I added a mini-LCD screen to place on the front of my xbox. I soldered it to, obviously, the A/V pins on the underside of the motherboard. Everything worked fine until the Video In to the LCD came loose from the board, so I soldered it back. However, upon start up, I did not realize that the wire on the LCD board was also touching a 12V source on the board, therefore instantly shutting down the xbox. Now I have no Audio/Video. The xbox starts and the eject light stays green for a little then begins to FRAG. Is this a simple fix, as in just flash a new EEPROM using Cromwell (since I unfortunately didn't back up my EEPROM)? I have an Xecuter3 to do this. If this isn't the problem, anyone have any ideas on what could be? It sort of smelled funny when I had turned it on but not really like something was burning. I checked for burns/broken traces and couldn't see anything, and I don't really know which components to check with my multimeter, so any input would be more than appreciated!

OMG!
Next time you will just get an LCD screen that the regular cables plug into and not try soldering anything. I would say either the LCD is fried, or you just screwed up your motherboard and your Xbox is now dead.

Not sure if it has fuses like a PS2 but if one of those blew it would need replacing.
