you are correct korn. You take a jtagable xbox you dump the nand 1st then you pull the cpu off and transplant it to a working board and rewrite the nand back to it. pretty simple really! Provided of course you know how to reball the cpu chip....
was just thinking it might be easyer to come across a dead mobo that had a jtagable CPU VS a whole JTAGable system in the first place lol
if you live in the US xmods does reballs there are others here also i believe i just know that xmods is one of them
$80 (xmods reball price) plus the cost (if any)of a dead donor board is about what you would pay for a referb 360 any how
is there any difference in the CPU from board to board for example would he have to find a jasper donor board?
if its any thing like computers (with different mobo revisions) i wouldn't imagine there is any physical differences in the CPU its self just in the board traces and such, than again i have read about a few differences in the CPU for certin boards (i think one of them was the jasper) something about XXXms (milliseconds i believe) or some thing like that, any one have more insight about this areas for the poster perhaps?
