I have a 1.6/1.6b box dips at off on off off (Flash Mode) tried for many hours , I burned about 10 or so bins thinking that I didn't have the right one because of the box refusing to flash for me.
I then found tutorial about the chip(xecuter 3CE) having a Flash protect switch on it and to turn it left to flash. Ok , so I did that, went to my flash from disc mode screen and wallah flash started and finished. The box then shut off. Throughout all this confusion I forgot to write what flash file I burned to the disk. Switches now set at on on off off I get nothing ..Black screen. Switches at off on off off the chip is blue, turns on and off 3 times then eject button flashes red. When I hit the eject , nothing happens.The box does seem to operate with chip disabled. Is there any hope? Please help

you have flash the wrong bios
x3 3294 for v1.0 to v1.5 xboxs
x3 3294 v16 plus v1.6 v1.6b xboxs
you allway flash with switch set to on on off off off when flashing the chip for the frist time
try backup power eject at same time
if you have a v1.6b then backup will need to be flashed using x3 bios option flash backup rom with flashbios 3.0.3

Hi
I have tried the power /eject and nothing. The box is acting like it has no power. The chip is just flashing blue light then goes out. Nothing is on the switches.

Any ideas?
