x3 On V1.6

[I-Rocco]

[font=verdana, arial, helvetica]Guys I have tryed to flash the Bios. On my V 1.6 mother I have got the flash bios screen and load the cd with X3 3294 V16 Plus it loads Bar turns yellow then green . Flash Bios turns off I turn back on and it FRAGS! I have checked continuity and voltage all good the PCB isn't touching anything on mother board. I have taken the PCB off and tried the wires and it does the same thing. I went by the tutorials for burning and my XB has never been used online. I really think the bios is not working properly on my chip. I am ready too loooose it! Please Help? I have the bank settings at 1 on 2 on 3 off 4 off 5 off I can't get it to go online because I haven't ever set it up. Any help would be great. Thanks[/font]

did you rename the bios to bios.bin before you burn it to cd-rw
use a cd-rw or dvd-r cd do not work on some xboxs

Yes I changed it with Qwix and change it to bios.bin with dummy.bin. I used both DVD- and CD RW. I have tried almost every bios for 1.6 and they all do the same thing. The flubber comes up and you can play games no problem. The mod chip will not load bios. After loading and shuts down. It flashes on mod blue startup three times and red and green frag.

I have the exact problem too. I booted first time and got the 3.0.1 FlashBios. I then flashed the X3 16plus.bin and a 100mb dummy.bin to a DVD-R and flashed. It all seemed to work fine, but when I turned on it went on...click..off...on...click...off...on...frag.

I took it apart, and see that everything is soldered fine (had it done by an expert w/ some machine...I break whatever I solder). I had lots of people look at it too and nothing seems to be bad with the solder job.

Thoughts?

I haven't ever set it up for online. I set it up manually and it dials up but when I go to modchip the chip doesnt let it go to site. Crazy arggg
