I have my x3 chip install and everything is a go. but when i am in the bios screen trying to flash it. i get no response from the controller. Now i know you will say that i did something wrong. I tried the controller in the xbos OS and played a game so i k now it isn't wiring or i should say i believe it isn't. can you folks help me with ideas on what i need to check?
help bios question
- Thread starter tlavalle
- Start date
i had the same problem i switched to a differnt controller and restarted a couple of times it started working
hmm, unusual. Make sure to take off any dvd dongles etc. Try another controller if you have another available.
try that i removed all packs this is the only ms controller i have. still nothing.
i get the bios 3.0.1 screen
then it looks at the ide controller then shows he menu but like i said before no response on the controller part.

next question is do you hav xbox version 1.6b? If you do that's your problem. You need Flashbios 3.0.3.
ok, another quick question how would i flash it to 3.0.3? Sorry I can not tell if my xbox is 1.6b or 1.6?
v1.6b has Hynix memory and I think the manufacture date is after 9/17/04. If you have an X3 CE, your flashbios 3.0.3 is located on banks 5678 (off on off off off) on your X3 panel.

Don't take the manufacture date as a given for XBOX versions. As it has been pointed out on this site, strange things sometimes happen.
Recently I purchased three 1.6 (not 1.6b's) all with a date of 12/04

Dumb question, maybe, but when you had your box opened, did you plug the controller ports back in?
Might want to double check
stupid question but I have to ask: you are using the flat pad to move the options roght? If so, I'm stumped too
check this thread out: http://www.teamxecuter.com/forums/showthread.php?t=9427. Apparently some stock MS controllers have problem. Try another controller or use your dvd remote control
ok folks i have it running and updated and well thanks for your help. the xbox i have is a 1.6 and all i needed to do was get a different oem controller. go figure.
