I need major help. If anyone can direct me somewhere for it, it would be much appreciated. I am a total noob to this, so of course, i messed it up and did not do enuff research. I have researched for 3 days now, with no luck. Now i am finally asking for help, and i know everyone hates it when noobs ask for help w/o researching.
Hardware: Xbox 1.6, Xecuter 3
First problem: Flashed the chip without the proper switch settings (on on off off, etc.)
End result: Chip refused to boot.
2nd Problem: tried hotflashing with friends modchip. During which time, I decided to Ftp into the xbox to download his config before hotflashing. During this download, i accidentally turned off the machine. Note: i had 2 red wires for the 5v connection soldered on, because our chips used different 5v connections.
End result: His machine refused to recognize his modchip, the front switch does not power on. I can see a blue light from the modchip, but the front switch still doesnt turn on. The box booted fine to Windows, but still wont boot to chip bios.
3rd problem: Felt really bad about f...king up his box, so i swapped his chip into my box and tried to swap his hard drive. His hd wouldnt boot up in my box so I gave him mine.
End result: I have his box w/ my chip. His box (originally mine, with his chip) is working fine, but he cant get the cd drive to open. My box boots Microsoft, but mod chip front switch doesnt turn on resulting in the chip not turning on.
Questions:
1) what is wrong with the modchip? Is the switch bad? I checked the connections and tested out all the wires, but didnt test the switch. It was professionaly soldered and the solder points are all good ( I never touched them, only the 5v point which is easy as hell to solder. I am trying to avoid buying a pro switch w/o knowing the exact problem as this is sort of expensive. He wont let me test out my switch on his machine now because he is afraid i'll burn it again (understandably).
2) How do i reflash the chip if i get it working again? Is the bios blown? Can i use the programmer?
Please someone help. Thanks alot, and i would like to add that i would pay for some help. email me at [email protected] if you got anything.
