Hi, I have installed a Xecuter 3 in a v.16b xbox. When I push the powerbutton The LED on the controlpanel is lightening blue. So everything should have worked, though, it is not :/ ,I only see a black screen. When I hold the powerbutton in, to boot w/o the x3, the xb is booting fine. Both picture and sound starts to play.

I have tried both 1mb banks, the 2mb bank and the backup bank, it shows a black screen on all. I am using the orginal stock cables, conn. to my tv.

I used the Xecuter Xapt3r 1.6 Solderless Adapter, all 5 led's on it is lightening.



A friend of mine, told me that it could be because the x3 got an old version of flashbios that does not support v1.6b. True?

Is there any other way to make this chip work except flashing it on a older xbox? since I at the moment don't have any acsess to other xbox's.

X3CE comes with both versions of FlashBIOS.
Bank 1-4, FlashBIOS 3.0.1 (on on off off) Does not work on 1.6b
Bank 5-8, FlashBIOS 3.0.3 (off on off off) Works on 1.6b
Backup Bios, 3.0.1 (Won't work)

When I had my XBox on bank 1-4, the power led flashed amber after a few seconds...
If you get FRAG instead, probably best to check connections...

I do not have a Xecuter 3 CE. I am using a Xecuter 3

Standard X3 wont have 3.03 on it, and 3.01 may not work with a 1.6b. Do you know anyone else with an X3 modded Xbox?

Don't need to uninstall it. Just flash over the top of it.

Unfortunately, no, but I contacted the store I bought it. I have sent the chip to them and they do the upgrade for me. Currently waiting to get it back :p

tnx for all help on this.
