Dear xboxers

First the story...I tried to install the xbit by doing a soldering work. I used for it a huge 10*n W solder iron and it just burn the tracks, so the box was fragged...but i saved it, by...:

the D0 point where the frag happened was something like:

o-broken------chip

--- (stands for trace)
o (stands for D0 point)

I bought a 25W pencil solder and start doing some things...

first i connect the lost trace to the D0 point with the wire from the modchip like...

o-====-----chip

== (stands for wire)

this means that using the wire for the D0 i repeared the lost trace

The xbox boot normaly but only the M$ dash????

I was frustated so i used a plastic thing to put pressure over the D0 point that gave the M$ dash and when i put pressure at the side of the trace then the precious X_ecuter arose from the depths.

So i solder the wire as

o-broken==---chip

th == leads to the modchip (xbit directly)

And the box now boots only from xecuter, but when i disable the mod (X-BIT) all i get is the frag combination ( green green red)...

Any clues? If you can understand a thing!!!



OLE OLE OLE OLE
HELLAS OLEEEE OLEEEE OLEEEE

do you have the stock hard drive in there?

yep with evox 3925 if i remember correctly but keep in mind that there is no continuity of the D0 trace...

The box will frag without the D0 trace connected when booting the normal bios. to complete the repair wire the Top D0 trace to The Bottom D0.

You mean to solder a wire from the D0 point at the back of the motherboard to the D0 point corresponding to the modchip (x-bit)? I'm having problems understanding the exact soldering i have to do, cause when i tried to fix the trace the xbox booted only the standard M$ dash

thanks for the answers
