Maybe you could try it out with a standard AV pack connected.
The xbox should detect that it doesn't has a component out and revert to normal video mode.

If you have the error screen, do you have a number in the upper left corner of the screen?

regards.

Hi,

I just tried with the normal AV cable and got the same thing.

On the error screen I have a number 16.

Thanks for the help!

A Quick Google shows a problem with the dashboard

see Llamma's Explanation of Error Codes

I would figure that somehow there are files missing that won't allow the $dash to boot correctly.  If possible, try a recovery from a Evox boot disc, or the likes.  Hope this helps.

Ok, I have made up an EvoX boot disc and have been trying to get it to read without any success. I made one according to instructions on the N00b's Guide To Your First EvoX Boot Disc thread, on CD-RW then CD-R and DVD+R. When I try booting the regular way I continue to get Error 13 or 14 and booting with the chip it just hangs on the 'Big X' screen. I have tried each disc several times after learning they don't always read great the first time.

So... is there enough information here for anyone to offer a diagnosis? What could have gone wrong? Is there something else I could try?

The confusing thing is that I don't think I stuffed around with the dash files too badly. I updated XBMC and only after switching to NTSC and 1080 video did I have trouble booting up a dash.

Ok, here's an update. I believe the Hdd in this xbox (Seagate 160GB) to be fried in some way. I cannot boot anything with it, including EvoX boot discs or Slayer's 2.6. That also means I can't unlock the drive very easily to check it out further.

I placed a retail hdd from my other modded xbox in there and it boots up without any problems.

I will be having a look at ways to test the Seagate drive and reinstall on there.
