Xbox 1.0
Thomson DVD
Western Digi HD
Xecuter 2.0
evox D6 grey logo BIOS
latest evox dash
Ok.. I installed live today. I made sure to backup my c and e drive and also to turn off my chip before inserting the cd. I installed it and everything went fine, played a couple games and all. I turn off the system.. turn the chip back on and evox doesn't load. The grey logo doesn't load either. So I try a different combination of switches and nothing works. So I make an evox boot cd (cd-rw) and I am unable to get it to load (which I was able when first installing the cd last year). So it must have wiped my chip clean.. but how?!

Check the alignment of your modchip.

You tell me then what happened to it. I was playing a backup and then I do the backup and all and right after I install live (never moving the box itself) the chip is erased. I'm not a n00b, I know what I'm saying doesn't sound right or possible but it's what happened... I NEVER once had a problem with the chip before now and I've had it since it's release. If xbox live isn't the reason for it then this is one hell of a big coincidense.

Then it is a big concidence. Are you able to re-flash it?

I'd say your D0 is no longer grounded. Check that.
EDIT: When you say "neither my comp or my laptop can't detect it just like it couldn't when I first got the chip", are you implying that the state of the flashROM (hacked BIOS, MS BIOS, or blank) has anything to do with whether or not the computer can detect it?? If so, this is untrue. The contents of the flashROM have nothing to do with it.

That would cause the Xbox to frag. The only way it would appear to be unmodded is if the static miraculously wrote the MS BIOS to the chip.
Again, I vote for him to check the D0.

xeero- I meant I had to write the bios onto the chip

like I said.. I'm not a n00b, I don't have an explanation for this and now i'm out of a chip for now. I couldn't get it to write the bios today so I'm send my box to someone to see if they can get the chip working, they are more experienced witht he hardware than I am.

just an odd coincidence, perhaps a bad batch of chips from the installer (not even xecuters are perfect, lol) and the 2.0 is a little on the old side (yes, i realize there are still alot of people running enigmas with no problem, im justs aying is all)

I'm thinking the d0 point on the front got isolated in some way from the modchip d0 point , but if he said that it was soldered on...

Yes my chip was turned off during install.. yes I made sure it was on after ward when testing.. yes a reprogrammed it and it still isn't working meaning the chip is busted since I checked the points and everything is in tact.
Yes my theory sounds extreme but it could be possible. All signs (on my end at least) point to it as the answer... I have no ther answer.

Live does not delete, or reflash, or whatever to modchips.
