Thanks Until I get a good few hours of testing to see if its all stable, id say this project is done and videos will soon follow testing

I think it was just a heat issue in the end, the heatsink was improperly installed a few years ago by myself and was reading cool though the chip wasnt Anyway now I am stealing power for my sunon 12v fan from the DVD drive After reading up a bit online about resistors and multimeters I am...

So turns out the LEDs are blinking orange, not green (Im colorblind) This leads me to believe it could be a solder splash, but seeing as the problem only happens sometimes could this be it? Or possibly a broken trace, but wouldnt it also reset itself sooner And my third thought it, maybe its...

Cut them in half, one by one, and soldered in the new wire. Then wrapped them in electrical tape at the solder points I just desoldered the caps, added wires about an inch long, and did it that way Im not sure what caps I need right now, seeing as I have no possible idea what the problem is, I...

This sat dormant for a long time before I picked it up again. As far as I can tell it ran fine with the disk drive, but it has also played that long under other circumstances. It will also let me run it with the adapter no problem.

Emulators have tendency to freeze, but other apps run fine. I have tried games other then halo, and they do the same

Dang I just came back to edit my post. What I should also mentions is I had it turned on for about an hour installing 2 new games and making sure it ran. During this process everything was fine. Only when I play the games now does this problem occur. And the original HDD is long gone

Used thicker wire, and that problem is all well and settled. I also re shielded the wires in the box using a thick layer of aluminum foil I then played for 15 minutes and nothing bad happened (co-op Halo). Then I try again and the thing does the turn off randomly thing. (Singleplayer) I switch...

Problem not solved... I finished the project and brought it to a friends. The second player port wasnt work, but no big deal. So we start playing co-op halo and the thing bugs out again like it originally did. So we reset it, and smoke comes out. The black line in the controller ports burned...

At the time being I was able to get much further into play time then I normally could so I assume the problem is solved Thanks for the help, you saved me tons of headache

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KLhZE7AZuIs -The wire is a thicker gauge then the blue one used for the 5VSB line -Its an original xbox -Revision I am unsure of, and the site that I have past checked it on currently wont load for me On a side note, when I change to an untouched controller port...

So I have an xbox that I have softmodded. I have been planning on cramming it into a ATX computer case so its super tiny. For a long while it has been working and been played, with no problems whatsoever. Today after rewiring 3 caps (they are all correctly rewired), extending a controller port...
