Hopefully some of you gurus out there can give me a lead.

Seeing that my Xbox was gathering dust I thought I'd play around and see what it could do. I did the install and put things together and when I booted the front panel gave me some nice colors and then I hit a FRAG. When I double clicked the install the MS boot went fine so I wasn't too worried.

Going back in I figured I had just missed something and some of the points did look like they could be filled so I added some soldier. I also touched up the D0 point even though I'm I don't think the symptoms pointed that way.

After doing the cleanup I the front panel doesn't light up at all. I boot straight to the XBOX native bios. Is this indicative of a D0 problem? I've checked it 3 times now and it looks solid. Wouldn't the HD LED still flash? If D0 were an issue would anything on the front panel light up?

Any clues?

Thanks for any tips

I'm kinda confused by this your post.

What is the current state of your Xbox? Is it a FRAG or does it not light up at all? Does the M$ Dashboard come up? Any errors displayed?

I'll try to do my best, but I'm kinda a newb. All I can say now is double check, and then triple check your connections.

Just to clarify things a bit.

Presently my xbox will boots like there isn't a mod chip installed at all. The front panel indicators for the X3 don't light up....at all.

if it's a 1.6 or 1.6b did you connect the alt 5v?
if its not a 1.6, did you connect the alt 5v?
if its a 1.0-1.5 did you make sure the alt 5v pin wasnt touching the board?

if you answer yes to number 2, you probably fried the x3

check your solders; i had the same thing (front panel lights not coming on) and it was because of poor solder.

You said the inside on the LED lights. Well how many light up? One or two of em? You should have 2 leds light up. One for 5v and one for 3.3v.

Go bak and take your iron and touch up each solder part on the pin header. Also if you can do a continuity test to rule out your solder.

Thanks for the tip on the two lights. I had missed that in the descriptions. I took out a multi-meter and checked the power pins on the top side of the LPC. The 3.3v was not making connection. After touching it up things seem to be working just fine.

I've not done much soldering and find it a bit fascinating. In this case you had very close to see there wasn't a connecting. I've read at least two tutorials and they never seem to mention that solder has a mind of its own. The solder did not want to flow into this hole. I guess this is where using flux comes in but the solder I bought had a flux core.

Well thanks again. Now I just have to figure out what to do with this box :lol:

interesting convo about lt+ w/c4eva

[2010-11-10 04:16] <******> how's the ps3 blue-ray firmware comming along?
[2010-11-10 04:17] <c4eva> ******:will look at that when finished here, got sidetracked!
[2010-11-10 04:17] <*********> c4eva have ms tried to shaft us big time this time with ap 2.5?? titally new f/w??
[2010-11-10 04:19] <c4eva> *********:no
[2010-11-10 04:22] <*********> c4eva have you any news on lt+ for us today?
[2010-11-10 04:24] <c4eva> host supplied checks was always the holy grail for them as they know we control the fw and cant see
[2010-11-10 04:26] <*********> C4, exactly how many new checks are involved in the new AP2.5?
[2010-11-10 04:27] <*********> and what sorts of things are they checking?
[2010-11-10 04:27] <c4eva> 13 unique ones so far!
[2010-11-10 04:28] <*********> so you think there could be more than 13... :-|
[2010-11-10 04:30] <c4eva> *****:yes, i would think so, too easy to overcome otherwise!
[2010-11-10 04:32] <********> c4eva can FW+ detect unknown checks?
[2010-11-10 04:32] <c4eva> there are other checks just for slim, so more work for that one!
[2010-11-10 04:32] <******> C4eva, would it be possible to for Microsoft to run ap2.5 checks remotely at anytime?
[2010-11-10 04:33] <c4eva> lt+ will cater for any ap2.5 challenge!
[2010-11-10 04:37] <******> C4eva, out of the slims how many fw versions are there and how many look positive to create CFW's currently?
[2010-11-10 04:41] <c4eva> slim, 2 fw versions so far, they went to great lengths to hide drive key in 0225!no matter!
[2010-11-10 04:38] <c4eva> lt+ eta - when its done and tested with more titles!
[2010-11-10 04:39] <c4eva> no ap2.5 checks seen on older games so far, only fable 3, testing the water with that title!
[2010-11-10 04:48] <********> c4eva, any info in you collaboration with demonhades on ps3 fw
[2010-11-10 04:48] <c4eva> ps3 fw comes next after all this!
[2010-11-10 04:49] <******> will the ps3 fw do the exact same thing as the xbox fw? right now there is already homebrew out to run games off hard drive
[2010-11-10 04:51] <c4eva> ****:yes you cant play on psn with jailbreak
[2010-11-10 04:55] <*******> C4eva can you please verify one thing, is the only relatively unsafe rip Fable, or have you spotted any other newer releases
[2010-11-10 04:56] <c4eva> only fable so far but thats not to say a new title might have ap2.5!
[2010-11-10 05:05] <c4eva> first benq and fat liteons, then comes slim!
[2010-11-10 05:06] <c4eva> further progress has been made, all good so far!

Need for speed hot pursuit won't work until LT+ has been released. I have the exact same problem. Hopefully it won't be too long.

Re: interesting convo about lt+ w/c4eva

1. [2010-11-18 07:49PM] <c4eva> testing backups on live!
2. [2010-11-18 07:50PM] <******> +c4eva: you had any hickups along the way?
3. [2010-11-18 07:57PM] <c4eva> ******:not really
4. [2010-11-18 07:59PM] <*********> Morning c4eva, there's a title update for Black Ops, is this the kind of thing you'll log for new checks or do we assume that because a BO backup still works after the TU, that ap2.5 isn't active?
5. [2010-11-18 08:04PM] <c4eva> already checked bo update,looks good,clean xval
6. [2010-11-18 08:04PM] <*********> can i ask again aboyt nfs?
7. [2010-11-18 08:05PM] <*********> is its playable with lt+?
8. [2010-11-18 08:06PM] <c4eva> *********:yes
9. [2010-11-18 08:08PM] <*********> C4eva the new lt+ will report like original fw against live checks?
10. [2010-11-18 08:09PM] <c4eva> *********:yes
11. [2010-11-18 08:10PM] <c4eva> hello
12. [2010-11-18 08:12PM] <******> c4eva im sure you may have been asked before, but should we worry about back security? as in ap2.5 being implemented into older games and most anticipated, black ops?
13. [2010-11-18 08:14PM] <c4eva> ******:you will be protected with lt+
14. [2010-11-18 08:16PM] <******> @c4eva: c4eva, before upgrading to the new dash and put the new LT +, we must first put the stock fw, update the dash and then put the new lt?
15. [2010-11-18 08:17PM] <c4eva> ******:not required
16. [2010-11-18 08:14PM] <*****> So what I'm wondering is this: If the box is already flagged on new dash, IE not playing AP2.5 games, will the new upgrade to LT+ then enable playing these games again?
17. [2010-11-18 08:17PM] <c4eva> *****:yes
18. [2010-11-18 08:18PM] <*******> what's the drive firmware coded in anyway?
19. [2010-11-18 08:18PM] <*******> *how do you code for it
20. [2010-11-18 08:18PM] <*******> asm?
21. [2010-11-18 08:18PM] <c4eva> yes
22. [2010-11-18 08:20PM] <*******> C4eva, will a new 0800 and SSv3 be required?
23. [2010-11-18 08:20PM] <c4eva> *******:yes, eventually
24. [2010-11-18 08:21PM] <******> c4eva: did sb from MS contacet you offering a job?
25. [2010-11-18 08:23PM] <c4eva> fundamental changes were made to lt code to accomodate ap25 data, hence extra testing!
26. [2010-11-18 08:25PM] <c4eva> ******:no
27. [2010-11-18 08:26PM] <*******> C4EVA, can the sh*tty kreon be used? using abgx360 gui to inject ssv3 in future.
28. [2010-11-18 08:27PM] <*********> @c4eva - will the new lt+ compatible with all slim drives avaliabe ATM?
29. [2010-11-18 08:27PM] <c4eva> *********:later
30. [2010-11-18 08:29PM] <c4eva> *******:use kreon to dump game data only

# [2010-11-18 10.30AM] <******> c4eva can you tell me will we be waiting long for lt+ to be released?
# [2010-11-18 10:32AM] <c4eva> no
# [2010-11-18 10:40AM] <c4eva> Everything is going good to plan, maybe another week or 2.
