Backup mode showing up blank

I searched a bit but i probably missed it so i apologize if its a repost.

I flashed my backup 256 with flahbios 3.0.3, When I hit power & eject to see if all works , the red and blue lights come on, but it just comes up a blank screen. Everything else works fine. I use the standard AV pack and have a X3 on a 1.6.

In my searches the closest I found was 3.0.3 doesn't work on 1.6 despite what teamX says but I have my doubts on that.

Any ideas?

You should be aware of the following points.

a. You can update your bios via HTTP / Hard Drive OR Disc (All optional)
b. FlashBIOS will work on both Xecuter 2.6 and Xecuter 3 Modchips
c. If you cannot navigate the FlashBIOS menu - have only one controller plugged in, unplug any DVD dongles or memory cards, try to
use an original MS controller.
d. FlashBIOS v3.03 may not work on v1.6 in some cases (works great on v1.6b) - at time of press this is being investigated and we
recommend you use v3.01 for v1.6 - this tutorial is exactly the same for that version.

e. FlashBIOS is a utility to update your modchip with any other bios. You cannot play games or run unsigned software with this bios.
f. Make sure you know what you are doing when unlocking your hard drive. If you drive is unlocked you will NOT be able to boot to the
MS dashboard. You will get a service screen with an error code - so BE CAREFUL.

check what xbox version you have.

Theres something "diffrent" about my xbox 360...

OKay I might as well tell you the whole story.

I got my xbox 360 a very long time ago, probably 2006/7. it broke in 2008/9. (only had trouble reading discs). Back then i didnt have a clue what was what so i let it rot in my loft until late 2009! It was probs jtagable as well :( but agen, i didnt know alot still but i didnt know more :).

I got it down and simply used a cotton bud on the laser lense and it was alive again!

so.. this is what is 'diffrent' about it.

I revived it around about a week before the massive ban wave around wen mw2 came out. That was the time when i was realy geting into hack/mods what eva you wana call them and i even did a jtag project (which worked but then e74ed :(... ) so anyway back to the point! i knew it would get banned so i didnt flash it. But in the end i was like f**k it if im geting banned im geting banned so i flashed it with ixtreme 1.61 (benq spoofed as hitachi) and went online and wasnt geting banned!)

I was still playing on that xbox with ixtreme 1.61 until 2 days ago when i finaly fixed my bros xbox and flashed it wid benq ixtreme lt. so i thought i might as well flash with LT as well. so i did.

a day later so sumin v1.1 comes out and i flash with that :). still no ban, and yeah ive tryed playing non stealth games on 1.61 and no ban :D ..

okay so most of that isn't relevant but now you know the story aha.

question... why aint i getting banned with 1.61 (and i checked the status wen u test connection and im not flagged :D)

Re: Theres something "diffrent" about my xbox 360.

bans occur in waves - not everyone that has been flagged will be banned!
m$ like to keep us guessing.

Enjoy what you can while you can!
