Im installing a X3 chip for a friend. This is my first time having a frag, so im a little lost of what to do. I installed the pin header, and the LPC rebuild. The d0 point, and the HDD, LAN. When I turn the xbox on. The chips lights up, the 3v and 5v led's light up. The control panel LED is red saying that the chip is disabled. Even tho I did a quick press on the power button. The xbox turns on and off 3 times, then flashes green and red. I know this is a frag. I resolderd every thing at least 5 times, and same results. Also nothing appears on the screen. If hold the power button, it boots normally into M$ dash. Mabey I didnt get a good soilder.. who knows... Ive seen the kind of frag with the contol panel blue. and then it frags, but not this kind of a frag. This is my 4th chip ive installed, and so far the 1st unsucessful. Can anyone tell me some posibitlites of why this is happening.

I did search before I posted this this, and I couldnt find what I was looking for.

Thanks a million

I had this problem on my 1.5
To fix I just resoldered the LPC over and over and over...
Keep checking your connection, espically your LPC.

right behind you
Just as a note.....resoldering over and over again is bad....youre gonna be very likely to mess something up after doing this......
