ANSWERED 16MB Jasper

[Noob.Si.BOT]

I was wondering if its the right thing to add a capacitor to my coolRunner as my 16MB jasper boots differently every time. I remember adding the 68 capacitor before where it booted instantly but freezed at the logo, now im thinking of adding 150nf cap. Is it safe to add a cap to my cool runner or can it blow the cpu point out? My wiring is neat and everything and its covered with electrical tape. At time it boots less then 10sec and other it boots late with sometimes nothing on screen or freezes at xbox 360 logo. Thanks for any helpers.

Provided you solder it correctly, there's no issue in soldering a 68nF cap between GND and A.

So adding the 150nf cap wouldnt make a difference then?

 

[Martin C]

150nF is too high a rating IMHO. Aim for 68nF or less.

I looked around and read members had over 100nf caps on their 16MB jaspers which booted good. Does playing with Caps mess up the cpu bypass point or anything?

If you have a Rev.B Coolrunner, the 68nF cap is on the board itself.

If you have 2 150nF caps, solder them in series as this will halve the value.

Thanks martin 2 150nf in series and solder them. Will do, also Martin one last question...can playing with caps mess up your rgh console? if so is their alternate points?

messing with any part of the install if you don't know what you're doing will increase the chance of you having a problem.
