Nothing wrong with your chip. Your bios banks are just empty I'd say.

yeah but red on chip means bad and i've got an Xenium chip which should already be flashed, right???

Ohh and when I turn it on with the chip in the TV just stays the same, like it's not even pluged in to the Xbox.

I diddn't think it came with a cromwell bios i thought it came with the Xenium bios and then you flash your bios's through that???

Umm, well I didn't check the color on my Xenium when I turn it on. But the Xenium does have a multi colored leds. But actually you see the Xenium OS when you turn it on. Unless you have the chip plugged in the other way around. YES! try that maybe you have the chip around the wrong way.

HAHAHA Shit! didn't think of that!!! That! What i'll do is take a pic coz i dont wanna do stuff that could blow up the board

Yes because your chip should start straight to the Xenium OS if installed correctly. And if you don't have power through lpc points you will boot straight to original bios and the chip won't have any lights.

I am so dumb!!!!!!!!!!! Do you have a v1.6? If you have the chip won't work!!! All along I thought you didn't have a v1.6. Stupid me didn't read the whole title of your post.

why wont the chip work, i should be able to install the even though the bios hasnt been released yet. Doesn't the 1.0 bios boot up at all??? or is it just that no one knows how to install the chip in a 1.6

Ground Lframe
upgrade to OS2

stacker69 · « **Reply #12 on:** June 17, 2004, 01:59:00 AM »

You can install the chip but there's no support for the xcalibur video encoder just yet.

fujitech · « **Reply #13 on:** June 17, 2004, 02:19:00 AM »

I wonder why you people dont understand a straight forward
answer and you mess it up in your mind!

Anyway:

There are two ways of disabling the xyclop chip (flash section)
Either u ground Lframe so that mcpx looks on LPC for bios
or
cut the Lframe line
either way xenium will take over and load os
BUT
u need to uprade to OSv2 since v1.1 or v1.0 doesnt support 1.6xbox and its video decoder

I hope this is clear enough!

PS Start reading, or remain a n00b and if in doubt STFU and read some more!
