Post your Xbox problemsOk, I know people usually post single things, and it gets kinda annoying keeping up with all the single issues.
So... Post your xbox problems here and see if there is someone that can help you. Hell I love to fix busted Xboxes so I will help the best I can
Here is some helpful links to you people who know what you are doing if you want to replace certain parts to your Xbox

XPS Mods (Cases mostly, Temporarily closed)
Llamma's Xbox repair tutorials
And lets not forget everything on the tutorials of Xbox-Scene

Well I don't really care since the 360 is like five minutes away but...
In Halo2 my xbox randomly fails to load maps every once in awhile.
I talked to xbox's support guy (a.k.a. Omar in India) and he really didn't help.
Any ideas?
And again, I'm not buying new parts or any crap like that.
And I know the 360 is just around the corner. hever there are people (like me) who will still keep the Xbox or are not going to get the 360 right off the bat
The powersupply can be fixed... usually. if not you can get another one for pretty cheap, or find yourself the 8 dollar Xbox ATX to PC ATX converter and use a pc power supply
Remember if your xbox also gives an error code, here is a list of what they do (Taken from Llamma's site, posted by Superfro)
Description:
When you attempt to boot, a 'you need service' message comes up, and has a LED style number on the top left hand corner. Here is what they mean.
Disclaimer:
This information is a believed to be correct, should be as close as it gets;
Also:
Bootloader stuff you should never see, since if it fails kernel doesn't boot. (thus you see no message)
Code Who sets it - Description
0 - any - No error (duh)
1 - bootldr - Unknown exactly, something to do with checking the motherboard
2 - bootldr - Eeprom check failed
3 - bootldr - ??/not used
4 - bootldr - Ram check failed
5 - kernel - HDD not locked (retail bioses require the hd to be locked)
6 - kernel - Cannot unlock HDD
7 - kernel - HDD timeout
8 - kernel - No HDD found
9 - kernel - HDD parameters (PIO/DMA/or size {debug}, certain size minimum is required for debug)
10 - kernel - DVD timeout
11 - kernel - No DVD Found
12 - kernel - DVD parameters (PIO/DMA)
13 - kernel - Dashboard launch fail (due to missing/bad key, or anything else that would prevent it from running) and the dashboard didn't specify why it failed.
14 - dashboard - Error loading dashboard (dashboard generic error)
15 - - ??/not used
16 - dashboard - Other files to do with dashboard / dashboard settings (specific dashboard error)
17 - - ??/not used
18 - - ??/not used
19 - - ??/not used
20 - kernel - The dashboard was attempted to load and failed; It was a cold boot, and the dashboard didn't specify why it failed, but it (for some reason) needed to be noted that the dvd passed the challenge/response authentication
21 - anywhere - This error says that the machine was booted to display a error, basically someone told the machine to reboot (or launch a xbe) with this flag, and the error code just means its been rebooted by the flag
In closing:
21 was the highest number I could find, I don't think any thing is past that. And for the unknown ones, I couldn't find any reference to them at all, I don't believe they are used.

Tutorial written by : Superfro
look inside the port and make sure none of the connection pins are bent to the side
go HERE
Some of this stuff requires a really steady hand and basic hand-eye coordination, though
look at the drive "pot tweaking" section
I do a lot of of Xbox repair as well (i like it. Its fun) so give me a pm if interested at all
Does it give a number as well?
In reply to goatsrule, #20:
Have you tried a new av cord?
thats called a "christmas light syndrome"
Your Xbox cannot load the BIOS for some reason. There is a way to fix that.... it's either because of a broken trace or another reason........ A lot of these problems come from a bad modchip install (no talky about that here though! PM me)
have anyof you actually opened the xbox to peak inside?
ummm then dont use the cheap controller?
If you have the little ir eye you can use any programable remote with it not just the xbox one

BTW those little "Disk Doctors" CD repair tools (the one with the crank) work actually pretty well.
