Ok I see that I soldered the right points and they look near perfect now.
I got mecheurasia. Got it on my hdd again. Put in mechassault and go to campaign. Run Linux from there.
Then I go to flash bios and my bios is not showing there. I had it in there a try before and hit it, but it didn't work. Now its not even showing up in there.
I do not know what to try now. I am exhausted. Been reading and reading and asking and trying.
If I lock the hdd to the box will I be able to boot msdash? Do I need to do something with the eeprom if I want to do this, b/c remember this xbox came with a hdd that was locked and it couldn't use. I'm getting the feeling I can't flash from the modchip. I don't know anymore. I'm exhausted.
