I doubt it is the bios on the chip, there is no way it could have been flashed unless you are using the chip with flash protect disabled. Check the switches on the Xbox. Try flipping the enable/disable switch a few times, and if that doesn't work make sure the wires going to the switch are firmly plugged in.

It is either the switches or the dashboard files got corrupt. Why leave the switch on unprotect?

Not on this planet!
Well if it went to live its updated the dashboard, pound to a pinch your dash was named MSDASH.XBE, you need a boot disk to restore your dash thats all, you have not had a relashed bios chip , no need to touch your chip in any way shape or form.

Thank you. Maybe if they see two people say it they will actually listen.

there are 2 512k banks on the chip that can have a hacked bios flashed to them
you can have a different on each bank
bank 1 can have the bios you use the most and bank 2 can have a backup bios in case something goes wrong with the first, you can always recover from the second, or vice-versa

here's how to burn cd/dvd correctly and create an xISO
