Inky Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 I've had my matrix and v1 xbox for ever now. but I am having a problem now. sometimes when I turn on my xbox I get teh 3x power on/off then frag. I look in the side and see my matrix is still lit green. usually if I lift up the xbox on the left side an inch or two and then let it drop I will boot up fine after that. so I figure my matrix isn't contacting the points solidly. I have realigned my chip and tightened and loosened the screw to see if it helps nothing helps.any suggestions? I heard someone hot glued thiers in but that sounds suspect to me. I'd just solder it if I knew how and had the tools available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vermillion Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 (edited) The 3x FRAG is usually an issue with d0. The only thing I can suggest is possibly cleaning the d0 poing and the connection of the Matrix Chip since it sounds like it's having issues staying in contact. I don't trust Matrix chips and their connection w/ d0 as it can be very difficult to align one. I'm putting one in for a friend of mine and I soldered the d0 from the chip to the backside d0 point of the motherboard and it works perfectly everytime. Unfortunately I stripped the screw to hold the chip in so I've gotta find another one tomorrow. Edited November 18, 2004 by Vermillion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
