Tried to install my modchip today (Well.. one for a friend)
First modchip install... not TOO good with soldering, but not very bad.
I tried booting it up with no HD or DVD drive first (Read somewhere that with it working, it should boot into the bios or the normal dash at least) I got a on/off, then FRAG.
I took it apart... looked at all the solders,and none looked bad... so I put it back in... and then there was no frag, but an error 8(no HDD found) So I thought... ok, must need to put them in. I put in everything... and then I got a Frag again. I thought... ok, weird. So I moved the ide cable around a bit.. shifting the motherboard (only got 1 screw in.. .to test it) and redid it... and it booted, but I got a Error code 7 (HDD time out) I unplugged the chip, tried booting it up...and I get the HDD time out error still.
I made sure not to over heat my board... onlything I ever even touched it for, was for the red green wire, and for the DOA.
It's a version 1.6 Xbox. Installed the LPC rebuild and everything. (Soldered before I installed the rebuild.. soldered the D0 point before to
Havent taken the rebuild off... to look at the solder again, make sure theres no excess solder on the board under it)
I was wondering what the problem could be? I know it'd FRAG without the modchip, if there was solder on the board... however, I dont think it'd flash error code 7... with or without it? Any help?
*Edit* Err... *Smacks the sh*t out of himself for being a dumbass* had the IDE cable in wrong. Ok.. boots up fine without the modchip. now to try with it booted in... wiill edit in a second.
