I am in the middle of doing a X3 chip in my box, get 3.3v and 5v lights, resoldered everything 10 times now, always the same, green off - green off - frag, what causes this? Can I test without putting the dvd drive in and hdd? It would save time, lol. Any clues>? Also, I would consider myself a pretty decent solderer, I have been in electronics for 7 years. TYIA

I can't help you with the soldering, except to tell you when done right, the solder looks like little cones. I can tell you, however, that you can test without the HDD and DVD drive in: as long as the blue LEDs on the chip come on when the XBox is turned on, then the mod is working.

Wish I could help you more!

EDIT: And it sounds like your solder job will be of high quality, so ignore my first sentence. :)

FRAG is typically caused by a bad solder on the pinheader. Your D0 point is fine otherwise you'd probably just boot to MS dash. So... I know you say you're skilled with soldering but I'd take a closer and more critical look at the solder job, particularly if you have a 1.6 and had to do the rebuild.

OK, I ripped the friggen rebuild off, (never allow a woman to get mad at electronics) and have resoldered all points with wire, the D0 trace looks rough to me though, is there an alternate d0 pad? If so please post pics. Thanks you guys r the best.

For a 1.6 i believe there is only 1 d0 point. Unfortunately.

Dude! PackerBacker!, you're a female? Like, of the girl type? No penis? :) Awesome! I've never met a non-male modder before. In fact, I think I'll give you reputation points for that! :)

Okay... I'm done. :D

LoL

I just think it's nifty... that's all.

Besides, I have to wipe the drool off my keyboard, not my face. I'm much too dignified to drool on my face! :D

Sad ... so sad. Someone needs to spend less time with their Xbox, and more time out in the real world. If I was the type to quote other people in my sig file, this would DEFINITELY get in :)

There is another LFRAME point on the top side. Its a nasty point to get to though.
I have been searching for one of the original topside 1.6 rebuild diagrams, but have come up short so far. If I can find it, I will add to the post.

Good idea! I can laugh at myself pretty easily. I don't care about the target of a joke, even if it's me. As long as it's funny!

PS: I actually spend very little time on the XBox... mostly school work! :) The last semester of high school can be a real killer if you're taking 2 AP courses and 2 College courses.

PPS: I was intentionally exaggerating my surprise for comedic value...
