jmjustin6 Posted October 7, 2016 Report Share Posted October 7, 2016 So i just got back from the thrift store. I saw this xbox there and saw this weird looking chip thing on the front of it. I have never seen it before so i thought this xbox might be modded (but not sure). When i go to turn it on tue xbox logo comes up then gives me this page saying the xbox needs to be serviced. Also the disk drive wont come out. The light around the power button flashes My main question here is has anyone ever seen this chip looking thing before. It lights up and there are wires leading inside the xbox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RickR Posted October 7, 2016 Report Share Posted October 7, 2016 It looks like some kind of switching device that lets you choose a ROM-set to boot from. Probably to allow you to play games from different regions? Sorry I can't be of much help here, as I don't know much about hard-mods. But on my "to-do" list is to soft-mod my XBOX. I have the right cords/memory/disk items, just need to sit down and do it. Lost Dragon 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RickR Posted October 7, 2016 Report Share Posted October 7, 2016 I was given this link from someone on Facebook http://team-xecuter.com/x3/tutorials/x3pin16.htm Wow, you found something pretty cool. Now to figure out why it doesn't work. Maybe the hard drive has gone bad? Lost Dragon 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmjustin6 Posted October 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2016 You dont think that the switches are just in the wrong order? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickR Posted October 7, 2016 Report Share Posted October 7, 2016 From that last picture on that link...looks like maybe you just need to quick-press the power switch. Or try power and eject together. Lost Dragon and Justin 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chas10e Posted October 8, 2016 Report Share Posted October 8, 2016 looks like that #5 is an error code from looking at this: http://forums.afterdawn.com/threads/xbox-error-codes-explained-go-here-first.373255/ RickR 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very quick and light press of the button. That logo thing on the mod should be blue, not red. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmjustin6 Posted October 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2016 Well now its blue, but nothing shows up on the screen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmjustin6 Posted October 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2016 Because its blue but nothing on screen people are saying that the switches must not be in the right order Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmjustin6 Posted October 14, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2016 So i finally got some time alone to mess aroud with this thing. I just started flipping through the switches to see what would happen Most of them did nothi g but i flip the third switch and this comes up and the disc drive opens. But funny thing is i turned the xbox off and now i cant get the disc drive to open again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StormSurge Posted October 15, 2016 Report Share Posted October 15, 2016 So does anyone want to try & fix mine? It's hard modded but I can't figure out how to install emulators/roms to it. I'm happy to pay to ship it to & fro and provide compensation for invested time. RickR 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmjustin6 Posted November 1, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2016 (edited) Ok so i found GTA 3 at goodwill today. Now i was finally able to test a game on this thing. First off it took a while for it to read the disc (No scratches whatsoever on the disc) when it finally read the disc it was like it kept freezing on the first loading screen Now gameplay. Very very lagy. Im driving down the street and the buildings and other cars are not showing up onthe screen fast enough so they all look like a bunch of grey blobs. Then when the cut seen comes on the buildings magically come into focus in a split second Edited November 1, 2016 by jmjustin6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
