Re: Reparing Original Consoles

I take the bands out and just clean them with isopropyl alc and put them back and they usually work after that, some need the dust cleaned out of the tracks and gears.

Re: Sound Output At The AVI Plug.

Interested to see if this will work, an xbox with lcd and on board speakers would be pretty cool. I saved a pair of speakers from an old TV but i think they will need an amp of some kind.

Re: Who Referbeshed This

I've had a couple of MS refurbed consoles and there is no way to tell apart from the box they came in, internally there are no marks labels or stickers.

Steve, you have to un-socket the chip before you can flash the tsop otherwise all you are doing is re-flashing the chip.

Re: i Was Running Out Of Xboxes So i Bought Some.

I install a pin headder on every xbox softmod it remove the chip and flash the tsop. Yer my issue is I don't have any of the games required to softmod. You don't need any special game to do that, as I told you before. :) All you need is to be able to boot an installer disk with a softmod installer ...
