Hellp everyone. As always when I dont know a way out from an xbox issue I turn to theisozone.
This is now my second attempt at the OG xbox 128mb Ram upgrade.
The first one failed when I accidentally burned off one of the legs on the motherboard, I never got into the dash or anything, I was reflowing all the legs on the ram chips for several times when IT HAPPENED. It fragged all the way , then I removed all the ram chips and now the xbox has no video, anyone any ideas how yo fix that?
Now my second attempt, this time I salvaged 4 ram chips off of a broken xbox 1.6 with a heat gun, they came off easy and the legs looked clean.
I didnt have any trouble installing them, I use a cheap 20 euro soldering iron from amazon which should get the job done with the tip that looks like a circle that was sliced
If you understand.
So all the ram chips installed and again.. FRAGs, red and yellow light. Then after going over them like 5 times, meaning reflowing with the soldering rion all the 400 pins which did not help at all I reflowed the chips with the heat gun then it booted to my suprise. The joy did not last long though, it froze all the damn time and on the next boot it shows me weird graphical glitches upon boot.. So i tried to do the ram upgrade for 6h straight a second time and still could not do it. I feel like the most retarded person in the earth. WTH am I missing, what am I doing wrong? Can you give me any meaningful tips?
Despair, Despair..
