X3 switch not working, New problem!!

[junkman2]

OK Just wanted to post this to let some of you know about the X3 switch.

I received a 1.6b xbox from my buddie because he said that the switch wasnt working. Turned it on and...it wasnt working. Had both lights on the chip...cable to x3 and chip was connected.

I took the chip out and the switch. Cable looked good and didnt see any cuts or anything.

Well on the chip I took out the switch cable and looked in the chip.
2 of the pins were bent so I straightened them out with some very small pliers and it worked fine!

So check that when the switch isnt working. Hope this helps someone! :mrgreen:

I think that should be common sense but considering some of the people on these forums it is a good idea to post it. actually they wont search and they will never find it so its pointless.

i had that problem too, but I couldn't even get the cable to plug into the chip, cos I wasn't really paying attention while I did my install and tried to stick it in upside down.. *doh* my bad

lol!! its funny how some people do the hard parts perfect and then mess up the easy parts. but at least you solved it yourself.

Toy Soldiers: Cold War revealed, coming to PAX East

Remember that XBLA game Toy Soldiers? With the ... umm ... toy soldiers? Well, apparently it's getting a sequel set in the 1980s. As revealed in an email missive from Microsoft regarding the publisher's PAX East showing, "Toy Soldiers: Cold War" features the same blend of first-person action and strategy of the first game, albeit with a new '80s angle.

The publisher has yet to reveal any images or info about the game, but given its placement among playable PAX East titles, we expect to hear (and see) a lot more about the game this coming weekend. Which is when PAX East goes down, in case you didn't know.
