Sounds like your using solderless adapter, verify aligment is good and teh screw is snug and the plastic on the solderless adapter is touching the xbox motherboard.

The flashing lights is actual fragging, basically means modchip not attached properly or bios on modchip corrupted, but since you dont mention loading a bios to chip I can assume 1st not attached properly.

well i have tried the rubbing alcohol but the chip is properly installed, because the red light turns on. i am gonna try the rubbing alcohol. Plus i have already try installing a bios but it doesnt work.
thanks

ok. what i want u to do is put the cromwell factory bios back on the xchip that the full.bin file.
Just to make sure the xchip is wkring 100%
then RECHECK your d0
also.. unplug te chip form the solderless adaptor  then boot up the xbox (yet leave the sodlerless adaptor on the mother board) and c if it boots up normaly..
then let me know what happens.
so try those first.
if u need anything just ask!

hey i have tried everything that you guys told me but still doesnt work. The chip is properly installed cause the red light turns on and the bios works. The problem is the xbox it doesnt boot up. I mean i press the power button but what happens is that it tries to run but stops then tries again but stops again and then runs but the gree/red blinking light comes out.
Can somebody help me!!!
Thanks

If your box is starting/stopping how do you know the bios is working??

Verify solderless adapter install and all pins are alligned and plastic is flush with motherboard of xbox.

When do i know if the chip is the problem cause when my xbox was working properly even with that the crownwell bios didnt show up. So i am starting to think that is the chip the problem. Can somebody tell me if i am right?

does the light on the xchip come on?

I just bought one of these last week and I noticed an announcement on their website about what to do if you received a bad chip recently.  Mine was okay, but I can assume from the announcement that some number of bad chips must have been shipped.

[dragon_stmu]

yeap, The light on the xbox comes out but the cronwell bios never comes out, from the beginning. So maybe the chip is deffective.
thx
P.S. The Light in the xchip is properly working but the crownwell didnt show up.

Everyone listen to this guy. He is right. I got mine to work. I checked the D0 and I also put the rivets in, I hadn't before. But it is now working.

Thank you.
