I have been working with a chameleon chip and two xbox's for over two months now. Since that time, I have swaped out the chip and sodderless adapter twice and have been having the same issue. It seems that either something I did or the original chip & sodderless adapter fried both my Gen 1 mobo's!
X power cycles with chip or without. Power cycle consists of:
- Power on
- Immedate power off
- Power on
- Immedate power off
- Power on - Stays on with blinking red and green eject button
I checked the toturials and found that the red and green flashing (at the end of cycle) means bad image or bad flash on chip.
Can a volatage regulator help here, maybe some magical Nvram clear on the board that I didn't know existed? Honestly I'll try anything! I can't even go buy a new X because local stores have sold out and are holding inventory for the hoildays.

Any ideas? Thanks for your help,
