Bank 1234 bios failure after working for 1 month

[sikjester]

I had the chip installed for about a month everything working fine. I was playing it for about 4 hours, shut it off, came back two hours later and i got a frag when trying to boot bios on bank 1234. I loaded the backup bios and reflashed bank 1234 with X3 1957, still no luck, so I reflash with X3 1959 again no luck. Then I loaded X3 1957 on bank 5678 and everything works great. I have been using it for the last couple of days on bank 5678. I can not get any of the two bios to work on bank 1234. I have no idea what to do next. Any help would be great. I have a version 1.0 XBOX and i am using the correct bioses.

Thanks, Justin

sikjester,

When you reflashed bank 1234 with X3 1957 what happened when you tried to boot? Did it just Frag again, or do nothing?

I've got a similar problem. I had no problems with the install and after flashing a few BIOSes into 256k and 512k banks I could no longer boot any regular bios, only backup FlashBios 3.0.3.
No amount of reflashing 1MB banks 1234, or 5678 seems to resolve the problem. I try to boot to Config Live but that doesn't work either.

xbill,

When I reflashed this is what I get.

Indicator panel flashes blue for a second.

Indicator panel goes black as well as screen.

Indicator panel flashes blue again for a second.

XBOX frags.

I can still run on bank 5678 thankfully, but bank 1234 is screwed.

i've got the same problem. installed an x3 bad first. so i badflashed bank 1-4 (on/on/off/off/off) with X31959. next i rechecked my solderjob and the chip worked perfectly. so banks 5-8 (off/on/off/off/off)are nicely flashed with x31959.

now i want to know how i can access flashbios on the first 4 banks to install a fresh bios. when i use eject and power button at the same time, flashbios launches but won't recognise a 1024k bios. any help will be appreciated.

@TeamXecuter: thank you so much for rocking my box. i owe you!
