Hello...I posted a previous problem in another thread but I think that it is now a flashbios issue...

I have a 1.6 xbox with a xapt3r1.6 and an x3 (not CE) installed on it...when I boot to the xbox dash it's fine (Holding down power button to bypass chip)...however when I try to go to the flashbios screen with the backup enabled (holding power and eject) I get a frag...

This chip was used in an old xbox (v1.5) and has an old version of a bios on it (but obviously it wont work in my 1.6 and that's why I need to get to flashbios screen)...

I do have both LED lights on for the chip just in case anyone was wondering...please help!

How do I get to flashbios and avoid the frag???

you should get 3 blue 1 red on the xapt3r1.6 then when you put chip on it you should get 2 blue 1 red on the chip
if chip was flashed with x3 on banks 1234 then you will have flash over flashbios 3.0.1 that means that switch setting off on off off off flashbios will not work as it is flashbios 3.0.3 that will not work on v1.6 xbox so if you can not get backup power eject to work you will have to do hotswap
this is only if you installed it right

Yeah that's what I was afraid of...I don't know of anyone else who has a chip to do a hotswap with...damn...looks like I'll be buying a new chip...unless anyone has any other ideas of how to do a fix without a second chip?
