are u getting the standard frag on the eject light?
if so it may just be the bios is flashed it with its fucked up in a wierd way making it go loopy.

either way your gonna have to do a matrix/29wire reflash of the tsop to fix (unless its somethin other than the tsop)

If the TSOP is flashed with a bad bios then it's toast unlless you can get it Offboard flashed.
If this is not available, then the only way to get life support is down the modchip route.

Oh, and I'm not getting any "christmas lights" on the eject button. Everything looks "normal" when I boot, except my TV screen is blank, as if the Xbox was never turned on.

When I hit Eject instead of Power, the eject button flashes with normal green lights, but the tray won't open.

Howdy,

Madness. I'm having the same issue with an xbox a bud gave me. The stranger part is that it does everything yours is doing except it's NEVER BEEN MODDED. guy had it for a half a year and it just went stupid. Strange.

Checked your cables? Might also be worth checking the solder joints under the power connector (the one on the motherboard, not the AC one).

Did you check your connections? I had a similar problem just recently and found that My DVD ROM was not fully connected to the mobo. Also, as far as your dvd-rom not working properly, it could just be your dvd rom. Try it with another dvd rom and see if that works.

leetass: you mean you did not even flash your TSOP? Are you able to open the tray?

Sorry, I forgot that you can't open the tray. I can open the tray just fine, but the enigmah video selector still doesn't work on this system.

leetass I have pretty much the identical problem as you have. The xbox seems to boot fine, the dvd rom will open, but there is no audio or video. This was after a TSOP flash from evolution with evox 2.4. After the flash the xbox booted fine once and now...the problem. have you figured anything else out with yours. I have tried another A/V cable and no difference.

I figured out my own problem and it was basically a stroke of luck that did it. The resistor at point R7R10 on the back of the motherboard was gone and after a bit of testing, and replacing it with another from a dead motherboard, the xbox was booting in fine order again. The resistor is a 50 Ohm resistor if anyone is wondering. I don't know if this will help anyone with the same problem but it was the answer here.

I just flashed my x2 lite with a evox bios by mistake and my xbox is now toast. It was a 256... now all I get is flashing lights.... any way out of this??

i have the same symptom here with one of my xbox's, no picture, no sound, dvd tray wont open. i tryed installing 2 different modchips but it didnt change anything. i didnt get any christmas lights just a steady green and sounded like it was booting properly. i would try what that guy said fixed his but i have no clue wat he was talking about.

Hi guys

I've exactly the same problem but the difference is that I didn't try to flash anything. I was just ftping and all of the sudden my evoX screen froze. After 3 reboots, black screen, no audio and dvd tray won't open.

I don't think my modchip is toasted, neither my HDD so maybe there is a problem with the mobo (nvidia chip, a/v connector?).

Anything new from you guys having the same problem?

Thanks.

I've never done a TSOP flash but I'd imagine if you bought a modchip and installed it you'd beable to fix your xbox that way... and if you really wanted could then re-flash your TSOP through the modchip

if you have a modchip with a bad flash... take it out and try to boot a game or just go do the dashbaord if you still have the originial MS dashboard. otherwise install a new modchip

I had exactly the same simptoms back in the day when I installed my enigma chip (yeah the really old one) when not soldered correctly it did what you guys are describing but as soon as I took it out it worked again....

someone correct me if I'm wrong....
