Xbox Laptop working again!

Posted by sebastian smith on Thursday, May 12, 2011, In : Blog

Over the past few days I have installed a new jasper motherboard into the xbox 360 laptop and it seems to works fine. At forst I had a few problems with the hard drive, speaker and wifi. The wifi antenaes were slightly unpoklugged and the headers and pins for the hard drive had permanent black marker on the that was preventing them from conatacting properly. After removing the headers and pins, it all worrked fine. I had wired up the speakers, so that they switched of when a heaphone was plug...

Xbox Laptop being repaired!

Posted by sebastian smith on Thursday, May 5, 2011, In : Blog

A long time ago when I first installed the board, I tried pulling 5v from one of the mosfets on the motherboard. The xbox gave me e65, so I just unplugged the fan, and it worked fine. Now little did I know, the mosfets that I damaged were the ones supplying power to the ram chips. No as the condition of the mosfets deterioted, I had some serious framerate issues so I decided to swap the mosfet. Being so stupid, I got a different mosfet from a xenon board and it gave too much power to the ram ...

Xbox Laptop now for sale!

Posted by sebastian smith on Saturday, March 26, 2011, In : Blog

The xbox 360 laptop is now for sale on ebay, as I am planning on making a ps3 laptop with the money from the xbox laptop. I hope it sells for at least £400 as it was a lot of work to make the laptop. If you know anyone who might be interested, please tell them about the auction! So, if the xbox laptop sells, then this blog will turn into a ps3 laptop blog, right from the start to finish of the laptop. I have already planned out the ps3 laptop, and sourced all the parts, so once the xbox lapt...

Xbox Laptop Talk!

Posted by sebastian smith on Friday, March 18, 2011, In : Blog

I am doing a talk/presentation tonight, about the xbox laptop and how I built it. I am now saving up for the next build; an xbox 360 slim laptop. I plan to make the case with a cnc router, and make the xbox "whisper silent". Saving up will take quite a long time, but in the meantime, I will still be posting up stuff related to the xbox projects. I will post up some pictures soon, but I have lost my camera sd card just now so I cant. I have re-sprayed the screen back, and xbox laptop cover ano...

Screen hinges fitted!

Posted by sebastian smith on Sunday, February 13, 2011, In : Blog

Today and yesterday I have fitted the friction hinges. They are very strong so I had to strengthen the screen a bit. I then tested it(I have a video of it I might upload to youtube) tested the laptop and it worked perfectly fine. All I have to do now is fit all the screen wiring in and screw the back on!

New Vent Cut

Posted by sebastian smith on Tuesday, February 8, 2011, In : Blog

Today I cut a extra air vent on the cover for the exhaust from the 2 gpu fans. I want this laptop to run as cool as possible! The vent also looks nice, and when its finished I will put some green led's underneath it so it lights up!

Speakers mounted and new cover marked out!

Posted by sebastian smith on Sunday, February 6, 2011, In : Blog

I have mounted the speakers in their places with a little foamex support underneath then to keep them at the right height. The speakers will not be attached at all to the cover so the cover can be removed easily. I also marked out and started cutting the new cover for and all the holes I need to make. I am hoping to get a cnc routed piece of acrylic for a front grill where hot air is exhausted out of the laptop.
