Well heres my story...
I installed a chip in my friends xbox a VERY long time ago. I said yeah, it works with xbox live and everything (because back then it did). He ended up getting banned because xbox live doesnt allow modchips anymore :\ And now he wants me to buy a new xbox. right now, i cannot afford $200 because of the christmas season

the worst part about this is that me and him are mates from way back too and it seems he rathers his xbox than my friendship but i would love to surprise him w. a new eeprom and get him back in action. im at a loss of what to do. thanks for all your help exstaci.
