1. you didnt do a very good job
2. Adapter is broken
3. corrupt bios
but the problem is that DEFINATLY that one or more of the LPC points arnt getting through to the chip, your d0 is fine though

and if the spring is making good contact, once you get it to work or get it to flash red and green, yourw on your way, yes
you want it to flash red and green and reboot three times, that means your d0 is good
since it isnt flashing red and green, then im pretty sure that there is a d0 problem the d0 problem i had was that the
spring was going through the d0 via and was toughing the metal sheilding on the bottom, so what i did was put a piece
of tape under the d0 point on the metal shielding

I hope too... But i sent several mails to easybuy and they don't seem to answer.
My Do connection is bad, but LPC too. 5 or 6 times i had the 3 reboot stuff, but most part of time, i have the ms bios/dash. It means that when my Do is well connected my Lpc holes are not.
I will try the tape stuff, thx for the advise.

auburn, u've got to download a bios (xecuter for exemple) and a dashboard (evox is one of the best). U can find those on mirc ( #[email protected] ). U can find tutos on the xoodus site or on xbox-scene

| With the solderless adapter, do you still have to solder in the P and E points to use the mode 4 functions? Do you need to solder P and E points to use the eject trick that turns off the mod? Thanks |
you'll need to solder in P/E even with the solderless adapter

| hey i set up the mod chip yesterday and took a 1mb bios and used the bios split program in tool secton to get it down to 256k. I inserted it into the xbox when then bios asked me for it. it said it was good and accepted it , turned itself off(reboot) and now its just black. I cant even get the xbox dash to come up.....anybody can help me? |
Wha? I didn't know that's possible... to me, taking a 1MB bios and making it 256k sounds like you cut out a bunch of its code.Maybe that's the problem?
And are you using Matrix or Chameleon? Cause if Chameleon, you coulda just used Mode 3.

You could wait for someone elses advice or you can try reflashing it-from my understanding, there's a cromwell bios in each bank in mode 1.
