Erm...lil Help Please, Should I Flick The Switch ! ! !
« on: September 11, 2007, 09:31:00 AM »


 My spare xbox with xecuter modchip has died as it keeps resetting itself when powering up,
I'm guessin the bios has been corrupted.

Now with the chip off I can get to the evox dash by switchin off the modchip & usin a softmod method
(Spintercell exploit) there I have the ability 2 flash the chip but my question here is if I flick the switch
back on at this point will I be flashing my xecuter chip or the mainboards chip which wont b good  (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif)



Oops sorry dudes did'nt mean 2 post in XBMC forum,but still stuck with this prob

Which version of XBox?  If it's a 1.6, then there's now writable portion of the BIOS.  If it's <1.6, then you'd have to have bridged some solder points on your motherboard to flash the TSOP (XBox BIOS chip).  Otherwise, the BIOS is not flashable.

Thanks for the reply pumkinut,
It's v1.2 so does that mean there a chance of muffin it up if I go ahead with the flashin?
