Wrong Bios on X3, now what???

[abriels]

It was all working fine until i flashed with the wrong bios. I just flashed v3029, on my v1.0 xbox. Now the screen shows no video. How can I flash again, with new bios, remember I cant see anything on the screen? Any ideas? Holding the white button doesnt work either.

Power + eject == backup bios also are you using a stock AV cable?

You know buddy am in the same boat and it seems no one has an answer I had every thing installed fine Then went to flash with 3029 and then everything went south from there.. The xbox shut off I re booted it started fragging and will not stay on ..But in my case by holding the eject and the power button I got the purple logo and the 3.0.1 screen up ...then I flashed it with 1959 bios AND NOW THE BOX STAYS ON BUT NO PICTURE OR AUDIO ..what the hell is wrong ..did the chip go bad or is there some key thing missing becuse I have been searching and still no answer ...So if anyone fines out please let me know ..

Thanks

I am using monster component cables. The power plus eject button puts something on the screen, but i cant make out what it says. its like the screen is cut in half and the white lettering is too small and shoppy to read. Any more suggestions?

Thanks.

use stock a/v cable. You should be able to see things clearly.

I checked and checked I even disconected the the switch panel from the x3 chip ..

what I flashed :

1on 2on 3off 4off 5off

1off 2off 3off 4off 5off

1off 2on 3off 4off 5off

1off 2off 3on 4off 5off

AND FINALLY DISCONECTED SWITCH PANEL FROM X 3 ...

AND STILL NOTHING

I switched to the stock A/V cables, did Power+eject and booted into backup bios perfectly. From there was able to re-flash with the proper bios. Thanks so much guys!
