After the a 3 hour install, the box starts so i didnt burned but, the external swith and the second led of the 3v doesnt light up, the one of the 5v lights up can some one tell me what may be the problem? ahh I used the pin header install.

I had the same problem on my 1.6 box, but I couldn't get my pin15 to come up with 3.3V, so I found an alternate 3.3 volt source that was included in the instructions for another mod chip, and it started working after that. If anyone wants to know the point I use, let me know (I forget off the top of my head). I will try to find it again and post it if I do...

easy - pin 9 on the LPC as shown in the picture

 

[gleen2k]

Actually, no. Pin 9 also did not have 3.3V either. If you look at the travce on the X3, pin 9 and pin 15 are connected together. So I used this diagram to get 3.3V to pin 9 (From the point near R8R1):

then you have an xbox that no one else in the world has

well done !!!!

PS by connecting pin 15 and 9 together as shown by smartxx (thats NOT the x3 diagram so why the f**k you used that i dont know - we HAVE NO NEED TO LINK 9 and 15 together !) you may have f**ked up your mod

 

[gleen2k]

Uh, no. I did NOT connect pin 9 and 15 together. If you follow the traces on the x3 chip, like I said, you will notice they are connected. I may have messed up soldering pin 15 on the header, but all of my other solder points worked fine. Also, I know the picture I posted was from another mod chip... It was an example of the point I used. I was only posting what I did in case anyone else had problems bringing up the 3.3V side like I did.

im having the same problem i did lpc rebuild with my new xbox and i cant get the 3.3v light to pop up with 9 or 15 either

xbox manufactuer date is 9-9-2004

ill try what u posted gleen and report back if it works

 

[Keep]

hmm no go i tried everything 9 pin 15 pin option here and still nothing works i only get 5v light

 

[gleen2k]

If you have a voltmeter check your grounding on pin 2 and 12 also. With DIY soldering, there's a pretty good chance of making mistakes. Also, check your D0, lot's of people seem to have problems connecting that point. Other than that, I couldn't really help you.

GLEEN 2K- you are a badass. I don't know what the hell they were all talking about. I got my 3.3v point connected to where you said, and voila-it works. So- to anyone else that is having the problem where the 3.3v wont light up, and it's not cuz of your soldering-do what he suggested above.

THANKS AGAIN.
