hello,

although i'm not an expert, i might have few suggestions.

1. disconnect the modchip. boot normally w/o the chip. does it frag?
(if it frags, then it is your d0 point that needs to be checked)

2. if boots normally w/o modchip connected, d0 point is okay and its time to start checking the lpc for possible cold joints, lifted traces etc..

i know it must be very frustrating. i hope this helps.

since it's not fragging w/o the chip, all points to the lpc. when you connect the chip does two blue leds light up when starting w/mod enabled?

Well, I wouldn't say no one. I installed an X3 in a 1.0 and it works like a charm. I also installed an X3 in a 1.6 and that was even easier than the 1.0 (thanks to the LPC rebuild pc board and no solder in the holes for the lpc port).

Just thought I would post my experience here as well, a couple of people have had issues with 1.0 and 1.6 XBoxes and in each case someone thinks that those are problematic. They aren't in all cases though.

Just my two cents.

Thanks for sharing. Did you got any Menu navigation problem on the Flash Bios screen when booted the XBOX from the mod-chip?

The power surply fuse going does a similar thing and normaly involves smoke. Trust me I know it has happend a few times to me. Check that if not check that you havnt created a short circuit whilst soldering :shock: cos that can be bad. :D hope this helps. even though I wouldnt think it is the power check that short circuit thing and check that you havnt cocked up soldering! :D

Re: First Time Ripping Games

to power a 0800 drive i just use onboard sata as the pc will detect it once flashed with 0800 firmware but to power it i use a ck3 pro which can be purchased from modtraders.co.uk

hope that helps mate.
