my chip is build in fine, thats 100% certain,
i had problems with the contoller but i borrowed a DVD remote and that works fine.

but now i can't flash.
i'v tryed the network setup but it won't get an IP, it won't even goto the standard IP.
i have a domain controller wich has a DHCP server, i made reservations and everything.
then i thought i'd try to burn a CD, but it won't read it, i used the teamxecuter tutorials to make it.
the weird thing is i don't even get any error messages, from what i understand from the tutorials is you're suppost to get error messages when it is flash protected (which it isn't btw) or other things, but it just does nothing.

then i wanted to try it with use of the hdd, but i don't know how to get the bios file on the hdd because windows can't read the filesystem.

here are the specs:
Xbox v1.6b
X3CE without LCD
Flashbios 3.0.3
bank settings: off, on, off, off (doesn't work on any other settings) i understand it should be in on, on, off, off for first time flashing, but i hear the xbox going on, but the screen stays black.

is there anything else i can try?
some help would be appreciated, thanks

Trying burning a CD-RW.

Also, boot into 0ff-on-off-off, then change switches to on-on-off-off before flashing.
