[jayopen]

:shock: :? 8) :lol: :x :evil: :twisted: :roll: :wink: :!: :?: :idea: :arrow: I Have a 1.6v xbox with a x3 chip also has 1957 bios installed. Now when i boot up the colour on my tv looks like one of the tubes has blown, but i know this not to be true as i'm watchin tv right now and its perfect. any ideas as to this issue or is it the chip itself????????? for an example: xbow logo on chip is default green but on my tv its orange. again it should not be orange as ive put the chip in another 1.6v and it is green as it should be. i've tried changing leads that connect my tv to xbox so its not that either. any help would be greatful..

You could try reflashing with the 1959 BIOS but sounds to me like theres a hardware issue there.

is the color screwed up when you play a game?

yeah its like your playing in american tv format NTSC instead of PAL our format.
Do you think it could be the EEPROM settings on the xbox itself?
The reason i say this is because i now have completly taken out the chip and its still like it. When i first installed it eveything was fine But its for a friend of mine so i was showing him all the bits in config live and we went in the setting for the EEPROMS and i might have altered something in there by mistake do you think?
Do you know how to restore them if say you had done daft and stupid things that you shouldn't.

I did red ring fix now i have 2 lights on start up???

I did the rrod fix with the silver compound and a x clamp delete with a bolt that comes up from the bottom into the heat sinks, I used a metal washer then rubber with the rubber against the board on the bottom and then another rubber washer and another metal one on top, between the heat sink and the board. I saw the tutorial on how to do it on youtube, here is the link maby it will help some one help me....

I also used 3 pennys wrapped with electrical tape on top of those 4 black chips

Now the problem is when I went to plug it up to unplug the fan to overheat it only 2 lights flash and then the fans turn off after about 7 or 8 seconds. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Re: I did red ring fix now i have 2 lights on start up???

From my experience with fixing those in the past, I would let the console "heat up" until you just had the two red lights on the left flashing. I would then shut it right down and let it cool for a while. When you turn it back on you should have all green and a normal start up. If you still have the red lights, then don't waste your time. In my experience, at that point, it is beyond repair. I never did anything with pennies.

Re: I did red ring fix now i have 2 lights on start up???

Try taking the pennies off the ram chips. Also, try a little more silver compound on the cpu & gpu chips. 2 red lights indicates overheating. If you can get the secondary error code, that will give you a better idea of what is wrong and how to fix it. To get the secondary error code, hold in the sync button on the front of the console then press the eject button. The lights will start to flash faster in a certain pattern. keep the sync button pressed and press the eject button a further 3 times. The pattern in which the red lights are displayed tell you the error code you need.

Eg 4 red lights = 0
3 red lights = 3
2 red lights = 2
1 red light = 1
