**Note**
On 1/29/04 xbox worked fine til kids went to bed. Next morning it would not boot up. I asked them if it got bumped but they said no. I would turn it on as normal. I got no video at all, the big green light that surrounds the eject button blinks green and red.(like a default beep on a pc) also i could hear it make a dragging noise like the fan was turning and stopping. it would do this about 3 or 4 times and then not do anything at all. I figured it for dead, so i went out and bought a new one.
I took the new hard drive out and switched it with my 120g then I put the chip in the new x-box. it is the no solder Chameleon as already mentioned. Right away i noticed the motherboards are slightly different. Old xbox=2002 and the new being 2003. The D0 spot on the board is the only hold up. I am not sure which one it is so I traced the D0 on the old one back to the chip then from the chip on the new one back to the D0. It seems to be the same at that point. When i put the pinheader in place, it did not reach the D0 spot on the new board, so i rebent it to fit.....Should I put a small dab of solder on it to hold in place? or can I pre bend it to form a connection that will apply presure to the spot. (spring like)
Right now it is over bent and drawn back slightly to add pressure when I tighten it down. Sorry so long here, just want to be as thurough as possible so you guys know what I got goin' on here.
