Can anyone help me with this?

I put in an X3 on a 1.6 with the pin header install w/ LPC rebuild pcb. It works fine when I do disabled it goes straight to MS Dash, but when i use backup boot and normal boot i get no video, a flashing green light and then a solid orange one. I get the 3.3V and 5V LEDs and the write enabled LED is on. The switch displays the correct color.

The chip wobbles a bit on the pins, but I do get the 3.3V led so i don't think thats the problem.

Can I use this table for LPC voltages or do I need something else for the rebuit 1.6 LPC? http://xbox-scene.com/articles/lpc-diag.php

If you want I can post pictures of the soldering.

I checked w/ a multimeter and all pin voltages match except these pins:

14 3.31
13 3.31
03 0.00
01 -1.90

It says LFRAME (03) is disconnected on V 1.3+ so that might be right. I have no idea what 14 and 13 are supposed to be and that -1.9 for pin 1 is what I see.

Original MS A/V Cables?

Title sums it up, are you using the original MS A/V cables? If not that's likely your problem. If so....hmm!!

No I have the AV Pack, good guess though. Turns out I was a f**king retard who didn't read the docs!

If anybody has this problem, make sure your chip has the flash bios that supports 1.6 and also switch it to that on the switch. duh. :(

But on the plus side, my first xbox mod and a solder one w/ the LPC rebuild was a 100% sucess. And only the second time soldering (1st was gamecube) :)

Another hint for noobs is that 15watt irons are sucks and don't heat for sh*t. 30watt worked a whole lot better, just be careful.
