Xbox Flashing Orange?
Posted: Wed Oct 17, 2018 2:24 pm
I softmoded my xbox original today and all was well until I hooked up a 500GB HDD with Sata adapter. Once I hooked these up they were fine until I screwed the lid down, after that the xbox fan went wild, the light around the eject button flashed orange and then the xbox shut down. After multiple tries to get the thing working again i figured that the xbox had just overheated and died on me.
At this point I pulled the HDD and Sata adapter out and proceeded to install them on my backup xbox, the same thing happened as above. I have come to the conclusion that one of both parts were faulty and will bin them.
What I would like to know is if there is any solution to getting both xboxs functioning again. The consoles were not on long enough to overheat so I think this may be a false flag and it is something on the motherboard that needs resetting? Has anyone else had this problem and solved it? I am handy at soldering so Im not afraid to start replacing components etc.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks!
