I am having the exact same problem. The LED on the front switch panel of the X3 glows red for two seconds, the internal fan switches on, and then the power switches off only to turn on again, repeat the previously stated actions and then repeat this process again before staying on, black screen with the HD not spinning. This is the freaky part. When I press the eject button for the DVD-ROM, the HD spins up. :roll:
So... here are my stats and then you can tell me what a stupid newbie I am.
:arrow: XBOX Version: 1.6b
:arrow: LPC Rebuild: No
:arrow: MOD:Xecuter3
:arrow: Preflashed Chip: DNK - Will not boot to that point
:arrow: Solder joints checked - 16 times to date
:arrow: 250GB Hitachi Deskstar 7,200RPM - Unformatted, again because I cannot boot to that point
:arrow: Number of successful mods to date: 1 - but number 2 is killing me
Your reply is anxiously anticipated and your patience with me is truely appreciated
