This is for your 1.6 xbox...all alladin diagrams work, you MUST rebuild the LPC frame in order to get the xbox to work.

scroll down until you see the picture of the Lframe and where you have to cut it

Enjoy and Happy Modding

I cant get it to work whatever i do ,I cut that track and it didn't even start , just lights up and no picture at all ,I rechecked the pcb several times, it appears that my chip is either broken on incompatible with v 1.6, it doesn't look like that chip in the diagram its a super Aladdin live, not Aladdin XT like in that scheme but i saw in several sites that it supports my console.
Anyway, I have another box with duox3 and avalaunch, I just wanted to fix it

thanks anyway

hmmmm.....it suppose to work just as the xt....no matter if it is A,B or C
ok..since as you cut the L frame trace on the mainboard, solder the D0 point to any part of the cut part on the L frame and see if it boots if not i'll PM you

I have the same issue with aladdin live chip. I flashed it with bios X2.4983.67...trying to install a 500gb hd. It will not boot up but it powers up. My mobo is 1.6b.

I grabbed the mod chip cuz I messed up on the softmod..i unlocked the harddrive and didnt back it up.

Help.

X2.4983.67 - bad choice - doesn't support on-disk partitions, and can't be edited. Use iND-BIOS.5003, X2.4981 or Evox M8+ instead.

Did you fit the LPC rebuild board, or manually rewire the LPC connections? A 1.6 won't boot from a chip unless you do.
