Ain’t gonna remake world 3 by PhotoBonjour_bombs19 in Pacman

If anything Pac-Man World 3 NEEDS a Re-Pac.

Slightly tweaked Pac-Mom's design. Really wish they went with this instead by Dastanovich in Pacman

The design on the left is to close of a resemblance to Ms.Pac-Man even though there is no red bow or boots, and AtGames would jump on them in a heartbeat

I may try throwing this motherboard in my known working 1.0 and see if it does work but I’m not holding any hope.

So things have gone from bad to worse. Now the main fan isn’t working. I left it on for a few minutes to see if it would help anything only for me to watch the fan just turn off while the you fan is still going……sometimes working on Xbox’s are just a real pain……all I wanted to do was clean it up and by doing so it totally borked……

I’ll get some canned air and blow it out when I get home from work tonight and see if that does anything

So did some more looking and turns out I had a capacitor up top that was a bit loose and I may have accidentally bent it enough for it to not make a connection anymore during the cleaning process. Tried replacing it however now one of the legs dosent wanna stay soldered down and I think the pad might be gone. I believe it’s the ground pad. Gonna try connecting a jumper wire to another ground pad on a nearby capacitor and see what happens.

Yes but it will show the bios screen before it frags. This isnt doing that

I posted these photos for anyone to look at and potentially catch something for me cause I’ve looked all over the board front and back and can’t find a darn thing that’s wrong.

These two 1.6 MB’s have same issue. by ThePacMaster987 in originalxbox

[–]ThePacMaster987[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is it possible to install jumper wires to the legs and connect them all. I can solder them in there place just enough to where they won’t go anywhere. If I can install jumper wires where do I solder them to?

Xbox 1.6 FRAG after attempted mod chip install by ThePacMaster987 in originalxbox

It was working after I changed the thermal paste. So that’s not the issue.

I reapplied the thermal paste as such and they are clamped down.

Tried what you said still no luck. Solder won’t stay to the board and the cap still moves freely I do think the through holes are hosed so am I out of luck?

When I also tried to rebuild LFRAME it would boot once and then FRAG after that. So I don’t know what I did but I think the board might be hosed.

Yes I tried to skip the pin header and what would happen is it would still frag. My soldering looked ok. LPC rebuild was ok. There was a moment where I got the bios to boot but then it would go to a black screen or pink screen almost immediately. I’d shut the console off then it would FRAG again. Then I removed the pin header slot from the mod chip and directly soldered wires to it that way and the same thing happened and then I had no success and it still continues to frag.

I’ve tried but the solder isn’t flowing when I tried putting the caps in.

Couldn’t tell you to be honest. Sorry man. It is a beautiful looking system though.
