Well I FUBARED....I toasted my xbox and now need help

[MrCaine01]

Yeah, I was sitting around figuring that out. I think what happened was when I severed the wires to the switch for the x2.3 lite and re-soldered then together I know I didn't insulate them cuz I was a little friggin paniced and wasn't thinking "short" but "hey if these don't work I'll have re-solder them again" and I think they touched the metal case. Cuz that;s when I saw smoke, then I just watched the leds on the chip blink off and never come back on again. The box still powers up without the chip but I get the error code 16 which is probably cuz I unlocked my hdd and never got the chance to re-lock it.

yep that will be ur problem

[MrCaine01]

do any of you guys know if the new x2.6 chip uses the same wires that the x2.3 uses? Let me see if I can clairify....um...well I still have the 9 wires soldered into my xbox and I removed the chip from these wires. Does the x2.6 accept the plug in part of the old wires on the new chip? pretty much I'm asking if they used the same part on a new chip....that way I maybe don't have to go re-solder those wires in again.

as i said ask on team xecuter as they will know better than us. I am sure its the same but double check!

[MrCaine01]

I posted on their board and I still haven't gotten anything at all. I posted it twice and still zip.

I'm guessing you did but just in case.. did you try a google seach for an instruction manual?.. maybe it'd mention wire colors.. dunno.. worth a try if you haven't already.

[MrCaine01]

it's not a bad idea and it probably is the same...I mean the x2.6 is only an upgraded model of the x2.3. I wish RMS were here cuz I know he's dealt with both chips.
