Probally better off tell u what i did to my xbox before i get to whats wrong. So heres my story:
First I installed the x3 with a pinheader on my 1.0(i pulled the solder and everything to fit it through)
Every so often the xbox would not work and would frag so i either gave it a love tap or opened it up and pushed the modchip down a little and it would work without problems for a while then it stopped responding to this treatment so i got fed up with it and went with the wire install option(destroyed the pinheader in the process)
Now to the present i realized that the thing was probally doing what it was doing due to dry solder joints and now its to late to go back cause im out of a pinheader. My xbox is now not booting the x3 bios but i am able to get it to go into backup mode and get the regular xbox bios to boot with no problem. It frags when i try to get it into the x3 bios and every so often when i try to get to backup mode. The selector in the front is turing blue then shuts off(at one point it wasnt doing this i had to fix a broken trace.) The rest of the wire soldering looks ok but the grounding point is kind of broken on one side(not sure if this the problem)
To Summerize: Switched from pinheader to wire install and the xbox wont boot the x3 bios.
What can be the problem?
Any help would be appriecated
Thanks Konrad
