I have an xbox with the x3 chip installed. It has a Seagate 120g hard disk in it
When i turn it on it boots up to the xbox screen and gets nothing more. I had loaned it to a friend and have been told that at one stage error 7 came up on it.
I have the front panel with the lcd, hard disk and lan lights on it also.
I took the cover off the xbox and turned it on. the hard disk light comes on and stays on but i cant hear the hard disk power up. I plugged the hard disk into a computer and it powers up and detects ok.
Where can i go from here?!?
:unsure:

1. Plugged computer power supply into hard disk and it spins up ok.
2. Plugged IDE cable from xbox to hard disk with computer power supply. Wont spin up but makes a small noise when you turn the power supply off.
3. Changed hard disk to a 40gb and same problem happens.
4. Checked all connections inside xbox and all are plugged in.

you can if you want, but that would be a waste in my view, if you didnt fix your current box.
i still belive that the problem is the psu not functionign correctly. i think you shoudl try to get your hands on a new psu before you buy a new box
