With the chip turned off the xbox works like normal. But if i boot with the chip turned on it will work fine the first time, but if i turn off the xbox and turn it back on it will frag. I must first turn off the chip and turn it back on before it will work. While its fragging, if i turn off the chip and back on before the lights start blinking, it will boot up with the chip just fine. It does this same thing on both bios banks. Other then that it works fine. Any ideas? Thanks
Must reset chip each time to boot up

I pulled the 5v. from the small black chip to the left of the video connector. One problem i had was the the #9pin on the lpc was not reading 3.2v. So i jumped it from the #15 pin. I did not use a rebuild board. All other pins read correctly compared to xs lpc dianostics sheet.
No, the xbox worked fine before the chip. And with the stock hard drive, it continues to work with the chip turned off.
Not the clock. The chip itself. I must flip the switch on the chip "off" and then back "on" each time i restart the xbox. So lets say i boot my xbox with the chip to xbox linux. If for some reason i much reset my xbox, i must turn the xbox off, then flip the switch on the modchip to the off position, and then to the on position, then turn the xbox back on then it will boot into my cromwell bios. If i dont, the xbox will frag.

I unplugged them, and plugged them back in with no success....How do i check voltages for the switch?
Switch seems to work fine. whats the Pin on the pin header that is labled RST? Is there a pin that actually resets the chip?
