I got a chance to open my two new Xbox's today. I bought both knowing they were failed attempts at chip modding. I opened the first one and it's pretty obvious why it won't boot. Most of the tracers on one side of the processor are all but gone. The second one won't even power up, implying the power supply is shot. I opened it anyway and there may be one or two tracers needing replaced on the mobo, but it looks like it may work as is. When I get another chance, I'm going to take the good power supply from the first Xbox and use it in the second, with hopefully good results. Stay tuned, maybe some photos will show up.
