i dont think its the bios (because it boots up sometimes). My suggestion is to take the mod chip out, clean the pogo pins, the Lcp, and the d0 area (the Xodus website says to use alchohol and make sure you xbox is off when doing it) then realign the matrix. Hope fully that will help

If you have a v1.1 XBox, then you will need to fill the LPC points with solder. What the red/green flash means is either bad hardware (think connection) or bios. Since you seem to be workign some of the time, we know the bios is good. I had a v1.1 XBox, and I could not get the Matrix to work without filling in the LPC points. It works great now, and never "slips" out of place.

I'd just make sure everything was clean. Scrub the LPC points with alcohol, scrape off any lacquer on top of the D0 point. Get it aligned good, and screw that biznatch down tight...sounds like a bad connection to me.

Vextor-It SHOULD be fine, unless you really fried something by moving it around while it was on. Scraping that lacquer off the top doesn't matter, unless you make contact with it while it's on. If you're talking about the Matrix, you just have to move it a little tiny bit. Just make sure you can see the 3 vias in the holes up near the D0 pogo pin, and move it GENTLY (like, no more than a few millimeters either way...) Don't get in a hurry.

The biggest problem with the Matrix (and I know, I am an idiot who bought 20 of them), is that during the alignment process, you scrape off the traces next to the d0 contact. I would solder a single wire to the d0 on the back of the MoBo and solder it the the top of the plunger connector on the chip. This has worked on a few for me, however as I am sure you all know by know the Matrix has be causing a lot of problems around here. I would ditch it an go with the x2.

your d0 is good, your LPC is bad. check that and see what happens
