my cousins' box had an 11 wire cheap mod (not sure if it was actually 11, only 7 of the LPC points had wires on them, and only 10 with solder) and it started to frag. i popped out the chip and its still fragging. could an x3 with already loaded bios do any good, or is he better off just getting a new mobo?

I would desolder everything and check for splashes on the MOBO before trying to get it to boot to M$ as a standard Xbox before trying to install an X3, this way you know that the Xbox is working perfectly before you start and you don't run the risk of damaging the X3.

Hope this helps.

:D :D :D

If you made changes to the harddrive and then the chip fails, you might not get it to work without another mod.

So my best guess is you have nothing to lose.

Get a new chip - flash it - install it. If it does not work you have not lost anything because you can still fit the chip in the new xbox you are almost certain to buy :)

Re: FOR SALE: Falcon 360 Jtag with Xbr

I'll take it, but I'd like a bit more info first:
What's the manufacture date?
Banned or unbanned?
How long has it been since the 3RLOD?
Who reflowed it?
Is there any cosmetic damage?
If so, do you have pictures of the damage?
Do you have pictures of the JTAG and SPI installations?
Do you have any feedback on this or other forums?
Can you give me a short history of the console? Ownership, errors, that sort of thing.
