Marty Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 (edited) I have a Philips drive that's faulty. I've tested it across 4 separate XBOX's (two 1.6's a 1.0 and a 1.2) and I get an identical error amongst all of them. Any XBOX I connect it to (each with it's own 80 pin cable, as well as stock IDE cable) refuses to boot....it just freezes on the logo. Also, I'm using the yellow power cable that's on each individual unit. Can anyone tell me some places to start looking on the Philips drive? Fuses? Resistors...capacitors...with my multi meter? A schematic for the PCB would be nice, or a diagram. Thanks. Edited August 18, 2023 by Marty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marty Posted August 26, 2023 Author Share Posted August 26, 2023 I found a PDF online that said to look for two fuses marked MP200 on the pcb.... 4. If your original Xbox DVD drive is dead, completely, no life at all, this may help you. There are 2 small fuses on the drive PCB on the opposite side to the BA chips (look elsewhere to see how to get to them) they are brown rectangles with the markings "MP200" on them. If either of these is open circuit (blown) replace it with a 200mA fuse. I think I broke mine whilst unplugging the yellow wired connector before the Xbox had properly switched off!!! My drive is a Philips, but these fuses marked MP200 are not on the pcb...and the guide doesn't specify which model they're referring to.
