I can get to the begining screen for initally flashing the bios. The problem is I can choose any options. It wont let me move up and down at all. I tried it with the chip disables, and the controller does work. Any ideas?

Possibly, try it with a MS controller - maybe borrow from a friend.

It's a simple check, could save you some time.

Okay, try all/combinations of these...

Make sure only 1 controller is plugged in
Unplug DVD connection
Remove any memory cards from the xbox or controller
Use the D-Pad instead of the stick
Try different controller ports
Don't plug the controller in until the bios loads


Do any of these work?

Sometimes you just have to suck it up and feed the MS monster...

If it's the huge controller, it will not work (well, it tends not to work anyway). This is why MS now ships the S version controller with their Boxes because nobody liked the other one.

Make sure you use the S controller.

Should I download and install updates on xbox live???

Hi. I have a 360 that is flashed with the LT firmware. I want to sign into xbox live to watch movie trailers. Should I install the updates when I try to sign in or just forget about the trailers?

That depends, if it's the system update, you may want to flash to stock to take it and then flash back to LT. Otherwise, if it's an update for Zune, you might as well take the update.

Ohh ok thanks. How can I differentiate if its a system update or an update for Zune?

By the way, this may be a dumb question but Zune is that mp3 player developed by Microsoft right?

But i think I get the gist of what you're saying, I just don't know how to differentiate betweeen system update and meaningless Zune player updates.

A system update is when as soon as you connect to Xbox Live, it says update. An update for Zune is when you run Zune on your xbox and it says update. And yes, Zune is a video/music software based off the MP3 player MS made.
