Do you mean your eject/power buttons don't work when your chip is enabled??
Is the IGR enabled in your BIOS settings?

yea a few week ago i posted a question about the power/eject buttons but nothing could be done about it. also im running evoX dash and IGR is enabled. wen i press L,R,start,back it just resets the game, shouldnt it go to my dash??
that only resets the game as well. cos i cant use my power/eject buttons with chip enabled i cant copy games to hard drive that i put in the xbox drive. as they load up automatically as soon as i turn the plug on.PFIDR34 said:
Use the latest X2 5035 bios and disable CDRom boot in the ini file, this way your xbox will go straight to dash even with a game in (you can launch the game if you choose from there). Also disable auto-play on game insertion (settings differ depending on which dash your using) for your dash.
My friend who i cant get in contact flashed my box as i was having problems. it says the bios is "unknown" is there a way i can find out which bios it is. thru the dash or ftp??paul_phil said:

Right -
1. Disable IGR in Evox dashboard. The X2 BIOS has a better, more stable IGR.
2. The Unknown BIOS listing is again to be ignored. It's a line in evox.ini which would need to be added and right now is the last of your problems.
3. DO NOT DISABLE BOOTING TO DISK AS RECOMMENDED BY paul_phil!!! You will have nothing but problems should you need to recover. It would mean making a rescue disk, but again right now this is not the problem.
4. Power / Eject buttons not working with the chip enabled. Do they work with the chip disabled? If so, then you've messed up some soldering somewhere. THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED AS A PRIORITY. Forget about the rest, make this #1 on your list.

ok i shall take ur advice martin as you have helped me once before! lol.
I think iv explained the whole situation to u before but here it is in a short version:
-had a 1.0 box and buggered up the install
-purchased a new 1.6 mobo with LPC rebuilt already and a psu which worked fine with no chip installed
-as the LPC was already built i soldered my d0 wire from my 2.6 chip to the wire which had bin soldered to the d0 point (hope that makes sense) and soldered the alternate 5v. thats the only soldering i did
- when i put the power cable in, the box powered up on its own
- with the chip disabled the eject works but not the power. with the chip enabled neither work.
- stock hdd was locked to old mobo so put in new hdd
- friend flashed it and works fine with the long process of disabling chip-ejecting to put copied game in- powering off at plug- enabling chip- powering on at plug!!!
i know that was a bit long but detail is needed to find out the problem i think. I was just thinking about it now and i realised that as the LPC was already built when i bought the mobo, the pin header was already installed but all the pins were in. I know some are meant to be taken out but i wasnt thinking when i put the chip in. could this be the problem???

ok - remove the yellow cable from the power/eject buttons and see if it powers up when you plug it in.
Martin
Martin
yep it powers up on its own wen plugged in wen the yellow cable is removed.
do u think its anything to do with none of the pins being removed??

NONE of the pins are removed? Well pins 4 and 16 should be removed anyway, but pin 6 also needs to be removed for 1.6 Xboxes.amitm said:
Martin
yea i think i said it earlier....basically wen i messed up the install on a 1.0 i bought a 1.6 mobo. wen i bought it the pin header was already soldered in so i didnt think i should touch it. so du think that cos the pins arent removed (especially pin 6) then thats the problem here??Martin C said:
amitm I do not know the reason behind the pin being removed but every read me i have read says REMOVE it for a 1.6 install so if your comfortable with doing so i would remove it or have it done for you.

Pin 6 is removed as it provides a PERMANENT 5v supply to the chip from a 1.6 Board. This leads to the chip being powered before the power button is pressed. This is why an alternate 5v wire is soldered in place.
If not already done so, get someone to remove pins 4, 6 and 16. Slap the person who soldered this in.

i think i mite have to. iv bin tryin to find out wat the problem is with pin 6 but i cant find it anywher. if just that pin is de-soldered it should just come out rite?? i think il get someone else to do it cos iv already botched one operation!
also. this is just a quickie..... cos i cant use my power/eject buttons wen chip is enabled i cant copy any games to HDD. is there a way round this cos wen there is a game in there it goes straight into the game so wen i use flashfxp it wont connect cos the game has started. any options for me??

disable the auto run game from dvd in bios or dash I think my dash has the option as well as the bios
and as for desolding the pins I can not beleive I am goingto say this but instead of desoldering them what happens if you just take wire cutters and snip them off so it will not make contact to chip seems about the same as desoldering them just less work and a little messy
