Hi

Right I currently have 3 screwed 2.6ce chips sitting on my computer desk. For some reason I am unable to flash them via cd/dvd and also when I use my programmer it is not detecting the chips.

I know the programmer works as I have working 2.6ce chips that get detected as soon as they are plugged in, and I have previously successfully flashed from the programmer so thats good.

I've chipped around 20-30 boxes now, so im pretty confident that im adept enough to get everything right, but I just cant fathom out why I cant get these chips recognised. I've tried using xbm2.1 and xbm2.3, also tried using iXia, but still not being recognised.

I think the easiest thing to ask is would anyone be prepared to have a bash at completely wiping the chips for me and putting cromwell bios back on?

If so PM me and I will gratefully send them off to you - as long as your based in the uk of course!! You can even have one of the chips as I keep on having to order new ones from baldbouncer!

cheers for any help in advance

Are you sure the problem isn't with the switches and not the chips? When you boot with the chips on in the Xbox, what happens? Do you get any errors in X2 Bios Manager?
