On xbox scenes site this is my exact problem. 1 issue. I found PIN 5. There is a red wire running from pin 5 to another point on the motherboard. Can someone give me a more specific point where i can solder this. The picture really doesnt help out. Thanks

what caused this to happen were you flashing chip or did it just start doing it

 

[zombie4000]

just started doing it

What version Xbox do you have? It is possible the red wire is the alternate 5v if you have a 1.6. You need to provide us information so we can help. Xbox version, chip, bios, type of install, etc..

hey fantmx you were helping me before the site went down. Not sure if u remember. I did resolder the D0 wire and now it will boot 2 times & shut off then on the 3rd it will flash orange/red

A bad D0 point won't cause a frag. All that does is tell the Xbox to boot from the LPC bus and not the onboard bios. We still need to know all the information about this so we can help. Was this install ever working?

I believe i have a 1.1 or 1.2. I have a xecuter 2.6 . My install was working. I pulled the hd out and put it back & now it flashes. Sometimes i wonder if it is the connection from the chip to that front panel. Any way to check that?

 

[DJBOOBY]

check your hard drive is pluged in 100% as well as others on idle cable is the power to the hard drive pluged in

 

[zombie4000]

everything is plugged in 100%

 

[Fantmx]

There is a link in my sig that will show you how to test the switches.

 

[zombie4000]

The wires are fine. we think its a mobo

 

[zombie4000]

also... we plugged the chip into another xbox and it booted fine.

 

[Fantmx]

I'm not sure how you would wreck the Xbox by just removing the hard drive and replacing it. Did you drop a screw in there or something?

 

[zombie4000]

i have no idea. I give up on it. Im looking to buy a cheep one somewhere

Where's the fun in that?

 

[zombie4000]

true, it sucks. This is what we did. I took my box to my buddies house and he has the exact same chip as i do. We soldered the wire on the back of the mobo that xbox scene's tutorials said it would work. I posted it on the 1st post. That didnt work. We switched out the wire between the chip and the control panel on the front. That didnt work. We took the chip out and put it in his box and it booted fine. So i know the chip works. The only other thing we could think of was the motherboard.

anything else?
