i have xbox v1.6 and a x3 chip with 3.0.1 on it..... every thing is fine when i boot up and lets me http the bios no prob till it trys to actuly load the new bios..(green bar).. it goes about 25% the way green then it just stops.... i have read and read and searched a bit and not found much to help me... boots fine normal(chip off) but anytime i try to laod a bios to it thing does this, i have tryed a lot of differnt bios and no luck, iv check my flip switches and there set properly... also pulled out the board and gone over all connects and they seem aok.... im at a loss.... any help would be great...

also when it locks up on the GREEN bar i get orang/green flashing (not sure if it flashes the whole time its working or just when it locks up) i just noticed it is flashing and from looking up what this means it kind of makes me more lost.... any how..

THANKS!....

the only time i have ever seen a rolling black and white screen was when my video region was wrong.

try this

Video Region Quick Swap (LEFT+X NTSC, LEFT+Y PAL - hold on bootup)
