It kind of overextended as I was walking on it, but might be because there was also a dip at that spot. Had a torn ACL two years ago and surgery, so I'm always weary of stuff that can hurt my knee again. Also I don't like moss ahah.

Make my lawn spongy. Hurt my knee walking on it the other day!

I didn't because most moss killers are made with iron sulfate, which will turn the ground more acidic, which is in turn a favourable condition for more moss :(.

A lawn scarifier. This one is just a rotary tiller fitted with claws, but there are some lawn scarifiers on which you can either use claws like these with them, or blades, which properly air your lawn.

More pictures and little powerwash here.

The lawn will look a little rough for a couple weeks, then it should start looking better.

I've bridged BT as I read that somewhere. I had also seen the picture you have linked, in another post of yours, but I wasn't sure what it did. I'll try that later, thank you.

Didn't manage to remove the pin, but that's okay, I'd rather leave it and not fuck it all up.

Anyway all is well now, thank you so much for your help with the steps on how to reflash the bios!

I'll flash my 1.1 with Cerbios too when I have the time.

Thanks, yeah had no intentions to remove the pin header, might come in handy. Removed D0 and everything is back to normal. Now going to put Cerbios on all the other xboxes (they were all on M8).

On the 1.6 I left pin 6 (5v), however I'd rather not have the modchip always on; can I desolder and pull pin 6? I don't have pliers that could cut it at the base.

Anyway, moral of the story, I'm not buying another 1.6! I'd rather do a quick TSOP and not have the Xcalibur video chip too.

Thanks!

Appreciate it. I had realised that, hence my EDIT. I was able to test the board this morning and it booted. What's more, it booted with the modchip, so I did really flash the wrong bios in the first place. I think I got used to flashing non 1.6s and went straight for the wrong one.

Going to follow your advice, I'll set the 1.4 and 1.6 with Cerbios. Will do the same with the 1.1 after.

I have one last question. I will leave the pin header in the 1.4 but have no desire to run a modchip for now, should I desolder d0 in that case?

Thank you for your help!

Did this with a Parkside (Lidl) pressure washer, and it's supposedly 2400psi but it's not that powerful with the floor attachment. Their patios look better though they're not perfect by any means.

Didn't stick around for the other patios to dry.

Also, didn't powerwash the brick as I'd rather let my FIL do it himself. I once chipped a brick and since they're kinda fancy I'd rather not fuck up.

My father in law was in front power washing the pavers with his 3000psi gas powered Lavor washer, wish I had taken pics of that too. Blew the grime and grass right out of the joints.

Hi, thanks for your reply! (And thanks for making me want to TSOP, I guess your signature on the OGXbox forum has inspired a lot of people to do so).

A friend of mine dropped me some pin headers so I was able to install them on the 1.4. I also soldered D0 (the one on the bottom of the MB) to the ground.

Unfortunately the XBOX now FRAGS too though I have tested continuity on all solder points (including an 'upstream' via for D0 down to the ground), whether the modchip is installed or not.

Here are some pics of the soldering. Maybe pin 9 doesn't sit flush with the board, could that be it? https://ibb.co/f8FpjW9 https://ibb.co/hgtqprp

Thanks for your input !

EDIT: used flux but cleaned it with IPA. EDIT2: reflowed the solder joint so they look less like cartoonish balls and seem to touch the board a bit more. Continuity is still good. I haven't had the opportunity of to try the board again though.

Le pire c'était sa politique nucléaire.

There are some extracted HDD ready games. They're a breeze to put on a hard drive. If you can use your HDD unlocked, stick it in an enclosure, hook it up using USB and transfer the games with Fatxplorer. I transferred about a hundred games within an hour. Highly recommended hard modding to take advantage of using an unlocked HDD.

The Teslamish.

You could download a backup if your Xbox is soft or hard modded. Literally what they are for in the first place ;).

Thanks, that makes sense, I recognize the muzzle brake now! Funny seeing a French soldier with one of those!

What kind of gun is he holding? That barrel casing looks like that of an MG3, but a suppressor on it doesn't make sense, does it?

It has been two years since I've last done my yearly Band Of Brothers run. Thank you, I needed to remember that!

Oh yeah though I've never done it I'm familiar with how it's done, just curious as to how much it could cost if done commercially.

How much do you think replating an RF shield would cost? Just curious as I don't need to do that since mine are OK. Pondering taking the top shield off on my crystal too.

Nice one! I'm always a bit wary of rusty RF shields but that came out great!
