So after having the longest day of searching on how to load bios from a disc/or via http. I finally burn a disc correctly. The Flashing Xecuter was in progress, but it started to become slow, so i was worried that the drive wasn't reading it anymore. (This is where i f**ked up, horribly) So being the stupid curious person that i am. I turned it off, just to make sure it wasnt stuck.

Now when i turn it on, the eject button flashes in red and green, and i get a black screen with no audio or video! got damn it. Is there anyone here that can help me out? I really hope i can fix this.

Give a bit more information, whats your xbox version, and what did you try to flash and switch settings etc...
For now, try the backup bios... or another switch setting.

I'm running with a v1.6 xbox, modded with a Xecuter 3 CE.

I just simply loaded a bios disc to get everything jumping, because i couldnt use it at all without the bios. And in a stupid manner i was on this stage of process....



The flashing process was taking so long, i thought it froze up. So i attended to shut it off (thinking everything would be normal) and i could eventually start over, but f**k.

All i get now is flashing red and green lights on the eject button, and it only boots after three flashes of green.

No video, just a black screen.

Would that be the case if i my hdd wasn't locked? because i'm still getting no display at all, but sometimes when i enable protection flash and boot pressing the power button i got the xbox logo screen, and it says service needed with the error number 05 in the top left corner.

Im still in need of help!

I wish i could get that flashbios screen to show, so i can genuinely start over the right way. But i'm still getting no display, and i have the standard ms av cables, everything's been in placed from the time it crashed.

mate i had a x3 chip that had came with flashbios 3.0.3 on the backup bank that will not work on v1.6 xboxs are you 100% its a v1.6 and not a v1.6b xbox flashbios 3.0.1 that should be on backup will not work on v1.6b xbox
if you flash the x3 bios to the frist bank you wounld have wiped out flashbios 3.0.1 that works with v1.6 xbox so bank 2 will not work has flashbios 3.0.3 v1.6 do not work
the only thing i think to do is a hotswap with the chip
