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.

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.

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!
