yeah bad CRC on the SS is what I meant for those who need it less technical hehe

gigabite

^^haha you think that is challenging for me...pff as if...Xbox 1 top D0 is challenging with "30 Guage" (2mm insulated) thick wire - smd components with a $13 soldering iron and a 3.0mm tip is tricky lol

gigabite

No it has never been done, so basically your LED is going to blink when you get activity on the SATA port ...now you will need to solder your LED to a power source (whatever the LED might be...such as 3.3v, solder it to a 5v power source with a 100ohm resistor) then connect the negative side of it, to a DATA pin of the SATA connector connecting to the dvd drive motherboard, you can solder on the pin its self or the bottom of the connector...

this is for if you want your LED to blink when you transmit data:

and this is if you want your LED to blink when you receive data:

try that, and let me know how you go - anyone else wanting to try it...it will work on any drive (that's from my head but logically it should work...unless of course you get to much data being received or transmitted...then your LED might just stay on)

gigabite

there are many reasons you can get banned......regardless of what firmware you have

Bad CRC - Check your back-ups with Kreon Checker
Not Stealthed Properly - Check your back-ups with XDVDMULLETER
Playing scene releases
Playing releases of games before there official launch date
Playing different region of game than you wouldn't be able to buy in your country
Doing something bad on XBL (cheating, calling names, whatever you get the point)

gigabite

yeap yeap yeap I know, problem is last time I looked for breadboard/vero board/pcb/whatever you want to call it - no shops had it in stock...i'm still searching and if I come across some PCB then i'll buy it (also thanks for the pics caster cause I wanted one the exact same size...and you have showed me the bottom joined up )

gigabite

yes you are right there, there shouldn't be any gap - reset the heatsink and while your there, may as well do the CPU and GPU with AS5...

gigabite

no you i'm ME...and i'll help you do the whole thing, or whatever

gigabite

that's what I was worried about...anyway...i'm just waiting on what to do now, robinsod suggested de-bugging...I think i'm going to try go back to the shops again or search other shops and get some PCB (as robinsod told me the quad comparters most likely were not damaged) - see i'm always trying !!

gigabite

Ok so I tried...and ah failed, I figured I would...I didn't really care - must have wired something incorrectly cause when I was de-soldering everything I noticed the hot glue I put on the end of the quad comparters was melted - so obviously it got really hot ha..oh well no harm done, everything working A ok - so I guess this project is back to the halted stage until robinsod decides what's going on (before you judge my skill, cardboard is $#!t...PCB is alot better - rember that)

gigabite

ahh ok cool, so I don't have to worry about if I got the caps the wrong way...good - i'm sure everything is correct. XD !!! Seriously this camera is really really bad, you can take 5 shots before you need to put in fresh batteries...and no I wasn't zoomed in, or standing to close, or had the flash on (1 of the pics I did but by mistake) and I didn't shake the camera...it's just crap...full stop...anyway...as for interference and working...it's actually quite neat underneath a couple of long wires...most of the stuff that had to be joined is joined vis the actual (for example) resistors legs - still a really crap idea to use cardboard pfff...if I find some PCB at the shop (even after I finish with what I need) i'll transfer it over - anyway...i'm off to start...to TRY [hoping it works] see if I can get my CPU key

gigabite

Game ON !! - [card] board built - ok now I am 99% sure it is all correct...now if someone with good eyes could check over it i'd appreciate it...really sorry for the picture quality...you probably can't see, but on each quad comparter there is 1 pin wich is un-used (this is correct ?)...pictures 56K USER WARNING














now one more thing I wanted to confirm is (I can't rember from school) - you can tell the negative on the capacitors by looking on it..it will have a little feint line and a little mark in pencil on one side yeah ?...that marked side is negative mhmm (or is there no polarity on these caps ?)

OH and I know my comparters AND diode are around the right way - and for those of you who looked at my red dotted pic, I know my markings were wrong with the capacitor numbers were backwards

gigabite - o one more thing...the wire colors mean nothing, those were the wires that came into my hand at the time

ahh cheers for that mate, so to anyone out there that's a cheapo - you can modify your technically now "old" PSU to work on a technically "new" motherboard

gigabite

^^ take it from me, it's not worth the money for you to experiment

gigabite

interesting...im sure that the motherboard is actually getting the same v's as the other psu on the same pins...i.e you could modify the end on the psu...then again, maybe not cause that's why they added the plastic bit so you couldn't mix old and new psu's up so you wouldn't kill something if you plugged an "old" psu into a "new" motherboard (new being...with this "new" connector)...

gigabite

oh yeah might be something different then, i'm not sure - as for security sticker entact...ever heard of the "hair dryer trick"  

gigabite

oops sorry, didn't read the image properly

gigabite

to expand on that further (wich I have said in other threads) - 2RL errors, commonly 0020 CAN be produced if you have not screwed in all the screws (minus the ROL board screws and the 6 long case screws)

gigabite

That's an old version of Schtrom - 3.4 is out...if there is no vid partition on the disk it is NOT stealth therfore will NOT boot on iXtreme firmware

gigabite

ya and they mention scene releases as there own back-ups

gigabite

Try unplugging all your devices...(not PCI cards...hard dives etc) and try again
