Hey all,
Where can I get replacement X3 parts? ie spare wires and such? I have an issue i havent been able to track down regarding my x3 install. I know the chip works because i have 2 xbox in the house with x3 installed properly. All of a sudden today the thing decides it doesnt want to activate the chip. This happened after i secured a 120 gig drive into the drive bay and put it back in the xbox after testing. I just want to replace the other cabling, specifically the black wires going to the dip switches as i think that may be where my problem lies. Any help on this would be most appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
James

Heh, didnt finish this thought:

I know the chip works because i have 2 xbox in the house with x3 installed properly.

I know this because i swapped out the chip in the other xbox, and it worked fine in that one.

If the switch wasnt working... the chip should still be. Instead of replacing.... you should trouvle shoot it.

Do you get 2 LEDS on the X3 modchip? Does anything boot up... does it frag, or just not work or what?

Yap i get only 1 LED, I havent really found a good "Troubleshooting" area here in the forums yet. I have checked all my solder points and they seem fine. I have looked for bleedover onto other contact points but my soldering is very clean and tight. I get frag and it acts like the mod chip isnt installed. It gives me error code 5 because i unlocked the damn original hard drive the xbox came with after sucessful mod to use it elsewhere, and now I cant use it lol :p The only thing i can think of that might be a problem is the 1.6 rebuild which i checked as well for solder spread and what not to no avail. I think i will take the rebuild off and do it with wires instead just for good measure and see if that helps, if not ill be going to one of the 2 sites that you helpful gentlemen posted. Thanks for all your help! :D
