Okay so heres what I've done to try and fix it.

First off: First attempt with xbox destroyed a trace while attempting to life a bad LPC rebuild board. So I swapped out mobos and started fresh with another mobo. Both of them were 1.6's.

After trying a wire install due to a trashed pin header I only get flashing red & green.

So I unsolder all the wires cleanly and clean up and fix my pin header. I install the pin header (with the missing pin as instructed) and everything looks great. Probably one of my best solder jobs.

Next I rebuild my LPC, beautiful work, everything went smooth no problems.

Now I notice that while handling my x3 one of the pins inside the external switch adapter has been bent. So I bypass and solder it directly to the board.

Problems:
Both blue LEDS light up. External switch shows RED. As soon as power cable is plugged in, system auto-powers up. I checked the switch adapter and it looks fine. Without switch adapter it turns on normal but still no luck, only flubber start up. If i plug everything in, I get an ERROR 6 message.

I've tried everything and nothing is working.

is the hard drive you are using from the mobo that you changed. i'am thinking that might be why the drive cant unlock. the auto startup sounds like a problem with the power/eject board.

stock hard drive. I inspected the power eject board, and I don't see a problem, everything looks good.

The only thing thats been done so far mod wise was a rounded green ata cable and i removed the metallic rf shielding.

Re: PC locks up

use the primary port on your mobo the one your hdd uses if using via card uninstall the via drivers as the jf states not always needed though and use the port thats closest to front of pc on edge of card
