LPC
power/ground
(v1.4
- v1.5)
There's
no visual
method
to distinguish
a v1.5
from
a v1.4.
Xbox
v1.5
has
power
and
ground
disconnected
from
LPC.
So you
will
have
to measure
if pin
2 (ground)
on the
LPC-bus
is connected
to the
ground
plane
(a screw,
for
example)
or not
Use
a multimeter
to check
if pin2
(red
point
on images)
is connected
with
ground
(screw
plate
for
example).
If you
prefer
you
can
also
measure
3.3v
(LPC
pin
9) (xbox
must
be ON)
...
it's
dead
on a
v1.5.
*NOTE*
Don't
just
assume
you
have
a v1.5
because
you
have
a new
Xbox.
There
are
very
few
v1.5
xboxes
(we
don't
have
exact
data
about
this
- but
probably
only
produced
on a
few
production
lines
in August
2003
(as
testrun,
production
fault,
...
we don't
know).
As far
as we
know
MS produced
the
v1.4
again
on all
lines
after
that.
Do the
test
above
to make
sure
wich
version
you
have.
You
most
probably
have
a v1.4!
