I'm having an issue where the Xbox will boot retail discs, but it won't load the dashboard or burned discs. I "rebuilt" the LPC 3 times, installed the chip in another 1.6 (they are both 1.6) and it's working. Everything looks good to me, no cold joints. It has a solid yellow light after the splash screen. I can't for the life of me find a single answer to what solid yellow/orange means on Google. Didn't really want to make this thread, but I'm lost but I don't think it's an install issue, I used zer0's guide, nothing is bridged, continuity checked out fine, orientation of chip is correct. It was previously softmodded and booted my Hexen and backup game just fine so don't think it's a media issue.
DO is grounded on the screw plate, tried on the chip with no difference. Hard drive is very noisy and clunking, not sure if all the times I unplugged it finally crapped out, the splash screen is stored in the BIOS chip I think? I want to state this DID work the other day, I tried it again today and it will not boot the dashboard or backup discs.
TL;DR version
Worked fine first try other day
Got it back out today to play it
Never worked again, solid yellow light, no dashboard or backups booting
Reinstalled a few times
Still dead
Update: Desoldered header, cleaned area with alcohol and brush, resoldered header, rewired LPC, still getting solid yellow light. No traces cut, no pads lifted.
