Ok, you guys have to help here.  I installed my Matrix about a month ago and for some reason it is still working...  I'm not sure why this is.  I installed it correctly and have been swaping the bios more times than a porn star switches partners during a gang bang.

Wasn't this thing designed to break?  I can't get mine to do this.  If someone is having the same problem as me or has any info on what I am doing wrong please let me know!

Same here... happy user

The walrus tusk did it for me... not a single problem since installation two months ago.  Try it... you'll like it.

                                    Where did you get the walrus tusk?  Do you have a part #?

Congrats, Duff.

My Dad used to love Chevettes.... it was hit or miss, though; he'd get one that would go 300,000 miles before it gave him problems, and another that was nothing but trouble.

Moral to the story?

                                    Hmmm trying to figure out how to tell when my Matrix will reach 300,000 miles?

                                    I still need that part #.  I don't want to get the wrong one.  Damn Matrix might still work if I get the wrong tusk.

Ok, I went to radioshack and asked them about their walrus tusk's.  Unfortunantly they were out of stock and didn't know for sure when they would be in.  So I am checking on ebay for them. Does anyone know if this one will work? (click here)
There are actually 2 walrus tusks with this offer.  If these work I was wanting to know if someone will go in halves with me.  Let me know!

no one said your chips didnt work

what WAS said was that they are an overpriced CLONE of FREE code and data that costs $4 to make

oh happy day when you all realise that 256k is just not good enough (but of course you can butcher your onboard flash - I forgot about that)

but hey doesnt that include soldering ?

kinda rules you lot out then lol

alright, TO MATRIX!! and hopefully not repeat my Xecuter fiasco (which did actually temporarly take offline an xbox, later fixed thanks to a lot of luck and a couple generous individuals)

i cannot believe you are blaming your poor soldering on the modchip itself

please help me, i've put my xbox with ALOT of wear and tear to no avail. i can't break my matrix or my xbox. do you think i should solder my matrix into place? would that help? should i flash my eeprom with a blank one? hmmmm..... theres got to be something i can do. maybe if i went into my car, drove 185 mph, and threw my xbox out the window at a 18 wheeler it would break.



EDIT: I tried my idea and it didn't work. i broke the case on my xbox  but thats about it. i havn't even managed to strip the screw on the matrix. im out of ideas. can anyone else help?
