[ANGRY X3 OWNER]

Hey i cant get my X3 to hold a Bios I get the X3 3.0.0 FlashBios screen and i got like 5 options from HD lock and Network Flashing enable or something, I have the Purplish red X3 chip, on a solderd installed piheader, on a 1.0 xbox, i killed my XBox 4 times and Reserected it ...4 times... with Broken traces and all kinds of fun things !! Like Both Lpc Bridge capacitors breaking off and me replacing them !!! but anyway... Ive tryed 3 Bios.bins 2 of them (olderones) Flashed .. wrote .. restart .... X3 BIOS 3.0.0 Again YEAH !!! This has all gotten very out of hand, and all started long ago with a Matrix chip. The X3 Has 2 bright Blue LEDs Shineing, Ive multi - tested all LCP pins, (voltage - resistance ) all seem fine, Yes i fliped the X3 flash protect switch. the only problem i can see i have is the fact i do not have the Reset / adaptor installed with the chip. If i NEED that please inform me. I bought the chip used and was told by a good friend who does all this crap with Xboxs so he would know, but he also said all i need is the chip ........

Im posting more forums in other rooms, dont know if this is flash or hardware problem thank you all in advace for ANY help anyone can help me with Josh

ok,do you have the PRO switch or the stock one?

 

[3dogs]

the stock one is black,the PRO one is what ever color you asked for (black ,green,clear,blue)

You don't NEED the switch, but in this case it sounds like a good idea.

What happens when you unplug the switch is the chip goes into auto-mode.
Auto-mode forces the chip to use the 1MB bank titled "1234", or the first 1 MB bank.
Of course this means that you are never, ever using the 2nd bank, and frankly, where's the sense in limiting options?

I would seriously consider grabbing a pro switch, or maybe post around and see if someone near you GOT a pro switch, and would consider hooking you up with their stock switch.
(At that point IF your 1st bank is just twitchy, then you wouldn't have to deal with it.)
