Ok, just got the xbox in the mail with an X3 chip and the front control panel. I had the switches as follows. Protect=off, 1=on, 2=on, 3=off, 4=off. I think i flashed the wrong Bios bc I got the yellow-erasing message, green-flashing message, then Program failed. I then turned my xbox off after a moment or two, and when I turn it back on, it does the turn on turn off deal three times. I have read that i need to hit power and eject at the same time. When? Do I hit them both to turn it on, or hit them both after it trys to boot up? And what is that supposed to do? Can I overwrite the incorrect Bios? How? Also I have a version 1.6 Xbox, so what versions of the X3 Bios do I need to use? Where is the best place to find them? I don't want to make another mistake so as much detailed info as you can muster would be greatly appreciated. Please HELP!:eek:

Flashbios 3.03 is on the 2nd 1mb bank, Protect off, off on off off. Try and boot with this.
Once booted and have flashbios screen change the switch settings to protect off, on on off off.
and flash with the correct bios.

Just a quick note here, I set up the buttons protect=off, on, on, off, off, and then hit the eject and power buttons at the same time. It took me to the flash bios 3.0.1 screen. Should i attempt to load the new correct bios to there?
