Gonna need some more information here.

Is it a fresh chip install that you have done yourself ?
What version Xbox is it ?
Did you flash with 3294plus16 or just 3294 ?
What switch settings are you using ?

yes this was a fresh chip install.....yes just the 3294....settings i dont remember!!!originally i was trying to install this on a 1.6....Then i tried it on a 1.1 and then a 1.4!!!! I was able to get the chip working at least to get to the flashing screen.... the first time with the 1.6 something went wrong and no matter what it would not go back to the flashing menu only got the x-mas tree of death (on,off,on flashing green red)

well i did not get another box for sometime so i do not remember the initial settings!!!! i have a solderless adapter it lights up as its supposed to (i have the 1.6 ver. and the others) but the chip no longer seems to respond at all!!!!

is there some way to restore the banks to retail?????

Is this chip just dead due to a bad flash...if so can i possibly send it to you guys to fix????????????
if i had just the, no big loss but i have the lcd faceplate with usbs pro switch...you name it just for this chip.....and i really dont want to throw all that stuff away!!!
HELP!!

Well, first of all put the switches in the on,on,off,off,off position. Right, that's bank 1 selected.

See if that FRAG's - if it does, no worries.

Press power and eject together, to get to the backup BIOS - this SHOULD worl on everything but a 1.6b I think, as the FLASH bios ver is 3.01 - 3.03 was needed for the 1.6b (latest xbox versions)

Once you get into the flash BIOS menu, you can flash the chip again, but if you have a 1.6 version you're going to need the 3294v16plus version. Otherwise select the 3294.bin and flash that puppy.

Bearing in mind with all this that solder is better but even with the Xaptr, you're going to need 2 blue LED's lit on the chip and another which should be red.

See how you go.

You have just done something very wrong.... That was just a bad test.

settings i dont remember!!!originally i was trying to install this on a 1.6....Then i tried it on a 1.1 and then a 1.4!!!!
1.6 install will not work on 1.1 and 1.4 and will not work straight away if you had a 1.6 bios flashed on it.
You would need to try the backup bios.

Is the modchip lighting up any leds at all?
