I goofed over the weekend - Bad TSOP story.

[pepsik]

So I was modding 2 xboxs this weekend, one was a v1.1(1mb bios) and a 1.2+(256k bios) I somehow got the boxes confused and flashed the v1.1 with a 256k bios resulting in no video signal and flashing red and green. So how did i fix it you ask........simple.

you solder one wire per point on the picture, make sure the wires are about 10-12 inches long, after all the wires are soldered to the points, you put the box back together and then meet the tips of the wires together, making the xbox think it has a 256k bios - if you break the connection the xbox is in 1mb bios mode, after that I reflashed the TSOP with a 1mb bios. Unsoldered the wires with desoldering braid and put the box back together.....


be careful when flashing, i've done about 25 boxes now and thats my first goof, I hope this helps anyone in a similar situation.

no pic- xbox scene somehow prevent people reffing pics off their site :(

maybe a link will work

glad you got it sorted!

weird it worked when I posted it, can't link to it either, well anyway you solder the three wires to the same points on the board that you would to install a switch for TSOP.

Can't really blame'm for blocking link access though m8. Although it would be nice, it's understandable as I'm sure a few twats have taken credit for their hard work in the past.

At least you didn't get the gi joe porn like I did. ;)

Some people consider it stealing bandwidth, I like to see it as 'borrowing' it. :)

Yea, you force the xbox too boot from the first secton first.

Maybe you should ease up on the pepsi next time, eh? lol

yeah i have seen it.. also those point you can just use those points and make your Xbox bios into an 256k bios if you want...don't know why thoi.. or add 4 bios in there. with a switch one dies use the other one :-p.. don't get trigger happy and start flashing your xbox left and right now.. once all for four of that bios die... it's bye bye baby :-p

LOL:laugh:

Wish I had a server somewhere and I would post the pic somewhere, x-s seems to be the only place with that particular pic :( One day I'll get a digi cam and take my own pics of the wired fixed.

Just save the pic to your pc and upload it using uploadit.org and you can then borrow the pic. :)
