Orange/Amber Led constantly

[mcnallyj]

Is this the result of a bad solder, or should it be this color? Also, whenever I try to flash, I get the message "programming failed", and the only way to get back the x3 bios is to use the backup. It appears like it is flashing the yello bar completes and then the green bar completes, but then the programming failed message pops up. Just looking where I should start, it also never frags so to speak, only gives me the orange led. Oh, and did I mention I am a noob?

Thanks all in advance! This is a 1.6b, perhaps that is what is causing this as well (with the hynix and samsung drive)

Oh, and I should add this is the eject led which I am referring to.

= no video cable plugged in

Interesting...so that's what the orange means? That's strange, because it was plugged in so I am wondering why it is thinking it is not plugged in? I also am using the standard video adapter that comes with the adapter. :?:

yea same thing is happening to me too. try to put X3 1957 bios on. i have my video cable plugged in too. i have version 1.6b also

if you have v1.6b and did ANY reading youd know that flashbios you have doesnt work at all and also X3 1957 doesnt work either

FlashBIOS v3.02 is being flashed to all chips at the factory which now works and there is a new X3 and X2 bios about to be released.

Thanks all for the help. Once 3.02 was able to get 1957 to work for me, I went ahead and just changed the default color to amber, rather than the half green, half amber it was giving me prior to that. I'm convinced that the pcb that the eject panel plugs into is the culprit, but since it's working, I'm more than willing to deal with it!

Banned after Drive replacement???

Hi I got my xbox drive replaced from liteon to benq by someone.

Now when I've went online it says the console is banned.

Does this mean my gamertag is banned or what?

i.e. can I take the hard-drive off and plug it into a unmodded legal
xbox and still play the arcade games?

I'm thinking of buying an xbox arcade for this purpose.

Is it possible to get around this banning?

How does ban happen would the xbox been played with a backup game?

Re: Banned after Drive replacement???

if youve not been online for awhile and just signed in my guess is ya xbox was flagged for a ban some time ago.

and yes you can use your hard drive and sign in to live from a unmodded or modded unbanned xbox.
its a console ban not a live ban
