HELP! I successfully modded my xbox with the xecuter 3ce w/ xaptr, so I decided to go ahead and install it on my sister's box. So after I wired everything up, I went ahead and plugged the power cable in, not realizing it automatically booted up (without hitting the power button). 5 seconds later, a short stream of smoke came from the bottom front, where the eject button is located, and I quickly hit power, but nothing happened, so I pulled the plug. Long story short I plugged the red reset/eject cable into the wrong port on the chip! Once I changed it to the correct port, everything worked fine except for the eject button. It has NO power at all, yet the POWER button works fine. My question is, what did I burn out? Is it the power supply or the motherboard? I really don't want to buy another box for a dumb mistake! Any answers/suggestions would be GREATLY appreaciated. THANKS!! Art
I forgot to mention, I actually pulled all the mod junk back out to try and see if it would eject in normal mode, but still no response from the button. Thanks again!
What country did you buy your Xbox console from and what country are you using it in currently? Because the volts matter which could be one reason why it fried it. It happened to me once, I live in China which uses 220V-240V, I am from Australia, but I bought my Gamecube in the US because it's much cheaper and I just modded that in China, it was fine and all, but a few months later, I plugged my Gamecube in another room and forgot the transformer (voltage converter) and BOOM! Buh bye Gamecube! lol. Lucky I got it fixed though, it works fine again now.
I'm from the US, and our power puts out 110. Yeah I just can't figure out what part I burned out. I know its either the power supply or motherboard. I know I could get both on ebay for pretty cheap, but I would like to know first.
