Blinking Orange Eject LED?????

[RaveChild]

OK, I have searched and have read many posts about this problem, but have been unable to determine a solution.

I installed my X3 in my 1.6 xbox (pin headder), with the LPC rebuild board. When I power on the box tries to boot 3 times then I get one green flash one red flash then it blinks orange and the fan goes crazy fast and I can't trun the box off without unplugging it.

Both blue LEDs are on, the switch pannel works, my video cable IS plugged in.

I have been trying to test my connections with a meter but due to the rebuild board being in the way I can't see where some of the traces go.

Any info on how to fix or track the problem would be appreciated. I am almost convinced that it is my soldering but I am unsure how to check ti when most of the traces seem to be under the rebuild board.


Thanks!!

any thing work for you guys i need to try something i too have the orange flash blues this isnt FRAG this is FOANPC (flashing orange and no power control)i did take the chip off and got FOANPC but i unhooked the do\LAN\HDD wire and got a FRAG i also unhooked the 5v and got a FRAG it seems as if i got a bios(M$ or x3)i get FOANPC but if i misinstall the chip (on perpose) i Get a FRAG man i hpe some one knows what this is


ps: one more thing if i leave it on while(FOANPC) it turns off buy it's self hope that helps

So I desoldered the LPC rebuild PCB and broke a trace in the process. Repaired the trace, and rebuilt the LPC with wires and all is good now!!!
