Hello again, for those of you who remember me, I was the guy that had a mouse living in his xbox not to long ago.
Well, after that little Episode, I resolved everything nicely
And it's still working to this day rather well.
I'm at it again though, in episode 2, this time a friend of mine wanted a modded XBOX, I told him I could do it, and he sent it over to me, little did I know he had a 1.6 version ... man did I bite off more than I could chew.
I managed to soider the LPC rebuild, and I managed to connect all the HDD/D0/LAN wires to their proper locations, infact the chip itself fires up well - nothing's wrong with that, even the cromwell thing loads.
The issue i'm having is when I connect the HDD, and the DVD ROM, I have NEVER experienced anything like this before, and it has me baffled, as to why the DVD ROM won't open, in chip on mode, the cromwell bios detects the 10.43GB HDD, and nothing else. ReadAbleDevice not found.
When I switch OFF the Modchip, XBOX dashboard, crashes after attempting to load on a solid green light, for 30 seconds - I finally get some Tagotin language or something, saying "Service Required" along those lines.
I haven't yet flashed any bios on either of the 2 banks of this chip, because I can't seem to get the damn DVD ROM alive so I can put a disk in it.
I'm at an incline at the moment, if ANYONE has any advice as to what the heck is going on here (Yes I tried multiple reconnections of the molex/IDE cables to the HDD's and the DVD ROM) - Please inform me.
Is it possible my solder job went wrong? and it's conflicting with the DVD ROM and nothing else? or is it something more serious?
I'm open to all suggestions, I need to get this fixed. Thanks in advanced.
P.S: Don't reply with "Check your d0 soldering." I see that as the immediate response to ANYONE"s mod issues. I don't want to see it myself, I know for a fact the d0's fine. I had to use a needle-pointed solder tip just to get the damn thing perfect.
