hey poppeseed tough luck, in the xyz thread you said something about the dvd region being a 1 and now its a 0 or something of the sort, i dont know where but i remember reading about that. personally my box has no region dont really know how that works but, that could be a problem. from what i hear zodiak is one of the most reliable eeprom sellers around, if he did send you the wrong one im sure he'd help you out. try switching the dvd region and if that doesnt work then i would start thinking about buying a new box, but if it happened to me, i would just try and wait till the new xbox came out. hahah and before i figurd out my problem i spent around 3 hours with M$ tech support, and an hour with my isp, hahah my neck hurt like a b*tch. im really sorry i cant give ya the info you need but, just keep looking someone somewhere has had this same problem. I spent about 12 hours looking in forums before i found what cured me. Maybe try switching the mode to pal and then back to ntsc, thats what i did, then see what your codes are. maybe we can go from there, just an idea,
