xecuter 3 just wont work 4 me

[boxboy]

Problem is never had flashbios screen, only loads ms dashboard.
xecuter 3 and xapt3r installed.
d0 wire firmly in, xapt3r firmly into motherboard
switch panel x logo only ever purple.
ONCE had orange flashing light and box would not turn off.
Also a little help in understanding the led's on xapt3r and x3 chip would be useful, I currently have 3 blue & 1 red on xapt3r and 1 blue next to ground on chip itself.

maybe switch tothe correct bios thats compatible with your xbox ?

theer are two version on your mod

unplugged the switch panel from x3 chip, still boots ms dash.
which bank holds the preloaded bioses?

 

[boxboy]

With the d0 lead in i have 3 blue & 1 red on xapt3r and 1 blue next to ground on chip-
remove d0 lead and red light on xapt3r did not come on (or the blue light on the chip)

need both the power LED's lit up on the chip. period. check the xapt3r.

thanks for the replies - any idea what would stop other led from lighting - which is seemingly the 3.3v? - sorry its the 5v that does not light up!

 

[nutsak]

a bad connection on pin 9 and/or 15

look ------->

thanks nutsak, edited previous post as its the 5v led not lighting up.
As i am using xapt3r (no soldering at all) what are the best steps to solve a bad connection?
Have turned the box on with as much pressure on the little xapty as I dare!

 

[nutsak]

what version is your xbox? if it's a 1.6 then your not on the right track.

 

[boxboy]

box version is 1.1

 

[nutsak]

pin 6 is not making a good connection if the 5v LED is not lighting up, try reseating the xapt3r like the tut sais, and make sure it's tight and straight on the LPC. other than that i'm stumped. i never have used the xapt3r, so i don't know about installing one. hopefully someone here that has can help you more. but i'm sure that the pin 6/5v is your trouble.

sorry i can't be of more help.

 

[boxboy]

thanks, u got me on the right track.
still stumped though, xapt3r seems to sit in the board fine.
The first diagram i read on installing x3 showd the chip to be mounted the other way on xapt3r. Yes, i did have the x3 chip on the wrong way round and turned on the power.
someone already confirmed this wouldnt have caused a problem.

 

[nutsak]

if the chip was on the adapter wrong there is a very good chance the chip is ****ed now, maybe it got the 5v or 3v to somewhere it didn't need to be.

 

[boxboy]

I fear the worst. is there anyway to check the chip?

 

[nutsak]

i'm afraid that someone else is going to have to help you answer that question my friend. sorry i can't really do more!!! best of luck, if you need anything else just PM me.

cheers for the help.
