I need some help,a friend wanted me to flash his tsop on his x-box ver 1.0, opened it up briged the points top and bottom ( just like i have done numerous times) and turned it on, nothing !!no lights no sounds, zero, the bad thing is I didn't try it before I bridged the points so I don't even know if it worked in the first place !! and yes the cord has power and there are no burned traces or solder blobs.

try another psu.....

just pull one of your own xbox's apart/swap psu or something

even a total bolloxed mobo you should get something - even if it's just fragging

check the power switch is plugged in properly & daughterboard on ver 1.0

reckon the psu has blown fuse or something like that - best of luck

thats what i did once. lol

Bad PSU

well, I think its the mobo even tho it looks ok, I put my mobo in his case and it booted fine, I tried his in mine and no lights at all, same as before, any ideas

That would indicate to me that DaShiZNiT is right bad PSU

if anybody is interested what I did was go back and remove all solder, clean all traces and it booted !! resoldered and all is well

What, if you try the same board in 2 machines, and it doesn't work in either, then it's the PSU that's at fault?
If the PSU was at fault, his own board wouldn't have booted in the box with the suspect PSU. Which it did.

Board fault. Or in this case, stray solder, resulting in a board fault.

Good way to test though, trial by substitution. I'd have been a bit wary about trying a known-good board on a suspect PSU though, in case the PSU is giving out too much voltage and is killing the boards!
