I have X3 in my 1.6b. I get 2 blue lights on the chip. If chip is disabled it works fine. When I enable it I get the blank screen. I am using the standard video cables I have checked and rechecked my soldering a zillion times. I have also tried every bank still nothing including the backup. When I do enable the chip I get a green light and after 30 seconds or so it turns solid amber. From what I have read it could be solder splash, broken traces, or wrong flashbios version on chip. I have contacted several places that sells this chip to ask them to install flashbios 3.03 for me and they all tell me they can't do it. BMMods says they can sell me a programmer (that works on the X3) but from what I have read it doesn't exist yet. Can somebody verify that my chip does not have flashbios 3.03 on it and put it on there for me.

So long as you absolutly sure no damage to motherboard then..

Your x3 should have 3.0.3 on the second 1M bank.
just want to check u are clear how to set the switch banks...
Bank 1: on,on,off,off,off(flash protect)
bank 2: off,on,off,off,off(flash protect)

Note if you have the pro switch then set left to right
Bank 1: off(flash protect),on,on,off,off
bank 2: off(flash protect),off,on,off,off

sorry if u have already done this and i seem like its stating the obvious but have to cover all bases.

If no go then return the x3 to your supplier who should put 3.0.1 on bank 1 and 3.0.3 on bank 2

If u get no joy then you need to get your x3 flashed in a friends modded box (any version but 1.6b)

I have tried them all still no luck. Don't know anybody else with a modded xbox. Guess I am going to have to send it back.
