I ordered three X2.6CE's from www.system-mods.com on their sale. I received the order and, due to an experience with a faulty switch (thanks be to this forum for helping figure out THAT problem), decided to start checking the new switches.
In my zeal to do so I discovered that I may potentially have a bad chip. I installed the chip on a working Xbox (modded already w/ an X2.6CE that I KNOW is working) and found that I can't get the FlashBIOS screen to come up when switched to EITHER bank, the screen just goes black. Thinking this was a little screwy I also popped the chip into my other box w/ a slightly older X2.6 with the same results.
Thought maybe I'd hot-swap the chip and use FlaxhX to program it, but FlashX just hangs.
So, is there something else I should try? I've almost drawn the conclusion that the chip is just dead and I need to get it swapped out.
BTW, I've been waiting for a replacement switch from my first order which I STILL haven't received. I hope many of you haven't been having the same issue. My second batch of chips revealed a second non-functional switch and one dead chip. Hppe I don't just have bad luck.
