yes the chip led should aways be on when the xbox is on. unless you have it disabled with dip switch 4. but even if you get it to light up it doesnt always mean thet the chip is lined up correctly. maybe you should try to find someone in your area to help you with this because you are having way to many issues. maybe you know someone that reads at a 9th grade reading level and can take some time and read other posts in this forum and learn something.
