At
this moment there are 2 main versions of the Xbox. The xbox
v1.0 and the xbox v1.1 - The reason that it is important to
make the distinction is because some xbox mod chips only work
with certain xbox versions. For example, the X-ecuter v1.0,
Enigmah-X and Xtender will only work with the v1.0 xbox. X-ecuter
2 PRO, X-ecuter 2 LITE and the Matrix mod chip will work with
either v1.0 or v1.1 xbox.
There
are 5 primary ways to determine which version you have.
1)
Check the "manufacturing date".
You
can even do this when your xbox is stick packed 'cause there's
a small whole at the back of the xbox package where you can
read the serial & manufacturing date.
The
manufacturing date (MFG. DATE) is in international format
: year-month-day
If the manufacturing date is prior August 2002 : you have
a v1.0
If the manufacturing date is August 2002 or later : it can
be a v1.0 OR v1.1 ... try another test.
2)
Check your Xbox bios/kernel version.
Goto
the "settings" option in the XBOX menu and select
"Sytem Info". You will see lots of legal text.
At the end of the txt you will see something like
K: 1.00.xxxx.01
D: 1.00.xxxx.01
If you don't see this you still have one of the first xbox
versions (3944 - USA only) , so it's a v1.0
If the xxxx = 4034 or 4036 or 4627 you have a v1.0
If the xxxx = 4817 or 4972 you have a v1.1
3)
Check if there's a FAN on the GPU
Open
your xbox and remove the HDD & DVD-ROM. If there's a fan
on the gpu heatsink (next to cpu) you have a v1.0 , if there's
no fan you have a v1.1
4)
Check if there's a USB pcb
Open
your xbox and check the USB chipset. If it's a separate pcb
you have a v1.0 , if it's on the xbox motherboard you have
a v1.1
5)
LPC points
If
the LPC points are filled it can be a v1.0 OR v1.1 , if they
are empty it's a v1.1
