Hello there!

I have a problem with frag on a xbox.

First it fragged after I had soldered the thing and put it all back together. I opened it up again and found that one solderpoint was bad, so I fixed this. Now the frag was gone, and it loaded the flashbios menu.

Here I selected the flash from disc option, and inserted my dvd-r. It started flashing, first yellow, then green. and when the green bar came to the end, the xbox shut down. I started it again, and the frag was back. :(

So it seems to me that it is a bad bios upgrade? And I see all kinds of tips about reflashing, but how the h.... do you do that? I am not able to boot from cd, or at least I dont think I am, not sure how to do it, since it starts fragging instantly..

Does anyone have any tips? Its not my xbox :( I have modded 3 other xbox , 2 1.6 and one 1.0. with the 2.6 ce chip, and it all went fine. Did the same thing this time, and it didnt go at all :(

Please help? :)

Regards
Al Bester

which bios did you flash to the chip and of what size?

did you try swtiching banks?

you've most likely flashed the wrong bios to your chip

I used the X2.4983.BIOS 1mb, the same that I used on the other box that I modded... 2.6 ce that one as well

I have tried using all kinds of combinations with the dip switches, but either it boots into original bios, getting an 16 error message, or just fragging
