X3 w/1.6 issue with power/reset adapter

[Gromitee]

When I insert the power cable on my xbox after installing the X3, it turns itself on, and it doesnt respond to the power or eject button. When I press power button in X3 bios the external led turns red/blue. Everything else seems to work though. Both X3 and external led are blue. Help anyone??

do you have the cable plugged in the right place on the chip?

I have a similar problem, but i am not getting the external X light to come on at all. Both of the blue LEDs on the chip turn on which tells me that i have correct power to the chip, but the xbox will just turn itself on and has no response to the power or eject buttons. If i find out anything, i will post it here and plz do the same.

Stuck In Vendor Mode

Hi There, i backedup my stock F/W, flashed my Samsung TSH943A-MS25 with Ixtreme 1.4 im somewhat new, but i know what im doing,. everytime i put the drive back in the 360 the middle green light blinks and gives me an error 65.
it doesn't matter what i flash with Xtreme 1.5, 1.4, i always do a read after to make sure the f/w was flashed properly, and it does, when i flash diffrent versions it reads as the version it';s supposed to be,

i flashed my drive with Xtreeme Bootable maker, With VIA 6421a ,did a samread, samhack, samhack, and tested. i can also flash the drive with jungleflasher but still get same results.

what can i do to get my drive back, without the flashing green light and err65.


Thank you

also strange, when the drive is not plugged in the 360 the green light still blinks, i tested on my other modded xbox, and when drive is not plugged in, the light doesn't blink??

Thank you
