Is the drive good? What happens with the chip off, what error code do you get?

You say you get an error if you wait a bit. What error do you get? I'm wondering if it is an HDD timeout issue.

My chip really looks like a piece of sh*t but im running a xecutor 4976.02 bios on it (well something like that) and I guess I can rest assured that even if it can run that bios it probably cant do hd swap with any luck though it can if not I guess im getting another chip

I got a quick little picture of my chip in the mother board at

If you can flash, reflash with X2_5035, error 14 means "Error Loading Dashboard" because you don't have the dash files on your new hard drive yet. You need to make your Slayer's disc boot to format and rebuild your new HDD. If you still can't boot with Slayer's after re-flashing with 5035, try to burn a new copy of Slayer's or swap dvd drive if you have another xbox.

Error 7 without the hdd on cable select doesn't surprise me. Try what islander said and see if that helps.
