    Take off heatsinks, clean the crappy thermal paste and put some Arctic Silver.

    My xbox doesn't have dvd and its open, prefer this way.
    Slim or phat?

    Both, I don't think thermal compound used in any of them would be better than AS5.

    I will try AS5 with slim, but it won't be massive improvement.
    Everywhere people notice similar temperatures (70 deg).
    50 deg. for phat jasper with dvd & cover it's quite good result in my opinion.

    your not going to be getting massive improvements,
    You must realize that the cpu and gpu are in one chip which means the chip is going to run hotter than the old xboxs.

    The cpu is a very hot running chip

    Not sure if the Team is relevant in identifying the motherboard type but my Trinity motherboard was made by the ADÚR Team and the Corona motherboard was made by FDOU, does anybody else have the Trinity Xbox with the original box?

    That's not a good way of checking. I've a Trinity that was made by FDOU Team. Unfortunatly the only way is to open the box and check xbox power ratings.

    When removing the vented sides from the case, be careful at the side with the eject button on the front and don't put your screwdriver down the hole leading to the faceplate because while there's no clip there, you could scratch the trace like I did and kill the eject button. Thankfully I wasn't too heavy handed though the horizonal mark was my screwdriver severing the trace (they're very thin).

    The repair was achieved by cleaning the area with some rubbing alcohol and using a pencil (yes, a graphite HB pencil) to join the two broken bits together across the gap.

    On my fourth successful reball I booted the Xbox 360 to find an exploitable blades dashboard, it's just a shame its not mine :(

    I flashed one of my Jtag's back to stock one day and remembered how nice the blades dashboard actually was. But saying that i like the new dashboard as well. I think it's down to the fact that change is always good. Like you get so used to the same dashboard and when you see a different one or an older one your like their actually quite cool.

    Oh I dunno about that :)

    While change can be a good thing, sometimes it can work the wrong way & make things worse. I actually liked that blade dash, the new one while it looks pretty, is just dull. Fsd sorted that out though :)

    I would ask customer what is he planning to do with the xbox and if he is willing to swap it for another, you could give him discount etc. I did that before, and most people were fine with that

    Almost brings a tear to the eye knowing that the customer will update it and ruin any chance of turning it into a jtag

    lol, after RGH going mainstream jtags devaulated big time.

    I reckon the Slim consoles with the HANA chip will become a rarity they've no need for that extra chip as we have seen in the corona motherboards, they will become the new falcons/jaspers .

    Still plenty exploitable Jaspers out there, which I heard are more reliable than slims. Might be rumour though.

    Can I transplant this onto another console....


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 33,733 ✭✭✭✭Myrddin


    It's been a while, but is that a PS2?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,582 ✭✭✭TouchingVirus


    It sure is, an NTSC PS2. I don't have a transformer for it, and there's a problem with the power supply board. I've tried to locate another one to no avail so I've got a PAL PS2 here. If I move the chip over it'll be region free again (and more fun than a softmod :p).

    Dunno about the more fun part, but you should find the soldering fine given your experience. PS2 mod-chip soldering can be very finnicky.

    Just don't solder like for like, there could be alt points used if your PAL console is a different board revision. Yadda yadda, you know that already though :)
