Xbox Error Code 05

Post by Hodge92 »

Hey all, I've got a 1.5TB SATA HDD in my xbox. I recieved some ATA 133 cables today so I install'd them and now I'm getting Error 05 no matter what cable I use. Any ideas? The Xbox is modchipped with a Aladin chip. I did have XBMC and some games and Coinops installed but now it won't boot at all. Thanks!

Enable the chip, your booting it with the retail bios. You need to hold the power button for 1 second for the chip to activate. ( unless you have the BT point always grounded )

I have done that, but it still won't boot at all.

Error 5 is unlocked HDD, so the retail bios is loading and give you the error. So the chip has died or the BT wire has come lose. You may want to open it up and have a look.

This is how the chip looks at the moment.

Looks all ok, do the LEDs light up when the Xbox is powered?

The chip maybe dead?

Also forget what I said about BT, yours is grounded so it's always on.

Check to make sure the d0 wire is grounded and there is no shorts, the LED means it's getting power so that's not broken.

The d0 wire is what tells the Xbox to boot from the LPC ( chip ) instead of the TSOP or ROM.

You've got a v1.4 with a Winbond TSOP.

If you can't get the modchip to work, disable/remove it and flash the TSOP instead.
