killed my xbox?

[shades_of_blue]

i have either an xbox 1.0 or 1.1 (don't remember) with an executer 2.3b lite. I was going to upgrade my systems HDD from 40gig to 200gig and desided to clean it up properly, removed both of the heatsinks, cleaned the surfaces and applied artic silver to them, then reassembled the whole thing.

Once I turned it back on, with the chip on it tuned on, then off twice then finally turned on and stayed on, but did not post. So I turned the chip off and it posts normally, switch it back on and same thing. Any ideas what exactly I did wrong? I reseated the modchip on it's pins, but it didn't fix anything. Also, when it resets, it takes out the systems internal clock.

I tried my old 40gig drive too (before trying the system with switch off), thinking that could be related and that did not fix the issue.

The xbox is looking for a bios to boot from, 1st of all it looks on the LPC port if the Ms flash has been disabled), it will try this 3 times and then FRAG. So it looks like the chip install is now a problem either you damaged/removed some wiring or killed the chip.

Check your solder points over (esp your D0 that is what it sounds like to me)

Already checked the D0 solder point, looks a-ok. I assumed that would be my issue, right after reinstalling the 40gig did not resolve the issue.

I did notice that one of my chips pins was loose, it may have grounded out on the EMF shielding. I resoldered it, still nothing. No apparent trace line damage to the motherboard, that I could see and the chip looks fine visually.

Guess I'll have to send it out for repair, maybe I can find someone willing to trade for a TOSP flashed system...
