I am in the same situation with 2 PCB's.
Both can be flashed ok, but functional they are a mess.

One of them eject the dvd tray, the console is stuck 30 sec to 1 min to Xbox 360 logo an you either get E64 or Open tray.
The other one, it dosen't even eject dvd-tray.


Also there are 2 lots or factories where the PCB are comming from.

The smooth functional without problems is the one with the white switch for unlocking Spi and green QC Passed sticker.

The one with the problems has the switch black and the QC Passed sticker is golden.

Please confirm witch switch and sticker do you have on faulty PCB's.

Hope to resolve it by warranty.

And if this may count, i appreciate the effort from TX to make a total solderless solution, but we could get rid of the mechanical contacts, and spare 1-2$
Soldering 5 wires is not a hard job for anyone who is modding a console.
Total sh*te.

There are not two factories.

You say one is good one is bad.

This tells me the good one is genuine product and the bad one is fake product

I have seen a miniscule amount of genuine faulty boards compared to thousands shipped, and the no solder addon isnt affecting our boards not one bit.

I would be interested in seeing this pcb to confirm if its a fake or not.

If any board is genuine and is faulty then of course it is under warranty if bought from an official reseller, as always.

The boards were bought from arcalide.com, witch is also an official reseller of team xecuter.

Regarding warranty, fyi, they hardly responded 2 times at emails since last week, telling that they dind't have a problem with them.
In the same lot there were 7 pcb's. The other 5 works fine.

If you state that there is only one factory, then whose fault it is then?
The bad design of the board or the bad manufacturing bought from china?

I am including design, because one doesn't even eject the dvd-rom tray, even if the firmware is written successfully.

Dont' start to blame me of the supposition i have made, these were the difference i was observed on. I really appreciate the solution, but i would like to benefit for the money instead of losing them.

I didn't say that the no solder solution is the problem in this, i just suggested that everyone would feel happy to buy more cheap the boards and solder 5 wires instead of thouse 5 pin terminals. (Anyone who is are using these pcb can solder 5 simple wires.) More of that there are no piece available on market.

Of course, i can send it for examination to see if it is fake or not, but as i suggested is the same as in the second video, at leas from my point of view.


It seems to me that instead understanding the problem we are in you are more disturbed about it.

There is no hijack, you can see that the unlocked pcb's are the problem here, if read from beginning.

Well, i have send the pcb's to arcalide.com to use the warranty.

In response they send me the following text with screens form JF, with spi locked and unlocked.

The person in charge doesn't even recommend itself.

Hi,

Looked L, we are not responsible for your poor handling of flash pcb

We can return good status spi : 0x00 for 25€ each pcb
Tell us what we do ?
You can buy online 1 pc of pcb xecuter and we return your 2 pcb xecuter deloocked status 0x00

We have flash and test yours pcb on our 360 slim and work fine….
Very disappointed.
I think they are trying to get rid of me because i am not from France and can make any claims to customer protection. Will see about that.

Also, i have 5 years experience in modding consoles and they are blaming for locking a spi according to manual. :)
