My xbox 360 slim won't start after taking apart to flash drive from LT+2.0 to LT+3.0 now I want to use online..
I dont have original power supply,I am using a slim power adaptor that fits phat xbox 360 power supply.
Can anyone help me solve this problem.
As soon as I press the power button it goes green for a fraction of a second then turns red,fan runs but nothing on screen.
Cheers....

Make sure you connected the DVD-ROM power cable the correct way.

Only goes in one way the 2 notches to the top,I checked and I would have to force it the other way.
Still got red light,any other idea.

Thanks for taken the time to reply.
Cheers

Check to make sure nothing is lying on motherboard causing a short. I remember someone bringing me a box with similar issue on a phat though and it was one of them metal strips that sit on the dvd drive front chassis laying on motherboard.
Check for no shortages
