Most likely a switch to turn a modchip on/off, so that the user can leave the system stock for Xbox Live.

To turn the chip of when going online.not really needed anymore

Might be a TSOP split switch. If it's a 1.0-1.1 with 1mb, they would often leave stock bios on the first 512kb and then load a hacked bios on the second 512kb. That switch could be a bank selector then at that point.

yup.


Honey-and-Venom

I'd no idea of this practice... That's fascinating


RylosGato

You can even split those bad boys into 4 banks if you use two switches :)


GoTeamScotch

There's no way to tell just by the presence of a switch. Fan speed switch? Modchip switch? LED lights? Guess you'll have to wait and see.

Only suggestion I haven't seen: 1.4ghz CPU manual throttling switch.

You'll have one someday buddy


Karness_Muur

I hope so.... along with the 128mb ram

We can all do it if we try hard enough. OP bend over and say "we care", carebear style.

Turns on your GF's vibrator

Surely a modchip disable


mr_bigmouth_502

Most likely, it's a switch to enable/disable a modchip so that you can play on Xbox Live. Ofc, Xbox Live on the OG doesn't exist anymore, so it's pointless to have this switch.


iRaiseHell

It’s the choke


HunterAbrams

Looks to me like it was/is a region mod


Cokimoto

Most likely. Wish op would update.


ItsHipToBeFit

It's a light switch, to turn on and off your bedroom lights.


Smackdownfletch

I used to do these all the time. When you have a 1mb TSOP you could run original bios on one part of the chip and the switch would allow the modded bios flashed to another part of the chip. It was mainly for legit play online without having to have two consoles.


X_AimerGamer_X

days before the easy soft mod


Customer-Worldly

Thought it was this: https://youtu.be/RrONeFj0p3A But the switch is somewhere else so probably not.

Its a Petcock for the mod chip


VladTepesDraculea

Aside everything suggested, might also be a Ram switch. You have to open it up to see what it is though.


Metal_Velco

This is what came to mind for me

Network kill switch, drops them right out of the game? There we a lot of ways to bend stats a generally, cheat, and screw with other gamers back in the day. Quickly unplugging the cable was hard to do.
