Ok.. as i am trying to investigate the current issue that i have with my Xbox not being able to boot in Disabled MOD mode.. i decided to remove all the modifications.. I removed the Xapt3r as well as the MOD chip.. and also replaced the power/eject button to its original slot.. and when i go to turn on the Xbox.. i get no signal.. at all... the original startup that comes with xbox.. does not come up just as if im trying to run the xbox in Disabled mode.. the same thing happens.. the M$ logo does not come up.. at all.. however.. here is the very wierd part...... after countless times of turning on and off the xbox.. i notice that 2 out of 10 times.. the M$ bios loads.. and the Microsoft logo appears..successfully.. and just after i think its fixed.. when i turn the xbox off.. and on again.. i get no signal... meaning that it comes on once in a while.. and not every time..... what can be wrong?.. can it be my VGA port?... or can it be my the original BIOS from M$.. it cant be deleted because it does come on about 2% of the time.... but thats it.. and im not sure what it can be.. the power on the board comes on... and i get no startup... no signal.. I removed everything and its back to its original state.. and i never got this problem before i even modded my xbox in the first place.. i didnt solder anything... and im not sure where the original BIOS chip is... i know its come kind of hardware issue.. because it comes on sometimes.. but if anyone can help me i would greatly appreciate it.... plz... this is the weirdest thing..and no one has had this problem as i have searched.. what do you guys think it is?

are you saying that 2 of 10 times, the xbox powers up then load to MS dash or are you saying each time you press the power button, your xbox powers up but no MS dash?

Second, you may consider posting this on xbox-scene.com forums because this definitely is an xbox hardware problem so you may get more input there in contrast to an x3 bios flashing forum.
