looking for a xbox v1.0 mother board

[mjohn16]

I ruined my original xbox soldering the points and I wanted to buy a new xbox v1.0 mother board with the mod chip already on it does anyone know of any good sites that have it in stock

Why do you want a 1.0 xbox mobo. And isnt an orignal 1.0 mobo has the solder holes filled in my MS not buy you? Also they dony sell mobo with chips on them. You can buy a 1.0 mobo and then buy a chip. Or buy a premodded xbox. Or since you already have a xbox and want to mod it just softmod it with ar, sc or ma or 007. All orignal.

I need a v1.0 because my harddrive for my original xbox v1.0 has all my saves on it and thats the whole reason i want the motherboard even if I can just get the motherboard without the chip on it thats kool I have an Xbox 360 but there Backward compatibility updates are rediculous and half the games are glitched up or not the same thats why i just want to get my original xbox fixed

how can you tell if a motherboard is a v1.0?

I bought the xbox at launch i opened it up and all 7 or so pinwhole were filled and there was something else it had that indicated it was a v 1.0

Theyre is the site, but if you replace the mobo the hdd is locked to that mobos eeprom. So you would to unlock it before you could transfer it to the new mobo. plus for the price you'll play for the new mobo its better just to buy a new xbox 1. Plus the ver. 1.0 xbox has the worst dvd drive so theirs a good chance you'll get/have read disc errors.

yes...

I actually liked the v 1.0 dvd drive i heard alot of complaints but 1 it lets me put my jewel case ontop of it easy so i can see the disk spin it also played all of my backed up dvd's and non backed up dvd's i thought it worked fine

[mjohn16]

is there anyway of finding out the version of the xbox without opening say if i went to the store like a preowned store is there anyway of seeing by serial or anything if it is a v 1.0

So anyways like i as saying unless you unlocked that hard drive before you ruined your mobo you cant just swap mobo and expect it to work. Since the HDD is locked to the eeprom. Unless your planning on soldering the out eeprom chip from the old mobo to the new mobo.

that sounds like a pain what if i just went to the store bought a whole new xbox nomatter what the version is there anyway of getting all the data on my old xbox to my new 1 whether its going through the computer or whatever and also once the xbox is modded wouldnt i be able to access the harddrive anyways

Usally the data itself is also locked to the eeprom like the halo 2 map packs. Not sure if the save data is as well. But to trasnfer data between 2 xbox hard drives you use to 2 modded xbox. i'm not sure if a mod chip lets a locked hard drive work on a mobo with a different eeprom.
