Title: Date Keeps Being Set To 12/26/03
Post by: Chunks on February 01, 2004, 09:40:00 AM

Sometimes my xbox powers on/off 3 times and then flashes red/green.  Normally I would think this is a problem with my chip, but the chip is fine.  It's aligned correctly and working great.

But for some reason every so often i have to try and boot my xbox a few times before avalaunch will load up.  And when it does it says "fixing invalid date setting".  
Could this date setting thing be screwin' things up somehow?  cuz if i go to MS dash and set the clock again, things seem to be fine for a while.

Whenever your Xbox reboots the 3x your clock is reset automatically.
in that regards I'd suspect your Red/green flashing is actually causing your clock problems

My guess is a small misalignment/loose wire/loos cable or possible xbox pushing against chip that occasionaly causes the red/green.
