I am wondering exactly what is wrong. The solderless or the X-chip? I want to just end this and buy what I need. If the X-chip works then I buy the solderless adaptor; if the solderless adaptor works(it lights all 5 blue leds) then all I need is another chip.
About your friend and mine, this sucks. Mine saw so much could be done with XBMC and how great it works with photos and video and music... he LOVED it and asked me to do the same for his. Now I look like an incompetent jackass, well a jackass without his xbox that is.
So many companies for mods have fallen from grace lately...

Very funny. I am in the same boat. My friend has my xbox until I fix his. All the things that I promised he could do with his "new" xbox look like just won't happen. I tried to install X-Lite on his 1.6b xbox and had the same problem as you. You can see the details in my post a while back. Nobody replied. I just resoldered everything and still wouldn't work. Since I have the X-Lite, flashing with a different bios is not an option for me since I don't have another xbox.
From the lack of response, I am inclined to conclude that X-chip doesn't work with 1.6. Solderless or lpc rebuild.
