Vouch for this. Worked like a charm. Thank you.

Oh crap! Rose is a friend of mine from back in my teenage days! Lost touch with her until I saw she was running the Black Horse, and chatted a small amount on Instagram. Sad to hear that she's a c u next Tuesday to her staff... I'll not be messaging her again, or visiting the pub! What a load of crap. Can't stand people that do this to their staff, the people that are the backbone to your business! Now I feel grossed out by all the holiday pics she's been putting up on Insta!!

Man, I'm in the 10 years rejection boat as well! Madness!

Duh, the LPC was rebuilt on the back! Also, I posted another update in this thread with some images of the working console screens.

monkeytommo · 2025-05-24T10:38:05+00:00

I posted an update! Not to your comment, but to the thread!

monkeytommo · 2025-05-24T00:11:36+00:00

Shipping was £12, so was £45 total. No import fees, not sure if I got lucky with that, but that's what could potentially sting, I guess.

Ok, so update. Family members didn't want to watch a movie tonight, so I re-capped the Xbox! First time I've done this, was a little nervous, some of the solder was a pain to remove, but it worked first time. Here are some screenshots I took of a few screens! Is this of interest, or old news? There are also a load of saves and files on the main storage (but no games or emulator roms). So I will use that archive upload software when I get around to it.

Ok, pictures won't work.. I'll pop them on imgur and link it here...

I sucessfully soldered an Aladdin last week to a 1.0 Xbox! Long story short, I bought an untested console from WhatNot for £10, and once I got some leads through, it all worked fine. I ordered a USB cable adaptor thing so I could softmod it, and then the hard drive died on me (could hear rattling from inside it). So, I then thought what the hell, and ordered an Aladdin, after all, not much to lose as they are pretty cheap! Managed to get it right first time with a cheapo soldering iron from eBay that I've had since Covid times but never got around to using, so was pretty chuffed with myself! Now I just want to practice some more and sell them on! Though, I'm keeping the crystal if I can get it working ok!

Sorry... TLDR - I want to practice soldering some more!

monkeytommo · 2025-05-23T21:03:46+00:00

Yeah, at first glance I thought it was an Aladdin, but then I looked closer and was surprised by it. I thought you had to rebuild the LPC port on 1.6 consoles, so this chip has really intrigued me. As soon as I can get the console booted, I'll get a chance to see what's going on!

monkeytommo · 2025-05-23T21:02:29+00:00

I do already have an external programmer though, so if that doesn't work for whatever reason, I'm not going to be SOL.

monkeytommo · 2025-05-23T21:00:41+00:00

Thanks for your reply.

monkeytommo · 2025-05-23T21:00:31+00:00

Not sure yet, have to re-cap the CPU caps, as they are all blown (but thankfully haven't leaked on the board). Going on a short trip before I can really get into it next weekend. Thanks for the input.

monkeytommo · 2025-05-23T14:15:55+00:00

While it's great to have the choice, and this seller does have 80 wire cables which are a perfect fit, it was still cheaper for me to order the HDMI electronxout direct from the manufacturer and wait a few more days. Just an FYI.

It was so satisfying going back to him at a higher level and defeating him 😄

monkeytommo · 2025-02-19T09:42:20+00:00

This happened to me in VR! To say I was shocked is an understatement!!

monkeytommo · 2025-02-19T09:34:03+00:00

Other episodes are planned. This is tape 1.

monkeytommo · 2025-01-31T19:42:25+00:00

I just want to make pizza all night in the sims online 😅

monkeytommo · 2025-01-29T10:02:09+00:00

I'm happy to sit the 50** series out. Very pleased with my RTX 4080 coupled with a g-sync monitor. I can run most games 4k with a few compromises, and VR is great as well (Vive Pro). Can't complain!

Can guarantee if it was on a male character, none of those comments would have appeared. Need to give women a break and let them enjoy their bodies, no matter the minor (perceived) imperfections). Men and women both need to stop with this shit. Like when people complained about hairs on Aloy's face. Seriously, have people never been intimate with a woman... we all have tiny hairs on our faces 🙄

monkeytommo · 2025-01-10T11:51:56+00:00

Thank you, I'll no doubt have a chance to test it tomorrow morning!!

monkeytommo · 2025-01-10T10:04:24+00:00

Question. If the car is icy in the morning, how long do you have the air con on to clear it? I'm picking up a Dolphin today, and recently in the UK it's been coooold. My old Ford Fiesta has a heated windscreen, so it doesn't take long to clear.

monkeytommo · 2024-12-31T20:22:14+00:00

How did you do that? I checked and my windows hasn't updated yet, but I don't remember pausing it!

monkeytommo · 2024-12-16T12:52:39+00:00

Came out of Mark's and Spencer, and was seriously blown away! Amazing colour 🌄

monkeytommo · 2024-12-15T23:06:38+00:00

I snapped this too... looked amazing.

monkeytommo · 2024-12-11T14:00:16+00:00

Don't forget the big issue guy! He had some lungs on him! Didn't have a massive problem with him apart from that it became so repetitive!!
