Eject turns X3 Chip on - Quick power tap turns chip off

[shultz321]

:?:

Ok, I remember this being posted here somewhere, but I seriously can't find it for the life of me, so I'm going to go ahead and throw the question out there.

Just installed X3. When I do a quick power tap, it turns on the XBOX with the mod chip disabled (logo on panel = red)

If I press the eject button, the X3 is activated (logo on panel = blue) and turns on fine. I then see the flash bios.

I'm assuming that I plugged in some cable backwards, but I don't want to risk just changing cables all over the place :wink:

Please let me know any suggestions you guys might have! Thx

I had the same problem. I had to even unhook the control panel to flash the x3 bios on it. Then i hooked the control panel back up. I still needed to push eject to get the mod enabled. but then i left it for about 2 hours. and for some reason it is working perfect now. not sure what caused it or fixed it. i would lvoe to know..

Thanks,
Dave

Yeah, it works differently each time now. It keeps changing

look at the power/eject board, check all the solder points, make sure nothing is shorted together, most likely there is a short somewhere on the pads for the wires going to the chip.

Make sure to look behind the sticky pad on the back of the board

Hey,
I think i figured out my problem. I was holding down the power a little to long. press it really quick and it should work. I think i was holding it down for too long. Not sure why i couldnt flash it though, probably something with the dip swtitches.

I posted a while back on this, and most likeley it is the power/eject board, take the sticky stuff off, and check the solder points, that is like 90% of that roblem, and if worse comes to worse contact your vendor and they should send you a free one.

Thanks all! I'm going to try it..... :arrow:

I am having the same problem on a v1.6x as described where sometimes tapping the power button will enable X3 and sometimes it won't. I've taken the same chip and power/reset board to a v1.0 xbox and it works everytime the way it suppose to. I believe this is an issue with the x3 and v1.6x boxes. Can anyone else verify?

Yeah, I think it's really sensitive to how long you hold the button down. If you hold it for 1ms it boots off the modchip, if you hold it for >1ms it will boot off the MS bios

After reading this post I tried to stab at the power switch and it worked. I really had to barely touch it or else it disables the chip. This is on a 1.6 box. On my 1.0 box it is less sensative and I was used to that. My advice is, before cracking the box again, try to tap the power button like shultz said..."for 1ms". T

Did you dump your firmware? if not then I think your only option is to buy a new xbox.

Re: i just screw my 360 up help please : (

no sir, i forgot to dump the original firmware, but i wrote the key down. and i got the 360 to work now :lol: . i used jungleflasher to open up iextreme LT firmware and type in the key and save it as BenCFW.bin and i used that to flash my drive using iprep.
but one question

what will happen if i dont have my original firmware saved just the key?

:roll: one more quesiton....
how come when i try to rip a newer game with a keron drive and use abgx360 to injects all the files to the game it give me error message about video. and when i burn it the game does not work. this is only with the newer games. when i try with some old 360 games it works fine. is it the abgx360 is outdated?

Re: i just screw my 360 up help please : (

I think agbx only works up to wave 4 your best option is to get a spare xbox drive and flash the 0800 firmware to the drive then you do not need to worry about patching anything just rip and burn with imgburn.

Re: i just screw my 360 up help please : (

this might be a stupid question, but since it is a 360 drive how to do u power it up when u rip a dvd or do i just use my 360 power supply just like when i flash my original benq everytime i rip a dvd?

 

[t0il3t]

Re: i just screw my 360 up help please : (

yep, the way I have mine set up is I have a SATA to eSATA cable and use a maximus power dogle.
