hi,

my xbox doesnt start, when i push the power button it sounds and looks like it's stating up the machine and then it turns off after 1-2 secons, it does this for 3 times and then the machine start's with the eject button running green \ red (the machine stays on with this light blinking), i have no onscreen visual message... what should i do ? can anyone help me ?

Daniel.

but my machine worked for about 2 years now and i haven't moved it from it's place since then, are you sure this should be the problem ?

i also have to mention that my XBOX is 110V while we have 220V here, i am using a transformator 220V ~ 110V, could it be an electric isue ?

It's not uncommon for a modded Xbox to stop working. Sometimes a solder joint comes loose or something might be shorting out. I don't know much about the 220V - 110V thing, though.

I am posting this because i have managed to fix the problem on my xbox.

the problem must have been in the solding, i have't used a high quality solding material, although the XBOX worked just fine for 2 years i guess my wife moved the box and solding connectin broke, i readid all the solding on the machine and there you go the machine works again.

so my advice to this FRAG situation will be, redo all the solding.

thanks for all the help .

Daniel.

Hmmm .... I vaguely remember hearing this advice before about FRAGGING. :)
