i accidently flashed a 1.4 (focus chipset) machine with a 256k 4977 BIOS. now when the machine turns on i get a red and green flashing

stupid mistake i know - but i was in a real rush and used the wrong memory card.

what can i do to rectify the situation now? thanks

You can either get a LPC modchip so your xbox will boot up and run, but you wont be able to disable the chip, so the best solution is probably to get an LPC cheapmod, 29-wire Mod unless you plan on having a mod chip installed from this point on.

thanks for the swift reply. i don't mind having the chip installed all the time as the machine is only going to be used as a media center. just looking for the cheapest solution.

one supplier has a 9 wire lpc modchip for £29.99 (http://www.yorvik-consoles.co.uk/main.html#) - would that do the job or does it have to a be a 29 wire job? im not concerned about rescuing the onboard tsop - just leave it dead. all i need is a working machine that i can whack a hd in.

with a 29 wire modchip you can fix the tsop

If you want to fix the TSOP, you need a 29-wire modchip. If you just want to be able to use the Xbox (and mod it) any modchip will do. If you want to use Xbox Live you can either get a 29-wire chip and fix the TSOP, or an LPC modchip with 2 or more banks and store a retail BIOS in one of the banks.
