Well worth the small fee, Give the guy some business!

Hi, im an official "noobie" at installing modchips, however, i know alot about what u can do with it.. and such, i would like you to install my modchip but do you allow us to send our xbox to you? the reason for this is because i live in San Jose, at least a 4 or 5 hour drive to fresno or something..

Its UNBELIEVABLE you have installatiobn prices for ONLY 30-50 dollars!

Thanks!!!!

And btw, would this be negotiable?

Xecuter 2.3bLite for 30 dollars
Xecuter Installation Service: 35

because we would not like to spend so much on this xbox modchip installation and chip... its very money consuming

Ryan is amazing!!!

I have an old 1.1 with lead filled holes. This guy spent a ton of time on my box to get the solderless to work. After half the day, he got it! This guy is really cool.

I am using this guy as much as possible. I recommnend him 100%. He really knows what he is doing.

If you are looking for someone to do your mod, stop looking, you found him. I would buy the chip from him too. He has a great deal on them. It beats having to buy it somewhere else having it shipped, taking a chance it is a clone, and then shipping it all to Ryan. Cut out all of the middle men. BUY FROM HIM!!

I will be sending him my business for some time to come.

Thanks again Ryan!!

Hey, thanks. Sometimes those solderless chips are a real pain. Glad you have no problems now. Plus your Xbox looks awesome with the blue modded color startup and the purple modded one. Glad to hear that you're getting more mods near Sacramento! -Ryan

I would hightly recommend this guy.  Great prices and fast/great work.  He installed a Xenium Ice on my Halo LE 1.6 and got another 1.6 ready for me for when I get another Xenium Ice.  He let me bring it to him and had it done right there while I was watching.  

If you live in the central valley or have no problem shipping your xbox to someone, use this guy!

Thanks Ryan, I am sure I will see you again!

I added ChipsInABoxMods into my buddy list a few months ago thinking i might need a unit one day.  Late tonight (2 PM EST) i was having some trouble backing up some programs on the XBOX with my assortment of loaders.  I IM'd Chips and for an hour he was helping me out with questions and let's say, after that hour I was able to get the new software off the IRC and get in installed onto my box.  Now it's humming along.  Next Mod work I need, I will get it from Chips In A Box.  I'm already thinking of getting another premod.

Never shipped my orginal HD back after update and install of a new HD, I supplied. He tends to overcharge a little on shipping 18 dollars to ship a few hundred miles away, Cost me to ship via UPS with purchase of box (5 dollars) from store 21 dollars. Seems like a nice enough guy just watch out for a few gotchas missing from his policies.


CivicGuy:
Will repost daily until HD is sent back, (Sorry I tried to be fair, but you leave me no choice)


Will review and edit as possitive as soon when satisfied with transaction.


I do not overcharge for shipping. According to USPS, these are the rates I would have charged to 90505 8.8lbs, 2 day Priority Mail: Xbox to 90505 $16.20

My "policy" from the front page:
QUOTE
** - All hard drive installs include all software of your choice, not just the "basic" software that most modders do (email or IM me with questions or requests), as many dashboards as you'd like, customized BIOS and are locked when done so the original MS Dash will work for Xbox Live. If you would like to have your original 8gb HD back, then please state before mods are done.


You should recieve your unlocked 8gb hd soon.

Thanks,

Ryan

Ryan is excellent as usual.  He did a repair of the LPC on a 1.0 xbox that I muffed up when I tried to desolder the pin header.  He does excellent work and is very helpful.  I would recommend him to anyone.  Thanks again Ryan!

Also note: If you ever want to get onto "Live" you'll need your orginal HD back. Make sure the installer will give you back your drive.


All my previous customers that play on XBLive with a larger HD have had no problems at all. Swapping your HD back can get you banned now, read:

QUOTE
Xbox Banning Due To Drive Size?
>> From www.teamxtender.com

Currently there are issues with people getting banned on Xbox live for a number of reasons. There are many reasons people think of that this is happing... here are the following reasons:
1. The Marriage Theory: When you go on XBL with an Xbox MS marries your EEPROM to your HD serial in their database. ~Gumba
2. LPC scan: checks to see if you have a modchip installed.
3. HD contents check: checks to see if you have any illegal code on your C: and E: partions of your Xbox...

We personally tested all theories and the only one that makes sense is the marriage theory.


    If you have already gone on XBLive with a HD that I've installed, then change back to your original afterwards, you are at high risk of your EEPROM being banned under the "Marriage Theory". All HDs I install have the same exact EEPROM as before, so XBLive will not have seen any difference at all. Why would I be installing HDs just so you have to open your Xbox up and reinstall your old one?

    Why are you are telling people to change their HD (HD serial number) back just to get banned? You are also trying to start arguments on other people's topics, which may result in a ban from x-scene, please be more mature about this.

Hey guys i just got my XBOX back from Ryan, It was a pretty big project for him, so it did take some time, however i am VERY happy with the end result.  The craftsmanship is excellent, and everything looks so professional.  If you need an XBOX modder, stop right here, EXCELLENT WORK.

Once again Ryan thank you for everything, you will be getting more business from me, as well as some of my friends.

Hey, thanks for the feedback. You have to post some pics of your Xbox I did, it was by far the best premod I've done before. My friends love the color scheme of blue, (blue colormodded bios, blue Xenium Internal and External LEDs, blue LED controller ports, blue eject light, blue LED fan, cleared jewel w/blue LED ring) and now want theirs all done. Have fun! -Ryan

ktm300: What's been going on, haven't heard from you in a while, and plus I'm rarley on IM programs, how's your Xbox going?

I Just want to say thanks to Ryan for modding my Xbox he did a great job. The thing works perfectly. All my friends are drooling over my hot rod xbox. Ryan put in a new 120g hard drive and replaced a DVD drive that was on its last leg. He also added more games and programs than I'll eber have time to play. Thanks again Ryan. The mod was worth every penny and a lot more.

John 


Hey John, thanks. Have fun with your mods at the shop, you have a sic setup with your Xbox online there. I have lowering springs for my hatch, and when I get that done, I'll hit you up for a "www.ChipInABox.com" or "ChipInABox Console Mods" vinyl for my civic. Thanks again for your business. -Ryan

Finally got my HD after being persistant about harassing him to send me the drive.  Support in my experience,  was poor.

Asked for HD back in Early October finally sent November 30th.  I haven't tried the HD who know if it works as it was sent in a bubble wrap envelope, no box.  Hope your experience is better than mine.

Good luck.

Why don't you whine about the mods I did to your Xbox??

Told Again  cool.gif, thanks for all the bumps to the top! btw, there's a reason why the mods have been deleting your posts, lol.

I received my xboxs today. Two are in proper condition and the other two are not functioning correctly. One disk tray will not eject at all. And Another one simply won't read any discs (I've tried real games, backup'd games, DVD's, and other media). Please get back to me on how to fix these problems, I'm so let down that you sent me two nonworking xboxs. Email me at [email protected]

Thanks Ryan!  Just got my XBox and its a job well done.  

This guy is cool.  I had a v1.6 and an Xecuter chip.  I first tried to do it myself, but I'm an unexperienced solderer.   So, after trying to rebuild the LPC, I gave up cause I couldn't do it.  So, I emailed Ryan, and he said he can do it for me.  

After he installed it, it didn't work.  The Xecuter chip basically messed up my XBox.  Like no video, or after a couple of reboots, it would come up but freeze.  Basically, something's not right (there was a few threads on this issue with the  Xecuter chip).  And Ryan stands by his 100% parts and labor that he even bought me a new XBox and a Xenium ICE mod chip for free!  This guy is the best.  

I have my new XBox thats modded.  I'm happy.
