Ok i decided to flash my X3 chip from the X2 bios to the X3 bios and i used X2 bios i didnt have anything else with me at the time so i have a v 1.0 xbox i have a stock switch banks: on on off off off. So i would turn on my xbox and i would get no video or audio when the chip is enabled i used the X3_1463 bios. If the chip is enabled it doesnt show any video or audio but it remains on unlike the newer bios that would make it turn on then off with no video or audio. so I get no video or audio what do i do.

P.S: if you people are going to say check my 13 and 14 LPC points i think its ok but heres some pictures to tell me if im wrong because im not sure.
Oh yea sry its a little dusty

OMG

Desolder it all and start again - remove the board and check for underside bridges and blobs of solder. You cannot leave an Xbox like this as I wouldn't like to say what would happen.

It's not hard to solder properly, so get practicing!

I dont know the X2 bios works perfectly and i know that the X3 bios uses the 13 and 14 but my friend did that because i suck and i could get it stay on. Like i would solder it and the day after if would be off... That is GAY

I hate to say it, but like Martin Said... that really is terrible soldering. Looks like you didn't even remove the solder from your LPC port before you started. That's not being mean, it's just the truth. You can do it better than that, you just need practice. If you don't have the time or facility's to practice, then get an installer to do it for you.

I have seen many topics started by yourself, trying to get an X3 bios working from an X2. I don't know why you would put an X2 bios on an X3 chip, even if you had to wait until you got the new one to do your flash!

What i'm trying to say is, it may be in your best interests to get some professional help here. There are many people on this site willing to do it for you, for a very reasonable fee. I'd offer myself, but i doubt you'd send it all the way to Australia... :D
