v1.0 still wont boot. I have pics of wire install

[silentblackhat]

I have the v1.0 that im losin the x2.6ce on but it wont boot up at all. All the voltages check out(i check the voltages of the lpc when the chip is turned off, is that how you do it?) and all of the continuity checks check out good. Cna anyone tell me if i did something wrong on this install or does it look good to you? By the way, pins 2 and 6 are sodlered on the back, i have that also. (the 'blob' on the top where pin 6 goes is coverin the wire that sticks through from the bottom). I have tried the x25035 bios and it would work. i flash ed that to the bank 2 and flash bios to bank 1, is that how u are suppsoed to flash it with the external programmer?)

Redo that D0 wire (grey) and use less solder, and cut some of the exposed wire off too. Only need a couple of mm.

Take each wire from your pin header out one at a time and trim the exposed wire there also. That way, when you put it back in, ALL of the xposed wire goes into the LPC and the plastic coating around the wire stops any possible shorts. None should stick out the other side of the board. If it does it's too long.


What's the reason for pins 2 & 6 being soldered underneath the board?
You had me concerned for a moment, i thought you had the HDD and LAN wires soldered in some weird places! LOL

alright, im about to redo the whole thing and hope it works. so i need to desolder everything out of the holes also? or can i just melt some more solder on the points? i had someone say that it looks like i didnt have enough solder in the 'holes'. thanks for the help allready.

Nah, it looks to me like you've got enough solder, but your wires have had so much plastic stripped that they are sticking out of the holes too far. See the red wire on your last pic. Make them all look like that (except don't have any wire sticking out the other side of the board, trim it down)

That may not affect your current situation but it will make sure your not getting any shorts and make it easier to trouble shoot.

Also in answer to a question i think you asked, you measure the voltage on the pins with the chip disconnected, and power to the xbox on.
