QOOB Pro installed but problems

[s8n187]

hi scene and emu_kidid , ages ago i got a QOOB Pro from Eurasia and today felt like installing it into one of my GC's.

Problem is i get no Video at all , the Chip's LED comes on though.........

Aswell if i connect one of my other QOOB Pros to the Connector i just soldered in i get Video...........wacky stuff


if anyone can suggest anything it is appreciated

Can you read/write a BIOS to the chip that is producing the no video output issue?

I had a very similar issue, turns out the chip was faulty! (I could read/write to it fine and the LED on it would turn on as well).

hiya emu_kidid , yes i can read and write to the QOOB Pro.........when i got your msg i checked if there was a Bios installed to the QOOB and there was none so i upped ' qoob_13c.gcb '

I re-checked if i could get an Video and still none.............what are your thoughts ?

[emu_kidid]

Sounds exactly like the one I had issues with. I didn't go over the board with a multimetre to find the issue but I did get a refund. (mine was not from eurasia, but some other store that I've forgotten the name of)

roger that emu_kidid , thanks for getting back to me.........next time i get a QOOB or QOOBs im going to test them out straight away to confirm if they work instead of leaving it a long time before finding out.

That way i have a better chance of getting a refund or replacement

I just checked Eurasia Forums as i have been chatting to ' modrobert ' ..............and he said to email them with my Order No.

I did just that and may be in with a chance of getting a replacement or refund , fingers crossed.

good to hear!

I think the issue is that these modchips have been sitting around for some time and some components may have failed or become old

[liquitt]

your shop was modchips24.com emu, right?

and also, i never got my qoob pros to work. screw that, i'm fine with my vipergc for now

[emu_kidid]

yep that's the guys I had bought from. they were nice enough to refund though.

[liquitt]

they are super nice, i ordered from them 4 times now or something....!

I just installed my Qoob pro and have the same problem.. Cube powers up, Qoob status LED on, USB BIOS flashing works however there is nothing on screen

Guess I'll just have to remove it, argh! I waited ages to get that Cube back from my brother's friend, just to find out it's as much use as a chocolate fireguard!

[liquitt]

where did you get your qoob pro?

[Jaecus]

from here, the web store

[emu_kidid]

Jaecus, does the cube power up with the chip removed but the wiring left in?
