Flashing Orange/red
« on: March 25, 2005, 06:43:00 PM »
I was brought an xbox today with the following diagnosis:

System worked for approx 60- 90 min then would turn off and on reboot power LED would flash RED/ORANGE.

I removed the chip and system acts the same. I know about the flashing red/orange tutorial on the scene but thats not for a 1.6. Anyone have any ideas?

I had that same problem with a 1.1 and the V2 and I found the solution was to sell it to either Llama or XboxRepairGuide. It's more than likely gone man.

GREEN/RED Flashing:
Probably a bad chip or bad image.

SOLID GREEN/No EJECT/No AUDIO/No VIDEO:
Probably a bad solder point. Check all your points again.
It could also be a heat problem , make sure your fan is connected and don't put your xbox near heat sources. You can also try to open the top of the xbox and check if it goes better.

SOLID GREEN/No AUDIO/No VIDEO:
This is probably a problems with your audio settings. Try to boot your xbox with a standard a/v pack instead of a HD pack.

ORANGE/GREEN Flashing:
No AUDIO/VIDEO (A/V) pack.
This may also be down to a solder splash on the board or a damaged track.

ORANGE Flashing:
This may also be down to a solder splash on the board or a damaged track. May also be due overheating.

GREEN for half a sec then RED Flashing:
Bad/Corrupted or Empty Eeprom.

SOLID RED:
System overheated , hardware failure , ...

FLASHING RED:
Dead, broken or empty eeprom.



one, did you make sure the fan is plugged back in, Heat issues.  Two, did you solder the chip in?  did you check for a lifted trace etc...
