
I have also checked the voltages at the pin header per some other posts. All are good.
There has got to be something to this. The only thing I see is the date. I have done Xbox mods since the days when you had to soldier in 29 wires, I have been soldering since the days before PC 's were invented.
I need help before I go mad!
