Ok everyone, try this one on for size. Having my xbox modded by a friend. v1.5 or 1.6 /w x3 chip. He installs everything fine. Works, but cannot flash (due to PC trouble. Can't make a readable CD.)
No problem. I take the thing home and boot up. Everything is still fine, waiting for a bios. Play around with the menus (Just looking, I swear!) and decide to throw one of his failed CD's in just for fun (After copying the bios files to my computer so as to FTP flash later.)
Choose flash from CD. Tray ejects. I place CD on it. Before I can do anything, the tray closes and the screen goes black. Not knowing if this is normal, I wait. After about five minutes, no change. I eject the disk. Still no change. I reboot the system to the chip (quick tap power button) and get the proper chip status lights (blue X, hdd activity, LAN activity, all normal) but black screen and frag'ing LED. I boot without the chip (hold power putton) and the system boots to MS. Flubber normal, then switches to "Service is Needed" in about 12 languages. Subsequent reboots give only black screen or frag's while booting with chip, without chip, or in recovery mode.
So, any takers?
