Hello All,
I recently bought an Xecuter 2.6 LITE with an Xapter solderless adapter. I followed the Xapter install tutorial, and everything was install right, but when I went to boot up my box, it FRAGed. It works fine with the chip off. The only thing wrong I did was I put the chip on backwards (meaning the holes with no pins inserted faced the controller ports).

Soon after that, I placed the chip on correctly. I began to think the chip was fried, but had already ordered a pc flasher before I realized this. So, I plugged on the chip on the programmer and it read the memory. Then I flashed X2 bios on bank 1 and 2, and Flashbios 3.03 on banks 3 and 4. Wrote ok, but when plugged into the box, it still fragged. My question to you is could the chip be fried? Or is there a way to repair it? If it's toast, my new Xecuter 2.6 (and the new Xapt3r since the Xapter broke shortly after flashing via pc :( ) will be here on Monday. NOTE: I looked through the forums for a problem like mine, but I couldn't find that occured with my version of box (I only found problems on 1.0, 1.1, and 1.6, no 1.2-1.5).

Thanks,
-Njh

If it's flashing the chip ok (with no errors) then the chip is probably fine.

You're using the solderless adaptor, meaning the LPC points are connecting to the chip via pogo pins. If the LPC points aren't touching correctly or are dirty, you won't get a good connection and it'll FRAG.

Get a stiff pencil eraser and rub over the LPC holes. Make sure you then align the solderless adaptor correctly. This is a common problem and is usually solved by cleaning the LPC holes.

TBH, it may be easier to get someone to solder the chip for you. It's a much better way of connecting it.
