My Girl Just Got Out of Surgery

Safi · September 28th, 2009, 11:32 PM

She didn't make it

Ok...Enough drama...I'm talking about my xbox lol. The MOSFET (The 2 big black squares) on the right shorted out

Here is a farther back view...The close up is taken of the front right side of the console

The donor

Piece I need extracted off donor...dime for comparison

Wired up

Connected

Sadly...still didn't work. So tomorrow I'm going to take off the old MOSFET and completely substitute in the new one and see if that will make it work.

If that doesn't work I'll have to replace the FET Drivers IC (small 8 pin SOIC chip on other side of board)

Dansby · September 28th, 2009, 11:34 PM

So...you got another xbox to replace one piece?

Fuckin nerd.

You have to remember...I have a LOT of xbox parts (and other electronics also), lying around....Here is a small amount of stuff in my closet. I have much more on my work bench haha

Lol yeah....I was hoping the ghetto fix would work just so i could get an idea without going through a lot of work. Guess I'll go ahead and completely replace it tomorrow and see how it turns out

If my xbox ever breaks I know where I'm going...

And to think, I can't even get mine to play on my tv.

haha.

that is interesting it looks like the processor is in the 775 socket format. an of course it wouldnt work it is intergrated in to the mother bored. but good fun for tring

Safi what do you do for a living? Because I want in

The 360 does not use the 775 socket. It uses a special 771 socket

Safi has to have all these spare electronic parts laying around for his bomb making. This is just his side hobby since he has them.

Notcho · September 29th, 2009, 12:27 AM

Fry's has tons of electronic components.... that is unless you are sure the one from the donor is good.

I would have taken the old one off in case it wasn't completely bad. Don't want to send incorrect voltage to something else downstream....

Every single MOSFET transistor I have had go out literally went up in smoke, leaving a burned spot on it. The majority of those were on PC motherboards. You would know it fried because the entire house smelled like roasting plastic....

I know for a fact the MOSFET on the donor is good. Only thing wrong with the donor is that it does not have a dvd drive in it (and i didn't get the cpu key before selling the drive so the mobo is pretty much useless). The only other thing that would go bad is the FET Driver IC...I'll find out if that is bad tomorrow when I install the new MOSFET completely. If thats bad I'll get it off the donor board also

Shhhh....

Notcho · September 29th, 2009, 12:39 AM

That's how all of my bad MOSFETs looked.

Yeah...Mine isn't that bad. Mine shorted out due to me. I was working with my multimeter trying to find a 5v source to pull for a fan and i accidently touched the right pin to the middle pin

That's how I powered the modchip on my old xbox.

Just make sure you didn't fry anything else by shorting that....

I've talked to a guy I know (basically the master of the internals of game consoles...He goes by RDC over on Xbox-scene) and he said the problem is most likely in either the MOSFET or the FET IC...So I'm changing both and seeing where that gets me

Notcho · September 29th, 2009, 02:07 AM

You can test the MOSFET...
