I modded my cousin's Xbox last night and when we went to plug it in the power auto comes on. He has a 1.6 with a X3 and the LED flashes Red. After the power comes on the green system error screen comes on.
Any suggestions?

I think you problem may lye with the socket you have plugged the Power/Eject cable into !
Although the lead is colour RED that dont mean it goes into the red socket on the Xecuter 3 !!!!!
I found this the hard way and it seems you mat have too. I then tried to rectify the problem by replacing the lead into the correct port on the X3 and found I had blown up my Power/Eject button :(. I know this because i rebuilt the console and it wont start from the Power or the eject buttons. although when connected to my other consoles P/E button it works fine.
Check where you connected the leads m8. Hope your P/E buttons r ok.
And Team Xecuter plz Colour code the wires to the sockets for people like us lol
Good Luck all ;)

if you have a v1.6, I would think that you would connect to the red "5Volt v1.6 ONLY" spot.
course I don't have a v1.6, I have a v1.4 and plugged it into the v1.6 spot. it wasn't good.

hey there, it's jeenyus' brother. I unplugged the cable from the switch panel and now it loads up fine to the x3 bios, I just can't use the p/e buttons. Any ideas?
