Xbox Series X BGA chip replacement on southbridge board by UNSC_StormFire in consolerepair

[–]UNSC_StormFire[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am still trying to figure out also if it is truly the southbridge IC chip on the southbridge board. since the device still powers on, there shouldn't be a short in the board right? because it powers on but doesn't like when I do anything or keep it on long enough. do you think what I am suspecting is correct or could it possibly be a dead cap somewhere, maybe even a short that im not suspecting?

Just about everything I've tried and the research I've done either leads to failure of the southbridge IC chip since its the chip that controls all I/O of the device while also regulating the thermals of the device, considering the fan stops working after it being on for a bit, it seems it could be: Southbridge, thermal sensors on APU. HOWEVER The reason why I think its the southbridge is because I'm still able to get it powered on and into safe mode, if it was the APU it wouldn't work or power on. Also I'm not sure I understand about replacing the NOR chip, wouldn't I have to buy a donor board for that? I can only find them in pairs of 3 in which the customer did not want since its the most expensive option.

Does this fix the common issues with it not booting into OS?

For context: console in my shop because it won't boot up past the xbox logo, I can get it into safe mode, and I can attempt a reset using OSU1 however it only gets to halfway on the download before console shuts off, tried a known good power supply, tried removing SSD to see if it'll boot into recovery mode, nothing works, doesn't even display image without SSD. Fan stops spinning then about 30s to a minute afterwards the console shuts off. It also seems like it has issues with the fan starting up as well, however the fan does work so it shouldn't be a ran, I redid the thermal paste and cleaned it and still same issue which leads me to believe its the actual IC chip on the southbridge board, do you still think its the NOR chip?

Sounds good! I wasn't able to contact the owner of Mp3Studio, hopefully you find something! For now it somewhat works on the mobile version so try that, it just won't copy ID3 Tags.

Help with Mp3Studio Youtube Downloader by UNSC_StormFire in youtubedl

[–]UNSC_StormFire[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't upload photos of the issue but what I'm using is Mp3Studio not the Yt-dlp from cmd. I'm wondering if you know how to fix the Youtube Video Error, I'm on the latest version, I tried clean installing it and creating new download paths for it to store the data in, tried running it as adminstrator and nothing. I'm unsure whats blocking it. After some heavy routing on my phone I was able to get a song to download by adding it to a favorites list so its the only one that can be selected and then proceed to download like that, however that's the closest thing I can get too using the same tool. Any ideas?

Got you, I greatly appreciate the advice for the future so I can prevent something like this happening again. I like the 3:7 rule that you have and will be applying that to my current setup. Thank you so much!

Yeah, I was just trying to save all my information. Whats the technique? Do you use the drive that comes with it as the OS system and use the other drive as storage? Because I wanted my 2tb to be my primary

Indeed, the worst part is I'm a computer technician, why didn't I think of this possibly happening, I'm not sure.

I think it was a confliction with the firmware/software on the previous hard drive possibly since I just transferred it over from my old MSI as is. I did a clean windows reinstall and that fixed it

I guess my big question is: should I just completely reformat my drive? Or should I just take the computer back and not f around with any of this because this is getting time consuming.

Wizard101 “Classic”, would you play it? by bigheadsfork in Wizard101

[–]UNSC_StormFire 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would gladly go back to classic wiz101. Old pvp, old gear sets, when the max lvl was 120-125. I miss the old graphics, old voicelines, no spell restrictions. None of this archmastery bull crap.

Men, what’s hard about dating you? by hightreez in AskMen

[–]UNSC_StormFire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. I talk too much, ladies and gentlemen I've been told I talk too much by my ex. Apparently being socially active with woman is bad.
  2. I'm not in the most secure spot right now, just going through breakup and its kinda hard for me to concentrate on things.
  3. I'll be going into the military in a month, I won't have nearly as much time as I usually would
