ok got help on my eject only problem with starting my x3 .... taping the power botton once quickly does work...
but alas my second problem still exists ... i cant get to my config live screen set up ( so i may activate my X3 LCD) ... Yes! I tried holding the white button at start up (held it till my thumb bled..) I also did that power and eject button at the same time thingy still got nothing but my evox dashboard..

My stuff.. ( this is my first mod and its good so far .. but i need some help getting my lcd activated..)

1.6 motherboard
8.16 bios
the new version of evox..3935 i think
X3 chip..


Out of all the tools I've got to build my first xbox.. this site is by far the
most importaint.. I would like to extend my extream thanks to all who make this site posible...for your time and insightful knowlage in the modification feild above and beyound all who have come and tried in vain to keep up.. I along with thousands if not millions of others feel a grand sense of pride and honer in the little evox logo (shining like a glourious flag) that pops up every time i start my xbox... THANKS !! FOR IT ALL!!!

u said 8.16 bios.... you need an x3 bios ex X3 1959 - 1024k to get to the config live screen. config live isn;'t on the chip it's in the bios.

ok i was told that any other bios (besides 8.16) used on a 1.6 motherboard would rune it.... if thats not the case then please let me know .. thanks

Sounds like liquidmental is running Evo-X M8 for 1.6 boards. If this is the case then first you need to make sure you have an Executer 3 modchip, then you'll need to flash 1MB of your bois with the X3 1959 bios. After you've done this you'll need to make sure you've selected that 1MB bank for the bootup sequence. Only then can you use config live to activate the LCD screen. Other bios images may support an Executer's screen attached to the X3, but those other images are not guaranteed to support the X3 LCD expansion.

yup I got the new xecuter 3 modchip .... so im going to download bios 1959 ..

ok I will try it out... I will let you know what happens ..

thanks..

well I tried the 1959 bios you told me to use ... and sadly they seemed to have failed ... as my xbox would not boot up to the evox screen afterwards and did that funny turn off turn on three time thingy before giving you and error... well I loaded the 8.16 back up and she's back to her old self... still LCD'less ... now what...
