I just got the Qoob Pro chipset to implement in my gamecube for playing iso's etc. Now first read this before closing it or something like that. I really wish some url's to sites about implementing chips into consoles etc. so I can ask my question there. But also i do it here. I've soldered all of the wires correct, i connected all of the wires right, so i thought to check out if it worked. I pushed the on button for the 'Cube and voila it turned on. Next check was to see if it could play an original game, but wtf?! The DVD drive doesn't even spin/read now. When i switch the cables of the DVD drive to the original stands, it worked. But that wasn't supposed to be the meaning since it needs to be connected to the new chipset. Switched the cables again and checked again. Again nothing, so i figured maybe the bios needs to be updated.. plugged in the usb connecter in my 'Cube and nothing happend at my PC. Next i tryed is restarting the 'Cube cause maybe the PC would see it.. but then my 'Cube didn't even start any more. The only things that are working is the red LED and the ventilator. Also i checked back the insides of the cube to see if something wasn't connecting anymore or might have been broke. This didn't seem the case as far as i can see. The weird thing is, the Qoob Pro works cause now the PC can finally find him. Also i can transfer things now. But when i start the cube just nothing works, all i see are the ventilator working and the red LED. Now i don't know what to do, someone help.
I had a similar problem... The disc drive more-than-likely isn't spinning because you don't have the connector under it fully locked. I had some wires that were preventing me from doing this when I installed the cube, and moving them/locking it in place got my cube to start spinning again. Also another problem I had - not sure if you do - was that the yellow wire was touching the heatsink which was preventing booting. The way around this is to wrap the portion of the wire that isn't covered with a bit of electrical tape. Of course apply this to any exposed wire touching any of the electrical parts. http://forums.xbox-scene.com/index.php?showtopic=410051 for a similiar example Good luck
I now only have 1 problem left, I don't have any sound What is the problem (even no sound in the original bios)
Did you guys bridge the two points when soldering cause i didn't and it runs but I cant seem to FTP through my BBA, wondering if its the cause of the problem.
I bridged it like in the manual. But i think i broke a resistor or something else.. damn.. maybe even the soundchip -.-
