I have a problem with a V1.4 XBOX that I thought you guys may have seen before. The explanation is a bit long but if you can help at all it might shed some light. Thanks for taking the time.
It was my first V1.4 conversion and hadn't noticed the FOCUS Video chip.
I installed the good old Chameleon with Executer BIOS and of course it didn't go.
Tried another thinking It was a bad FLASH, still no go!
Decided to consult the BIBLE (xbox-scene.com) and discovered V1.4 Bugger!
FLASHED a few Chameleons with the Evox M7 BIOS, (Like the new Excuter better, thanks guys great job!)
Still no go!!
The symptoms:
Power cycles three times with the Green Led and then continuosly Flashes the the Red/Amber. It does this even after I removed all mod hardware and wires.
I have checked for Solder splashes under magnification and all original Solder Pads seem to be in good shape.
The curiosity:
I hate being beaten so I have been working on this (my only failure to date) for a long time. If I add a resister (2M Ohm) between Pin 5 of the Mod socket and the small through hole solder point directly opposit (where Pin 4 would go) it works as per normal as an original XBOX.
I noticed this through hole solder point has a track that ends just before PIN 5, does anyone know if plays some lead or capacitive effect on from Pin 5??
Can anyone suggest anything or can anyone direct me to Tech info on XBOX Architecture??
However it still does not work with a mod chip.
Thanks guys,
