X2CE 2.6 + Xapt3r + 1.0 Xbox = red LED part of the time?

[derfunk]

I've done this stuff before, but it's been a while...this is the third Xbox I've ever modded, and the first two were long enough ago that I used a Chameleon 1.3 and the solderless adapter.

I have an Xecuter 2.6CE modchip and I ordered it along with an Xapt3r for a 1.0 Xbox. I installed the Xapt3r per the instructions posted on these forums. I even see the 3 blue LED's. Now it doesn't matter if I have the modchip mounted or not, the red LED just flashes for a second when I first power on the console, then after the stock BIOS loads, THEN it turns red and stays that way. Because it does eventually turn red, I can't believe this is a d0 problem.

What I'll end up trying when I have more time is swap the Chameleon from my brother-in-law's 1.0 Xbox into my Xbox and try to pop the X2.6CE/Xapt3r into there and see what happens.

But in the meantime, is the LED behaving properly? It sure doesn't seem that way, though it doesn't FRAG either, but I searched these forums and Google and came up empty-handed. Suggestions appreciated.

OK, I swapped consoles and the Chameleon works in mine and the X2 still doesn't do anything in my brother-in-law's. So it's not the console.

I do have an X2 programmer and have flashed different BIOS's to it in the thought that maybe there was somethign wrong with teh BIOS on the chip, and that didn't do anything either. Still no go.

red led on xapt3r means D0 has good connection

here's a tutorial of the install

I've seen that. I'm not a total noob. what bothers me is that it flashes on, turns off, and hten turns on again about 5 seconds later.

I guess what I"m asking is, should hte Xapt3r's red LED come on, go out, and come back on?

 

[MKChampion]

no, it should remain constantly lit to indicate a good connection

OK, then there's somethign wrong with teh Xapt3r? It goes in D0 and you do have to lift out out to move it, so it's a solid location.
