Hello everyone, sorry to be a pain in the arse. I wonder if someone could clear this up for me, I am alas a noobie :-( I've got a v1.0 box which has nicely got all the pin header holes filled in :?
I've had a good look around the forum and have found myself in almost every tutorial looking for details on wiring colours for the optional wire install with the X3. I manage to find this:
http://home.comcast.net/~x3guide/InstallationFAQ.htm

So went in for the plung and wired the baby up, did all the rest in the tutorials and put it back together.

Plugged it in and FRAGG :cry: Green and Red switching on and off

I sh*t a few bricks for a good half hour then went back to the forums :wink: and looked up flashing lights, the bricks stopped it could just be the soldering :x
Anyway i then started thinking i could have the wrong wires on the wrong holes. ARRRHH

HELP!!

So peeps have i got the wiring wrong or am i looking at touching up the joints.

Same diagram I used to put the X3 in my V1.0. I got frags the first time I booted. Turned out I had not soldered one of the wires very well. I broke out my multimeter the second time out and rechecked each solder point. Sure enough when I was sure each solder point was made, the X3 booted up on cue!

Yeah major Joy!!!

The little red wire on the header was loose, I've now got a V3.0.1 bios screen.
Thanks chasealicious11 and sidewinder007z for your help moocho thanks. So on with flashing :? I'm starting to get my head round all the bios flashing and dashboard replacement ish but there does seem to be a shed load of them about, any suggestions would be spot on.
