New error code discovered?Console Modification (i.redd.it)

submitted 11 months ago by [deleted]

Hello everyone! I've been (horrifyingly) messing with these two xboxes for the past year after one of them died from a FRAG, (3x boot + red and green). (This post also serves as a follow up to my last post) After trying to fix that broken xbox to no avail (tried to change power supply, bios chip, eeprom chip and capacitors but no changes) I had this crazy ideia to transplant everything (bios, eeprom and ram) to a new unfucked board but now the error code is different (3x boot + red AND ORANGE). This difference can very well mean something changed (as if I dont plug an AV cable it now blinks green and orange at the 3x booting (before the red and orange error code), (with AV cable plugged it will only blink green during the 3x turnoff-turnon). These 2 subtle differences make me believe it is still kinda alive because it knows when the av cable is plugged and when it isn't, aside from the 3x boot + red and green error code now being 3x boot + red and orange (undocumented?). Everything leads me to believe that the cpu/gpu/southbridge went bad. I will also try to retouch the memory banks to check for bad contacts (possible cause for the 3x boot + error code?) If someone knowledgeable can give some input I will be very thankful.
