RGH Help

[MikeTheKnight2016]

you just have to pop off the grills, and the left and right part of the system are tabbed together. you do need a torx 8 or 10 forgot which to open up the screws (only take out the long ones). you don't have to remove the rf board, which is another screw gauge iirc. it's been years since I've opened a phat, so this is based on memory.

I've got it to this....can I just remove the T screws on the top to see what i need?

 

[MikeTheKnight2016]

yeah, something to get into those holes. they make plastic devices for that and slims, because slims are similar.

shoot they were so wiggly all it took was a small flat head screw driver

yes a torx for that giant shield. I forgot if it's a t-8 or 10. that uses one and the rf board uses the other.

It's a T10 for the sheild...

Do I need to remove the RF Board?

 

[godreborn]

no, you only need to take out the long screws iirc, so look at a diagram.

i had to remove the wifi card, the shield was stuck under it

I'm down to the cd drive and fan....what do I do to get to what I need to see?

 

[godreborn]

you may have to remove the dvd drive, but try turning on the power and see if see anything that's flashing red or whatever you could see without opening it.

 

[MikeTheKnight2016]

The solid red light and the flashing green light are on a board that says CR4 on it and has wires soldered to the mobo

Currently it's only hdmi cable and power supply connected (had to remove cd drive in order to get this image.

I don't know much about rgh, only jtag, as I've never had a need for an rgh. @brickmii82 or @DinohScene should be able to help or understand what that means. I assume it's glitching and failing.

 

[MikeTheKnight2016]

Failing...meaning hardware related?

 

[godreborn]

no, a failed glitch. maybe leave it on for a while, and see if anything happens.

interesting...does it keep trying until it succeeds or looses power?

Do I need to connect Flash drive or hard drive to it?

 

[godreborn]

most likely, yes. it could be a shitty install, where it takes forever.

Not sure, but i think it looks a bit messy (soldering job)..

FML - is a re-solder an option? (is that even a thing)

 

[brickmii82]

Ugh... A CR4. A pain in the ass closed source TX chip from 2014. TX got taken down by the feds along with all of their 360 info. Lemme see if I can find some documentation. Is that a Corona board? Those flip switches need to be in the right position depending on the board, and that capacitor on the top may or may not be needed. These things suck imo.

Maybe, if the glitch board itself is not faulty..

 

[MikeTheKnight2016]

UGH the other thing i noticed is that my tv auto-powers off after 15 minutes of no signal, so even if i try to leave the xbox on...after 15 minutes if it doesn't glitch tv will shut down

my tv does the same, but it's like one to two minutes.

how would i tell what the board is?

Double FML - almost certainly sounds like I just need to purchase a new one then
