Hello ,
I bought a second xbox to give it a clear case mod, however it was not working, so I opened it up, first suspect was the PSU, however after trying it in another xbox and trying my other xbox PSU here it did not work, so it was not PSU.
so I moved to the motherboard, under it there is a modchip with maaany wires I guess this one is to play backups only, and on the top side of it the usual red color modchip for EVO-X etc (Alladdin advance I think is its name), so by searching all the capacitors none was visually leaking, but looking closely at the red color modchip, I thought it might be the issue, so I de-soldered it, and the console powered up and screen display is fine, however it gives (service) secreen with no error code!! I guess it could be the HDD formatted with a dashboard or something...
later I thought of re-installing it using wires instead of direct soldering to the mother board, and again the console stopped working, sometimes only a small spin of the fan, sometimes just powers on then immediate off, then on by itself, and without screen display, then the light keeps changing its color to many colors ...
so my question is : is it only a defective mod-chip issue? or is there another problem??
Thank you
