Changes

A problem often encountered in early versions (v1.0 and v1.1) of the original [[Xbox]] is that the trace which carries the power-on signal from the power button to the PIC chip becomes corroded, breaking the trace. Other nearby traces may also be affected, such as the eject button and the front panel LED, but usually the power trace is first affected. If the problem is caught early, you may be able to scrape the corrosion off of the trace, but if the trace has been completely severed, you will need to solder in a bypass wire.

Symptoms associated with a broken power trace include

* The Xbox powers on as soon as the AC power cable is inserted.
