i hate to bring back a dead thread but...
I have a xenon JTAG, dash 9199. it also has the GPU fried, and ram errors...I've done the x-clamp and heatgun fix properly, with no luck.
I was wondering if i could switch out the CPU/Nand and put them on a different xenon board. Would this be easier than replacing both the RAM and GPU? also, would the two boards both have to have the 9199 dash?
i also don't have a reball station...could solder balls and a heatgun do the trick?
You can swap out the GPU to any console regardless of what dash it is on but the CPU and nand are linked and need to be swapped out in pairs. Instead of swapping out the nand the easier thing to do would be to use nandx or a elcheapo LPT methood to grab it from the old nand and dump it to the new one. Unfortunately there is no easy way out for the CPU though apart from clean lifting it from the old board, reballing and then realigned properly to be resoldered back to the new board.
