if its error 5 your hdd is locked. If it error 21 try and boot MSdash with a game already in the dvd drive.

I dont get any number at all. Just that message in like 6 different languages.

I am running the latest X2 bios, been using ava but have thc lite and evox on there, all latest versions, I think. hdd is locked, the last time it worked I was on Live, but I don't think that has anything to do with it, loads the flubber and dies at the message screen. no number.

try downloading a retail bios from Xbins and flashing it to your xenium... same thing as booting from the tsop and see if that works.... maybe your tsop is corrupted....

EDIT: Can I just take the chip off the LPC without disconnecting the D0 and try and boot it that way? I dont want to desolder the D0 if I don't have to. Wondering If I take the chip off woud it boot to TSOP. Although I dont think its the chip thats the problem.

The only other time it did this was when I tried to do the 12volt fan mod, it would just frag, and I had a helluva time splicing the fan wires back together so it wouldnt frag when it booted. And I recently had the box apart to unlock my stock drive. So maybe I disturbed the fan wires.

hmm maybe some sort or electrial short ? I dunno this is very weird, you sure you tried booting MS dash from a flashed bank on the chip ?

Tommy Vercetti · « **Reply #9 on:** August 21, 2004, 07:24:00 PM »

I think so, I chose the bank, after I selected the 1mb config. Then It said it deted original M$ 4933 or whatever it is. But it said it ABOVE the Bank 1 section. Which I found to be weird. Ya know, like the original dash when you have other bios's in there.

I tried both, both fragged. The box has been working great for a long time. I leave it on for hours and hours, never had a problem. I am totally puzzled. I am gonna have to open it up and check the fan wires. Cuz thats the only thing I can think of.

I'll try the M$ bios again, maybe a different one this time, see what happens.
