Robin Hoods Playground

Yeah I finally jtagged an xbox! WOO! Except a few days after I got it working and installed Freestyle dash, I could no longer see the visuals, I could only hear sound. I changed a/v cables, changed t.v.s and it is still not working. It's a xenon so maybe the gpu just finally kicked the bucket. Or maybe the contacts are all messed up, which I doubt. I was wondering if it was from flashing the nand or just the box getting old. Any response would be great

Try an xclamp, it wont hurt anything and if it is a gpu error it will likely be temporarily fixed.

My money is on a gpu error.

im with haggard on this
xclamp but
if that does fix it
i would not use it that way
i would send it to shootsteel Look Here and let him do a reflow on the gpu so you would have a lasting repair
if you do that make sure you let him know that you are from the playground

Thanks will the replies guys, i'll check it out. One of the cables is missing a few contacts. The other one, OEM, with an hd and sd setting is all weird. I tried it with my unmodded xbox and it gave me lines across the screen for hd and square dots for sd. So i'm gonna try to get a vga to xbox cable and I'll see if that works.

UPDATE:

Well at long last I had gotten my jtag to be viewed on screen. Turns out it was really the faulty av cables. The only thing was, was that the xbox was only displayed a few times. There were times where I could see the dashboard and times I could not. It's a xenon and had the x-clamp fix and was getting hot really fast especially with the dvd drive on top of the heatsink. I replaced the thermal paste with some arctic silver and re did the x-clamp fix. My xbox no longer powers on because there is a short somewhere on the board. Hopefully I didnt rip off a piece of the gpu or cpu while cleaning them. When I press the power button on the xbox the power supply light turns red and nothing is powered on. Is there anything that I might do to find the short, because I am pretty sure there is nothing wrong with my power brick? I really hope I dont have to get this thing re-balled as I've spent quite a bit of money on it already.
