No replies yet... :-(

Question- I'm still trying to determine if it's the chip/bios itself, or if it's a possible bad connection, although it looks fine to me. Even the D0 connection looks good. Now, I've noticed that if I remove the Cham chip and boot with just the adapter, my xbox boots fine right to the MS bios, no errors. Is this what SHOULD be happening if the adapter is correctly installed w/no chip? Our should it be getting errors?

is it quite bright ?

if so I recomend RMA .. if not then double check the install .. and try it out on the matrix programmer .. when u click scan (in xp.exe) you should get the blue flashing LED .. if not .. RMA

Regards

scan just scans the programer to see which chip and mode (for chameleon) is connected

but it also initiated the the comands to the flash the LED

The if you remove the chip and just the adapter remains, it should boot up normally. The adapter isnt changing anything in the xbox, such as connecting anything together, it is simply providing a nice connection for the chip.

Ok, making a little progress here. A friend of mine also has a Chameleon w/ adapter. We popped his chip out and my chip in, and same thing... solid blue light, boots to MS bios. So it is the chip, but I don't know if it's just a matter of it's missing a bios, or more than that. I will try the scan thing tomorrow, what all information will it tell me? If the chip is physically ok but just not programmed, will it indicate that? I'm hoping that's the case.

Also, if I just need to program it, I am assuming I have two options, but not 100% sure if they would work. A) program it using my old Matrix programmer, or have my friend boot his console/chip and then "hot swap" chips and flash. Will these work?

Thanks again!

I just plugged the Chameleon chip onto my old Matrix programmer, to hopefully verify what bios (if any) it has. Again, the blue light stays on solid, as soon as the programmer is plugged into LPT1. Should this happen? I cannot read or even scan, it says 'NO DEVICE PRESENT'. Does this mean it can't see the programmer, or it can't see the Chameleon? I did install a fresh battery, even tried another pc.

Like Xodus said you need to RMA it. It sounds bad. Like the chip itself is not good. Sorry, but have them send you a new one.
