I think removing the chip is a bit premature, have you tried downloading the os update ISO then booting from that? you may need to flick the recovery switch on the chip.

Sup this is drDRAVALOT's side kick who dose everything for his xbox. anyway my question is do you flick the switch and then flick it back or flick it once and leave it on the right. Also do that before the OS or try to the OS first. I pretty sure my other friend did a horrible job at flashing the V1.1 bios becuase he did it though is router and i dont think it was done properly.

yep it should boot straight to the os update screen if you have the update cd in the tray, going back to what gtofablus1 said, make sure you are using the original AV cables as the original o/s wont support any others.
