ok so i just killed my motherboard yesterday and i wanted to replace it. i have a v1.0 xbox and a xenium ice chip with the eeprom backup. i know how to use xboxhdm if that helps. my question is, if i buy another v1.0 motherboard, can i just pop it in my case, install the modchip, put in an unlocked hd, and lock it with the new eeprom? or will i have to do some special modding to get everything to work? i couldn't really find anything about replacing the motherboard here or at xbox scene. any input would be appreciated.

You will need to have the HDD unlocked and have Config Magic, or another HDD locking tool on it. _________________ I think I like fixing Boxes more than using them!

You don't have to Lock your HDD unless you want to softmod it or go on Xbox Live.
Other wise leave it alone and unlocked. If the motherboard happens to go and you dont have an eeprom back up. Your HDD is a paperweight for the most part, unless you warranty it out to get a fresh one or if you send it to a information breaker that cracks HDD pw. _________________ XBOX v1.6

If you use Config Magic to lock your Hdd it will also have a master password of "TEAMASSEMBLY". Which means you can unlock it on a PC. _________________ I think I like fixing Boxes more than using them!
