how do i clean the chip?

[delta exxon]

what do i do if i just want to clean the chip completely and start over from scratch? is it too complicated, or should i just take that way out? and if it's not, how do i do it?

Why do you want to start from scratch??

 

[delta exxon]

because my screen is blank after i held trigger on startup. i already pushed the white button while starting up again, but it didn't change anything. all that happened was, it started up normal, but then it went to a screen that said "your xbox is damaged, get it repaired." so now i'm stuck with a blank screen. and no matter how many times i flash it with a different bios, nothing happens. also, there wasn't anything on it.

does you box frags? (red green red green flashes )
or is it solid green ?

 

[delta exxon]

when it was working, i changed it to red. and when i turn it on, it's still red. there's no flashing colors

did it give you an error number when the damage screen came up?

 

[delta exxon]

no it didn't. it just said take it to your local xbox store or whatever and get it fixed.

wierd, new error messages on the xbox. hmmm. or maybe he doesn't bother reading the screen with the error msg's, just like he doesn't bother to read the forums before posting something that has already been answered.

ffs just boot flashbios, and flash a 2048 bios to the x3, then after it erased the ROMs, cut the power to the xbox.
If u want to clean the backup rom, first boot to a ConfigLive, go to flash backup rom, select a bios and cut power after the rom is erased, then do a webflash with a 2048 bios and cut power after the banks have been erased.
