im having the same problem, ive installed a X2.1 i think along time ago in my xbox and 3 X2.2's in friends xboxes since then, all worked fine first time. well i got my first 2.3 chip for a friend and it reboots 2 times then frags, ive resoldered my header pins 2 times and the d0 piont more times than i can count, still it does the same thing and my solder looks great, no leaking onto other traces or touching any other point. the chip boots fine and all lights come on like they should.
i dont know if the chip i have has a bios but im assuming it has the cromwell on it and the box im puting it in is a 1.4 i think, focus chip and from usa. im also assuming that when the mod is working properly it should boot, eject the tray with no video output and it should let me do my thing with the bios. its probly something stupid im overlooking but i dont know that that would be.....
help......
i think im starting to go insane and i do feel better knowing im not the only one with this problem, but from what ive read here i havent seen a definitive answer on the solution and im am kinda hopeing for one here and everyone will be happy and the subject will never be brought up again, i was proud to say i had everything work the first time before and now i cant say that, grrrrrrrrr. everything is hooked up right but it doesnt work, why, WHY, WHAT DID I DO TO DESERVE THIS!!!!!
4:00 in the morning, cant think any more, must scream...............................................................................................................................................................................................................
