You've got a FRAG, probably due to a bad flash or incorrectly flashing the chip. What was this "old BIOS" you have that you tried to put on your chip? Can you still boot FlashBIOS from the other bank?

When you recover I would advise you use the new X2CL 5035 BIOS. It is the latest Xecuter BIOS and 1.6 compatible.

make sure you're using stock video cables that came with the box, then try booting from bank 2 again

what size bios did you flash to the chip?

if it was 1mb then you'll need to get a programmer or to do a hotswap

the file is 512k so i think bank 2 is still blank because when i boot to it all i get it a black screen and a yellow light. I have readed about hotswap but could you remind me what it is again.
