ARE YOU HOLDING THE POWER BUTTON or HOLDING THE EJECT BUTTON.. OR HOLDING BOTH POWER AND EJECT for 3 Seconds when tring to boot.
Is the MODCHIP in MODE 4.. ONLY in MODE 4 (ON, ON< OFF, OFF) with the MOD work with the P&E wires.

i unhooked the p & e points...and it isnt working....also i have checked the d0 point a hundred times...and it wont work....

I don't think you can fry your chip unless you specifically hooked up something incorrectly. You may wish to turn dip 4 to ON and see of you can get the Chameleon to flash blue. If it does, you are on track and your BIOS might have just gotten fried.

it is mode 0...there all off....like it was when it came outa the box....when i hook up the p & e points and unhook them does that make the chip need to be mode 4 forever after?...
-
Dip 4 on is still Mode 1, but now you will boot into Bank 1. This should still have the Cromwell BIOS in it. If you screwed your BIOS in Bank 0, this is the best way to tell!

i booted it up in bank 1....still didnt work....so if i try mode 4 will that work?
-
i booted up the chip in mode 4...but the didnt have the p & e points installed....and of course it just booted up the reg ms dashboard....i want to get it to boot up without the p & e points installed then install them later....i just wanna get it to boot back up...and i cant get it...
-
anyone out there...i booted it up in in bank1 and it just booted up the regular dashboard....i tried mode 4 without the p & e hooked up and it just booted to reg dashboard...so i dunno what to do...any suggestions
thx guys

You have either shorted something or your adapter is not making good connection with the MOBO. Are you sure you had everything hooked up correctly?

i have realigned the adapter and d0 wire about a 100 times....cant get it to work....think i shorted something out when i hooked up the p & e points without having it in mode 4?...is there any mode i can try that might work if i messed it up somehow lol...i just dont know what to do....
thx
-
Having it in mode 4 is not the issue. If you truly have shorted something, it would have been due to two wires touching, or connected to the wrong wires, etc. That is all I can figure.
Make sure that no wires are touching, and you have closed off all open splices with electrical tape.

well the 2 p & e wires could have touched each other while i was installing them....so that is a possibility....i have a new one on the way.....but i got a question....do i have to use the wire taps or can i just strip the ends and strip the wires in the middle and attatch them that way and wrap them with electrical tape....and i will be careful not to let anything touch each other...would that work? or do i have to use the wire taps?
-
I recommend the wire taps. The only problem I see with electrical tape is that your Xbox gets pretty warm inside, and that tape is not going to be enough to hold wires together.
