Red Light on Brick, Have only flashed my lite-On Nothing Else

[Vortexic]

Hey guys got a small problem.

Flashed my Lite-On on my Phat Xbox 360 at my friends house. We tried put it back together and plugged it into his power brick. Xbox Booted up fine and we tested a backup game to make sure it worked.

It did game ran fine and all.

Now a few days later I hooked up my xbox at my house it has been sitting on my entertainment center the whole time.

Plugged it up to the tv MY power brick, hit the power button and for a split second the green power light in the center of the rings turns on then off. After that power brick light turns from yellow to red.

Tried a different power brick from another friend.

Tried swapping outlets etc.

We have not done any other modding except for flashing and it did work at one point after the flash. Any Ideas?

I dont know how to solder and we did not mess with that stuff.

IM DESPERATE!

Would appreciate any help thanks!

Edited: I also have scoured the forums but everyone is JTAG and thats not my case. Not sure what people are talking about the USB pins and such. Is that on the inside?

What did you use to power the drive during flashing?

What other hardware was used?

Hello Martin thanks for the quick reply.

We originally tried using the xecuter device to power the drive but it wasn't working so we used my friends brick to power the Xbox which powered the cdrom. We used the needle probe to get the drive key and the usb tool to connect and flash lt+ver 3

I would therefore try booting the console with the drive disconnected. It's possible it has nothing to do with the drive flash but the second you use the console as power (which is a massive no-no), all bets are off.

 

[Vortexic]

Ok I will do so. If it works should we try reflashing the drive? And if so do we need to order another power adapter from xecutor? Or would I be fine to power it through the computer and not the Xbox.

 

[Martin C]

I'm confused - the drive should have been powered via your PC to begin with? That or a USB to Molex adaptor.

How did you have it set up?

 

[Vortexic]

We had the Molex adapter but it wasn't powering up for some reason. No lights nothing. And of course the cdrom was not being powered up. Since all we had was a laptop at the time we improvised with with powering it through the Xbox. Sounds like we should have waited for a pc. Let me remind you that we were able to play a backup game after so the flash worked. However I will do it again if that's what is best.

I jus don't understand why it would work then not even power up after. Makes no sense.

Did you by any chance unplug the drive and reconnect after your test? If so maybe you plug it in backwards.


I hate TapaTalk auto correction. Please bare with me.

USB header bent?

 

[Vortexic]

I'm doing this from my phone so the same with me lol

We tested then put back together so something could have been messed up. Funny thing I just got off the phone with my neighbor who's power supply I borrowed his Xbox won't turn on anymore. Sounds like my ex box is burning out power supplies now I need to buy myself 1 and my neighbor lol

 

[Martin C]

Yep - unfortunately using your console as a power source is a problem if you plug in the power cable incorrectly.

Did he unplug the power supply from the wall and let it disapat? I have a box that turns the power brick and it stay red untill I unplug it for at least 30 sec.s then it fine once I plug it back in.

 

[Vortexic]

Yeah I tried unplugging it from the wall. The worst part was when I tried my friends his doesn't work anymore. Now I have to buy 2 power supplies. And of course gamestop or bestbuy does not sell them back to the internet and overpriced I'm sure they will be.

Thanks for all your help I will update when I tried opening it up and checking it out
