Xbox 360 boardscans and pictures

Nice re-flowed xenon final btw you missed to block out one of the stickers "71"

 

..........

 

Jeeze with a 96.5% tin, 3% silver and 0.5% copper content no wonder that solder is trash.

 

That´s a standard Mixture for ROHS-lead-free-Solder.

 

Crap! Crap I say!

Put the lead back in my solder and find a better way of recycling PCBs than shipping them to china to be burnt in a huge pit for a few ounces of gold.

 

I really thought there would've been more interesting things posted here by now..

You guys really need to step up your collections lol. I'm mainly just seeing the mainstream crap that circulates to anyone and everyone.

;P

 

Mainstream crap? Then please feel be free and post a pic of a Xbox 3 Alpha and YOUR Collection. ;-)

Thanks.

 

Yes, mainstream crap as in, all the kits posted here I sell on a daily basis to anyone who asks for them lol. And there's tons of other people like me that help me sell them, so everyone has them.

And sure, maybe I will, if I decide to open a couple of these things up.

 

Im sorry if we are not all rich and power full, as your self.

 

Doesn't take any of that. It takes people skills. Period.

 

We all know´s this Xenon. No Prob.

Sounds good.

....

 

I'm not putting myself on a pedastal.. I just thought given all the interesting things I've seen in the past pop up around here for other platforms, I thought atleast one person would have something interesting to show for 360.. That's all.

EDIT: Someone asked me to post this for them as they don't have privileges to post here:

Same thing as the one I posted before, just a better picture for others to see.

 

not trying to bash you, it's just you know the right things/people/etc.

O nice blue motherboard, Btw.

 

That´s it, a kind of users have these "interesting" things, but they don´t show it.

And why? A kind of "special People" of a big Software company (Mic*o*ft) are looking for these things and hunting this people.

Xbox 360 Dev/Test etc- Kits are only for lend, not for sale etc. That´s the fact or the "Problem"...

Yeah nice, but not very special.

 

Microsoft isn't hunting down anything really.. There's very little they'd hunt down.. People should feel more secure than they are really..

They're a more noble company than most people would give them credit for.

 

I miss seing your dev porn, post more

 

More pics

Hey all just dug through my hdd and found some old pics of kits ive had in the past,

Xenon Finals 011's

Random Big feet, Stress console was a mid 2005 console about August or September if i remember right.


Hole in the side and chassis, someone told me it was todo with changing the clock speed but I don't know if they were correct. console age xx.05.06 from memory. it was a stress kit


Zephyrs

Early zephyr x810385-004 final stress kit, with prototype case and prototype 2nd gen heatsink, hana chip writing is wrong way up compared to retail








Zephyr Prototype x806774-006

Kit had a SMC light, Hana chip writing is wrong way up, has either a xenon cpu or a prototype one as this console does not have hash checks on the kv unlike a zephyr final kit, there are very little changes in mobo design between this and a final only major one i can see is near the Southbridge.





Will add more pictures when i get some more kits

 

Stress Hdmi kit? Pretty sweet. Ask pikkon he was the last one I ever saw to own a console with a hole that exposes that one chip like that.

 

Actually, alot of Xenon Stress Test Kits like his have those windows cut out.

 

HDMI was planned at 2005 ?
