Hello! I tried to install a qoob pro chip into my version A gamecube. after the install, I tried to flash the bios, but it won't work. I adjusted the POT as well, to around 205 ohms. Here is a list of issues: - qoob pro status LED is not coming on - qoob pro chip cannot connect - the gamecube turns on, but the disk is not spinning - nothing shows up on screen. - the fan turns on. - none of the solder points for A, B, C, D, E, or F are touching other contact points. - I may have burned the leads or part of the chip for the connections to E and F. - I might have connected the 5V pin to the nearby FIL3 with solder. please share your opinion of what might have happened. Thanks. Dre05 - I may have
Hellow again! I had the idea of removing the qoob pro chip, and then booted the GC itself. The cube loads, though I lost my bios settings such as time. I am wondering if the chip itself is damaged, but i need an expert opinion for insight. Dre05
I did some more double checks. I found that the gamecube itself runs fine if I disconnect the Qoob from it. Also, the status lite on the Qoob comes on green. The DVD won't spin with the Qoob connected though. I insulated the qoob and the wires under the heatsink. I think my problem is one of two things: 1) i think the qoob chip itself is faulty because it won't connect to my pc. I tried flashing it after, both with the GC power off and with it on. no luck. I have another question: Does the Qoob already come with a bios BEFORE you flash it? Will it not work if it DOESN"T come with a bios on it already? 2) if the qoob chip is not faulty, and there is a bios already, then I may have shorted the purple wire. I will check this. i may hav 2 resolder it. someone plz give me some feedback on this. thanks!
