[bazrich1]

hi guys thx for looking at my problem,i bought a faulty xbox v1.0 and stuck a x2.6 mod chip in because the drive kept coming up disc is dirty or scratched, thinkin i would just put new drive in the chip is installed correctly i know this for a fact no need to worry about that.But now i have found a new problem when i switch it on and start playing a game it freezes and makes horrible screching sound but when reboot the box its fine again not sure if its a faulty board or possibly hard drive please help its for xmas prezy thx a lot

A Christmas present and you are already concerned? Shouldn't you be waiting until Dec 23 or something and then getting angry because people don't reply 10 seconds after you post?

So did you already swap the DVD drives? Does the eject/power light flash at all when it locks up. I would look to make sure you didn't pinch any wires when you put the Xbox back together.

no wires traped or pinched,no light flashing just freezing as i said.

 

[bazrich1]

yes have changed the dvd drive

 

[bazrich1]

reflash the 2.6 then try
dont say theres nothing wrong with the bios just try to eliminate as many points as possible!

Does it freeze with the chip off as well?

 

[bazrich1]

yes it does freeze when disable? this one is a real mind niggler

 

[JimBobUK]

remove the chip, does it freeze then?

 

[bazrich1]

yes ive tryed everything thats why i said its definatly not the chip, ive have tryed every thing bar a new board, and hdd, but i dont think it wil be hdd but im not gona rule it out. any sugestions?

If the problem is with your soldering simply removing the chip doesn't prove anything. You have the wires or the pinheader. as well as any LPC rebuild and D0, HDD and LAN soldering you did. The goal is to get the Xbox back to stock and go from there.

ive tryed it from stock, thats why i said its not the chip, i removed that after trying new rom,i bought it as a faulty box "doesent read discs" so i chiped it tryed it,it worked,then problem 2 this problem "keeps freezing" so removed chip, same thing so put it back in ,and now trying to solve it. i shouldent have put it back in realy but never mind about that,thats my fault im leaning towards a new board what do you think? ile try hdd 1st to eliminate that to your comments are read and very helpfull

hmmmm if u had this problem before you even started to chip it you will prollybe winning a loosing battle!
did you get it off ebay per chance?
unless you are going to check the mobo trace by trace, chip by chip, resistor by resistor, etc by etc then its a door stop!

sorry man!

 

[bazrich1]

lol yes did get it off ebay, do you think yhis is for spare's i have tyred everything i can put it down to,im no whizz kid but i do know what i am doing and i to think there is a fault on the board somewhere any way thx a lot for your posts have been helpfull, this 1s had its last life gettin striped

 

[JimBobUK]

yeah its spares really unlesssss..... you wanna send the board away to be tested and fixed. there is a company out there that charge £50 i think to check and fix the board, but if they find it beyond repair there is no refund!
Its a big chance you take.
eBay really is a bad place to buy xbox from! you know you are going to get dead items there!

 

[bazrich1]

ok thx m8 it goin to be used for spare's as i get them for less than £50 working thx again

 

[JimBobUK]

cheers....
