I've done at least 10 mods now. Everything from a 1.1 to a 1.6b and never had a problem.
This time, I installed the 2.6CE in a 1.6 and it fragged green/red. I double and triple checked my soldering. Removed the LPC rebuild board and tried a new one. Removed the LPC rebuild board again and did the wire rebuild. It all look fine, but it still fragged.
Bought two more chips thinking it might be a bad chip.
Still fragged.
Replaced everything. Chip, switch, rebuild again, all wiring, everything.
Still fragged.
Bought another 1.6 (Mechassault edition) xbox and installed a brand new chip being super careful.
It also fragged.
I spent days trying to figure out what went wrong.
In the end, it turned out to be a faulty switch or something. If I press in on the chip enable switch while turning the 'box on, it works just fine.
One of the switch boards worked perfectly after cleaning it out with some contact cleaner, but I'm still working on the other two that came with the other chips I bought.
Yes, all three switches had similar problems. One of them I had to press down instead of in and the third doesn't work at all. If I replace the switch with the one that does work after cleaning, the 'box boots up just fine with the chip enable into Flashbios.
I didn't seem to have any trouble with any of teh other switches on any of the switch boards. Once working, they all seems to switch banks just fine and flash protect worked as well. Not sure why all three boards had weird chip enable switch problems.
Something stange with the switches. Not sure what or why just yet.
