[TUT] Xbox 360 Slim Status Leds/ Power SWITCH

[hacker360]

In this tutorial i will be showing you how to do the following on the xbox 360:
•SMC LED( Slims and Xenons ONLY!( Hdmi Phats do not have a controler for the LED))
•Nand LED( Slims Only )
•CPU RST LED
•POST 1 Out Led
•Power Switch ( Slims only (Already on Phats))

I would like to see this in action, but I'm not really sure hot to incorporate it into a 360, have you done this?

Also what is the switch for, to turn the leds on and off, because I have no idea?

I have a vid on my fone will up tommrow. that switch is a power switch hookup so that you dont have to use heat sensitive buttons

Well, if you take your time to read the readme carefully you will notice that it mentions a pin on the CPLD that is designed to power a led with an operational status.

If you're wondering which pin is it, it's the pin 27 of the CPLD. :thumbsup:

Just toss an led from it to the GND and you're good to go.


Putting leds on the glitch pins might actually cause the glitch to be harder to achieve.

OK I just did a quick experiment with the slim, for the SMC, and the NAND, and it works. The NAND stays lite, and the SMC pulses slowly when off, then faster when on, ect. It would be nice to have a pcb made up where you can just connect the points to it and have it behind the grills or something, not really important just looks cool.

Also does anybody have a model number for that switch on the slim, one that would fit the exact placement would be great.

What is the behavior of the NAND and SMC lights during the boot process?

A little late but here is my take on this.

Really easy to do, and serves no point but it does work.

I'm sure it serves a purpose for someone be it diagnostics or curiosity. I have an HDD activity light on my old XBox to help figure out various problems when they rarely crop up. Plus it's kinda nifty.

And I'm in agreement with the above posts, putting an LED onto glitch pins directly probably will modify glitching behavior. Not like LEDs aren't known to have voltage drops.

Which reminds me, I still need to get my slim to glitch. Bought chip #3 to try out and still nothing! Grumble grumble...
