I just revived a dead xbox, badly burnt trace, well i got it to boot to default M$dash, i then hooked the chip up (installed D0 during repair) great it booted, got to flashbios 3.00.... http flash.... it spit out an error (to blurry to read) after a few moments
i rebooted and try to gain access to alternate banks, and the back up bios, to no avail. waht the hell happened, thats twice http flash has ****ed me.. ohwell...
i rechecked my solder points (for no reason, box wasnt moved why would there be a problem with contacts?)

I have the usb programmer for the 2.x chips im wondering if that werks with the x3?
i tried to fit the chip but a pin hole is filled in on the x3 chip, can i just shift the chip to the right?

i want to say i read a post similar, but i am unable to find it now

um x3 chip on v1.1
