I have been able to fix the problem a few times by formatting the drive and putting everything back on but now that isnt working anymore

If formatting the drive and re-installing in the past has cured it it would appear maybe the HDD is going bad.
If the problem was the bios then formatting and re-installing would never have made any difference

Forget the chip. You need a new hard drive.

It would seem the problem now is something came adrift with the chip when you moved the xbox.
If you can post the pics of the chip it will help telling you how to sort this.
To post pictures host the image on somewhere like photobucket.
copy the image location from the host and click on IMG when posting, paste the image location into that box and it will display the pic.

going by that pic , i would redo all the lpc soldering , it could just be the pic quality , but it looks like you could have a problem with the top left hand connection

i also forgot to add when i press the open disc button or just tap the on button it tries to start up but cant so shuts off and then keeps trying untill u press off
(just thought it might help with diagnosis of my problem)

HackDaBox !

PS let me know which LPC pin you solder as this question has come up a few times and i don't remember from memory which pin it is and i know alot of people dont believe me on this one

HackDaBox · « **Reply #12 on:** August 30, 2005, 07:48:00 AM »

So by the time you take the xbox over to the tv and plug in all the cables for fine , no need to wait at all !

Yes the LPC is the row of holes in the motherboard that your chip connects to, yeah now they are soldered silver points.
