sounds like there might be dodgy contacts on the install.
its the solderless so dont check for solder splashes, but have you scratched/damaged anything?
Make sure the P0 connector is on tight -i dont know how it works on the solderless install so check those connectors are on tight.

You say it powers up. What do you get on screen?

Are you using an origional M$ gamepad and is it in the FIRST controller port?
Did you plug the port back into the motherboard? (I forgot.)

What version of xBox are you using?

Details man! its well worth it.

yea im not sure bout the version i aint really checked that one out, ive checked out all the tutorials for the solderless adapter and all the connections are fine
handset is plugged in at port 1. it loads up the normal ms dash wen i set all the switched on the x3 panel 2 on. and i get it to load the flash bios 3.0.3 when i leave switch 4 on and any other (or all) off. i jus plug the power cable in and the xbox fires up. i havnt even touched the one button. btw u kno where i can get a gd x3 bios from?

ty for help

OK, you need to know what version of boX you have.
If you can check all the connections then you've got your box open so go here to find out your version.

Also, what are your lights showing?

Right, if its switching on when you plug the cable in the back then to the best of my knowlage there is something wrong. It should not do that. Try removing the whole chip / the switch connector to see if it makes any difference.

to flash the latest X3 bios you're going to want to use the first 1mb of the chip. set the switches to on on off off (off).

for more information RE bios's have a look at #xbins on the efnet IRC network.

Definately a poor connection on the LPC or D0. Might as well saved the $30 because you have to solder the LAN and HD LED anyways.

u dnt hav to solder the lan and hdd at all, they are just like sub features.
