Flashed bios works but my disabling frags out

[beerman]

So, i have a 1.5 with x3 flashed to 1959. Works fine. But when i hold both buttons in to use the backup section or hold the power in to use the diable section it frags out (red and green flashing) or it goes to the bios that came with the chip. But i thought it was supposed to use my m$ bios. Anyone have any ideas. I have rechecked my do point a few times but i have no idea i'm a nooobie. ?? Or is there something i have not done yet that i need to. I know i need to install a few dashboards and its on my list for later, but i'm feeling lazy right now. Thanks so much

It's a case of bad soldering. Redo your soldering, or get someone to do it for you that knows how to do it.

I had the same problem with a 1.0 and it WAS bad soldering. Specifically on the D0 point. The Soldering job was good enough that when D0 was pulled low the chip would boot, but when I tried to disable, the D0 was bridged and therefore wouldn't disable properly (my best guess). Fixing up the D0 soldering fixed the problem for me.

Not sure if this is your issue, just sharing my experiences.

No dice, i checked the soldering and then hooked it up the the scope and checked the continuity and the do is connected and correct. Any other ideas? Could it be another connection other then the DO?

yo may have sliced some of your traces.

When you hold Power+Eject it goes into the "Backup Bios" which IS FlashBios 3.0.1.
That is perfectly normal, and should be verrrry comforting to you.

Doing a long hold on power (Switch "X" led is red) gives you a frag?
If that is the case then it should be that the soldering caused a screw up, but to find out for sure remove the X3 while your box is OFF, and try turning it on.

Does it still mess up? If so, then REMOVE the power / eject adapter for the X3, and plug the wire directly back onto the board.

Still doesn't work? Recheck your solder points starting with d0, and try continuity tests between your solder point and the next component along that trace.
