Continuity test on LPC connections

[Relinq]

Hi All,

I'm having the time of my life trying to get my 1.6b and X3 running. I used the LPC Rebuild PCB first.

After the first install, the only problem was booting from the X3... not possible.

In the end I ripped everying out. The PCB is now toast.

What I need to know is if there is supposed to be connectivity between pins on the LPC port.

Between pins 12 & 14 I have a "low light" come on with my continuity tester, as opposed to a bright light with a normal short condition.

I also have a "low light" short between pins 1 and the open hole at 3.

I just need to know if I should rip out the pin headers and put a new one in. Perhaps some solder bridged on the other side of the board???

I checked all over the board. I don't see any problems.

I now have used the solder suction remover and some of the holes may not have a good contact with the pins.

Now I just get FRAGS with the partially desoldered pins and the D0, LAN and HD wires attached. I also have the old power switch in place ( I still have the original connected to the power board for the X3).

Can you boot to anything? (M$ dash, backup)

Hi XCronus,

In the current state, I can't boot to anything.

I have the pin header in (with partially removed solder)
I have the D0, LAN, and HD wires connected
I have the power running through the X3's power switch panel.

I just wanted to remove everything and make sure that the board is still working correctly. Then I wanted to resolder it from scratch.

Also, is the connection from pin 16 to 10 necessary for the 1.6b board. That is what the LPC Rebuild PCB is doing but I don't see that on the manual instructions at http://www.teamxecuter.com/x3/tutorials/x3pin16.htm.

I wanted to get another PCB but if it's not fast enough or too expensive, then I will manually connect all the wires.

6 wires hooked up to the pcb board

whats up gang, noob here, but im a tech. i have the 93450c, trying to flash it, through handling it, a couple of the wires came off, i know ill have to solder them back on for it to work on the xbox 360 but do those wires have to be hooked up to get the key and flash it? im using the the ck3 lite and probe 2. i cut the traces, with those wires off the lite wont eject the drive

Re: 6 wires hooked up to the pcb board

You have to cut the traces and then solder them again.

There is a tutorial in the jungleflasher .PDF file.

Re: 6 wires hooked up to the pcb board

thats not what im talking about, im talking about the 6 wires that are on the pcb board, 2 of them came off, do those 6 wires have to be connected for me to get the key?

post a picture of the wires in question.

those are the drive eject wires

they do NOT need to be connected to get the key
