I accidentally used a NON version 16 bios on my 1.6 box and Xecuter3 chip.

Now when I boot it up, it frag's.

When I press eject and power at the same time to boot to backup, It doesn't do anything. If I hold the power button down, it won't bypass chip either. If I unplug the chip, it will boot up normally.

Is there anything I can do to recover and reflash the bios?

Do you have a 1.6 or 1.6b?
If 1.6 the backup will work.. 1.6b it won't and you will need to get it flashed again on another Xbox.

like Poida said then as you have a 1.6, use your backup bios. It can be accessed by holding power+eject to turn on. It will then boot to the emergency backup version of flashbios allowing you to reflash your chip.

But, When I press eject and power at the same time to boot to backup, It doesn't do anything.

Not sure why.

Does the X3 Logo change colors when you do this?
Do you mean when I press both buttons? When I press both, it doesn't do anything. No lights whatsoever.
