ok i have a update    ive changed the thompson for a samsung  changed the yellow power wire and the ide cable and it still does it   and you dont have to put a game in  you just have to open the dvd drive all the way  then when you close it  all it does is flash green   it will not load a game and when you push the power button it takes about 5 seconds for it to turn off when the light is flashing    anyone have any ideas    could it be the power button  or the motherboard (dont see how)   just let me know ill try it

ok someone said it could be a bad bios   so if i softmod it and run xecuters bios   would it override m$ bios or would it just run long enough to load a game then M$ bios  take back over
