You didn't get a screen at all?

Normally this happens and you just go into the config menu and flash a bios to it.

Oh my, your xbox with the chip, was installed fine, most likely the person who
gave it to you did set quickboot or stuff like that

And now you prolly left some traces that it wont boot anymore

You can't now it sounds like your whole box is hosed if you took the chip out and get the same problem.

Hello, I installed xenium chip on v1.4 board and went to test. I hear it try to boot three times and then frag, red and green. The xenium LEd was red to begin with then turned blue from memory. Rechecked connections same thing. Took the xenium out and still same thing. I checked and the chip isnt set to recovery mode. Is this recoverable? I get no boot screens at all, just a blank screen like nothings even connected. I dont ave the chip in the box at all and still have same problem.

same thing happened to me. make sure you're using thr a/v cables instead of s-video or component. supposedly the updates to the os fix this video problem.

The link you gave me is no good but i just tried switching to recovery mode on the chip with the same result. Blue light on chip .... xbox reboots twice then frags.

I'm all out of ideas at this point.

I've got the same problem on a v1.0 box.  I do get to the XeniumOS 1.0 screen and am able to flash bios from CDRW but when I try to boot with the bank 1 bios (where bios was flashed) box reboots three times ending in a blue screen with green/red on the box and blue on chip LED.  I've checked & re-checked pin alignment and d0 wire many times with same results.

Hopefully someone out there can give us some ideas to fix this.

How did you burn the CD-RW. There are some tutorials here about it. Sounds like you're booting to a blank bios.

[jtd]

Followed Xenium Creating Bios guide using Nero.  When load the bios I receive the message "OK, file loaded from cd".  So.... I asume that the bios has been flashed.  I've done this numerous times using different bios types and banks all resulting in the same rebooting issue ending in the blue screen  

But any other ideas would be appreciated.

[Rendell]

If you havnt got this sorted yet then perhaps you need to flash the bios AFTER you get the message 'file loaded'. I think that means its loaded and ready to flash.

Hey I HAVE THE EXACT same problem and my XBOX is a 1.4 as well.

The only difference is the color of the LED on my Xenium chip is RED (Solid), I have checked all soildering etc and even done multimeter checks and everythign seems find. I have even tried to boot from a EVOX disk and tried to flash the bios but nothing seems to be working.

I really hope someone has an answer to this.

Here are some of the other things  ihave tried that might help you guys:

1. Try booting the box by using the Eject Button
2. When the box boots try pressing the White button on your controller if that doesnt work try pressing the black bios.
3. Try booting with a Slayer or Evox disk
4. try and using the other d0 point on your box (you have two a top d0 and a bottom d0)

RECHECK your d0.

Guys i feel  your pain trust me i have been going through it, for the 2 months i have had my xbox its been 1.5 months broken with this problem!

I will keep watching this thread if anyone fixes it please let me know.

[drRAVALOT]

did you even try recovery mode....that helped me when i had this problem

[ncaissie]
