3294 flashes, but will not boot.

[gwanberg]

[font=verdana, arial, helvetica]I've installed the X3 CE mod, booted to FlashBIOS, and flashed the 3294 BIOS with HTTP numerous times now. I've flashed both Bank 1234 (On, On, Off, Off) and Bank 5678 (Off, On, Off, Off). Flash status appears to proceed successfully everytime. However, when I try to power-up and boot the BIOS, the xbox powers itself off almost immediately - no video and no FRAG, just powers off. It seems I can only successfully boot into the X3's FlashBIOS backup.

Sorry, I just found this sticky...
Sticky: Blank Screen After Flash X3 - SOLDER LPC 13 & 14 CORRECT

I will try this and report back.

It worked. Soldered LPC pins 13, 14 and booting X3 3294 BIOS fine now.

I have the exact same problem, unfortunatly mine was "professionally" and they really put the board in tight with resin and all, I'll run this thread by them when I take it back today
