Got one back that I did awhile back which frags with no video output. When opened up it was dusty as hell and the chip was "cocked" toward the outside on the header. Cleaned out the dust, removed and replaced the chip, and it booted up so i killed some files and set the network settings so I could update to latest xbmc and it failed to boot on restart or at all after that. Now it just restarts the standard 3 trys and frags. Checked continuity on all wires on lpc rebuild as well as jumper to bt for always on and everything appears good. I'm at a loss aside from pulling my box apart to swap chips and see if the chip itself could be the problem.

Any intelligible responses appreciated.

Disable chip and see if it still frags, an error 5 for unlocked hdd or some other service screen or a working msdash will be nice.

It's gonna frag without the chip since d0 is wired to ground... I suppose I could clip the wire and see if it at least throws a code.
