Lemme get this right.. your gonna hot swap the chip?!?

Assuming that something is wrong with the chip... Why not just flash the new chip with the current bios.. if you need your settings just write them down. ?

I think he is trying to flash his previous chip which obviously won't load for him to flash with.

I believe your method will work. To make it simple, don't plug in the eject/power adapter. I'm guessing this is because you have a 1.6b, which you flashed over your only good flashbios 3.0.3. (you mentioned off on off off (2nd 1Mb bank))

If its not a 1.6 then disconnect your external switch as well.

The reason I am hot swaping the chip is becauseI have a ver 1.6 xbox and back up does not work on the 1.6 xbox and I guess I could just use the new one but I rather have two working chips than just one.

Yep, that's fine. Just plug in your external switch, leave the rest off. It should work fine.
