Hi I'm after a bit of help if anyone can identify the chip in my picture

How can I sort out the display please and do I not need to plug the bits back in to the front and I'm not shore if the switches are are in the right places as this hasent been turnt on for years thanks for all ur help

 

I wouldn't be able to tell you where the switches need to be because they just change which bios bank the chip boots to. Since you're getting a dash I wouldn't move them. For the resolution you will need a controller to change that.

 

It looks like its a widescreen tv, but xbox is outputting 4:3

 

I remember that skin it is for the XBMC media player, I think I have that still in the folders on my xbox.

 

Thanks mate if I get a controller will I be able to play the games saved on it and what shod I do about the wires on the front do they hath to be connected in order for me to access the hard drive .iv got a nother Xbox not chipes would I be able to switch the bit the power cable plugs in thanks for all ov this help

It's a widescreen telly and its makeing the screen smaller alone the bottom and on both sides.when it turns on it fill up the hole screen then goes smaller it all so takes up the hole screen when the screen saver comes up

 

It depends on which version motherboards are in both Xbox units. You might be able to, we'd have to see the motherboards in both.

 

What part is the mother boards Iv think Iv located the problem and won't need to switch parts .the part you plug the power in to is lose the actual 2 pin bit wiggles about a bit il take a picture quick

Yes that's the problem I was speaking of. Its likely the solder pads at the bottom of that power supply are bad at where the pins connect and just needs to be reflowed. That may fix the power issue.. as for the aspect ratio you should with a controller be able to access a control panel of sorts in that custom dash to change its display settings from 4:3 to 16:9

 

Il pick up a controller Tomero and hopefuly find out what's on this Xbox.so do I not hath to re join the wires at the front.and could you please tell me some more about how to fix the power issue

 

While you got it open take out the hdd and the dvd drive and post a pic of the chip.

 

what part would you like a pic ov

There appears to be 2 switchs inside one as a side ways whell and the other is a small one on the othere side of the chip

 

Jackpot, its an xecuter 3. Its the best xbox modchip.

 

I have an Xecuter 3 Front panel that looked exactly like that when I got it, with the same connection broken and the front cover missing. I managed re solder the broken conection but those points are pretty small. I also created a front cover from the official design and printed it out in paper, its nowhere near perfect but it looks a lot better than nothing. http://imgur.com/wT7ppum

 

A picture of the chip isn't necessary, we know what it is at this point. To fix the power issue you will need yo remove the power supply from the case and flip it over. Where the power port connection pins connect to the PCB you need to get you're soldering iron and reflow the contacts.

 

Will it not work with both wires at front not attached and the bit that needs to be re solderd is missing any ideas on what I could do there.can you tell me any more on the switches on the out side and the 2 on the inside

 

The switches on the inside are as follows, the wheel is a contrast control for the x3 LCD add on that was available when the chip was still made and the small switch puts the chip into its emergency backup bios bank so if you flash the chip badly you can recover it by flipping the switch and reflashing it.

 

Looks good you up for makeing another

Thanks for that so will I not realy be needing them switches or the ones on the out side and il do soldering this week end hopefully it's got super mario on it

 

Dwane - you won't really need the front switch panel unless you want to reflash or select different banks on the chip but if you are in the UK I can sell you a new one pretty cheaply.

Suggest you sort that power supply problem pronto though. Remember that even when a power supply is unplugged, it can have some pretty nasty voltages stored up in the capacitors so be careful or get someone else to do it if you are not sure.

Nice find mate )

 

Here is a zip with some stuff for the executer 3 in it, its got a copy of the front cover in both an image format and a word document with 4 copies on it at pretty much the correct size (a small ammount of trimming if you want it to be perfect) I cut the cover out with a knife, the zip has also got a text file with some info on the switch and controller combinations.

And yeah, watch out for that power supply.

 

Is there anywhere I could get I it fixed I don't think I can sort the issue and that's great if I don't need to reattach the front wires as looks bit to close together for me to do.the hard drive is only 200gb is that anuff and what's the chances of snes emulator and roms on there I'm trying to get a controller tonight but will probily hath to be Tomero

I live in Southampton is there anywhere I could get the power supply fixed near there
