i just flashed my xbox 360 s with drive 9504 with LT+ for slim. i was very careful when opening the console(not even a single grain came off). I exercised extra caution when removing the ribbon.
I did not flash it using any additional hardware;just my PC(on board SATA) and the console for power. The flashing was a success and i am able to boot backups as expected. This is not my first time flashing an xbox so i am not new to flashing it.
The problem is when i switch the console on and leave it, it beeps(as though someone pressed eject) about every 3-4mins.
I have how ever not tried to play any game with it to see if it still beeps when playing games. I will try reflashing it with stock firmware to see the result as well.
i would appreciate any advice on how to make the beeping stop and/or if possible the cause as well. I cannot tell at this stage if its a hardware issue(ribbon) or its just the consoles way of flagging you...
thanks in advance

it shuts down when i am playing the game. i am 100% sure that i did not damage the ribbon(well not conciously). i need advice bad. i can boot back ups just fine but the beeping sound keeps on coming and shuts down the console. please help.

Try taking the ribbon out and reseating before you flash back

I managed to fix it.
In my bid to understand the problem i tried playing the console WITHOUT the front faceplate(ribbon). there was no beep whatsoever and even played a video game for about 30mins(i even dared to play it on LIVE).
But as soon as i connect the ribbon and switch the console on the beep came back.
Mind you i flashed the console with just my PC no usbpro or similar hardware was used.
My initial flash was done with the ribbon NOT connected so i concluded that it didnt recognise the firmware or something(i might be wrong).
I also made sure to wipe my fingerprints off the ribbon( it might be unnecessary but i had to make sure i left no stone unturned)
THIS IS WHAT I DID:
1. I connected the ribbon and cleaned it to make sure that no fingerprints remained.
2. I reflashed to stock firmware WITH the ribbon connected this time.
3. Tried it and there was no beep whatsoever.
4. I once again flashed the drive with the Custom firmware(LT+ slim) WITH the ribbon connected.
5. I tried it and this time no beeping.
OMG the beeping is back after fixing the case. i strongly believe its the ribbon now. will play without the front plate until i get replacement. :(

So it seems that the X360USBPRO isn't necessary, right ? I have the old Maximus Xtractor and spear. Is that good enough to flash the Slim 9504 ? Was debating on ordering that X360USBPRO, but if it isn't needed well even better :D

It sounds as the OP's issue is a faulty ribbon rather than due to his onboard SATA. I know plenty of people that have used onboard, you just need to have a compatible chipset. I always personally use a 6421a

idk about you, but for Jungle Flasher to see my drive, i had to have a second install of Windows 7, with the bios set to IDE Mode before installing Windows 7, you should try that

It sounds just like i am ejecting the drive then changes to the sound of switching off the console. it both sounds actually.
i now simply play it with the ribbon removed. i power the console on with my controller and eject with the controller as well.
i will NEVER remove the ribbon for any other flash that i do on any console, learned my lesson...the hard way LOL

You know that flashing and using your console to power the drive can get you flagged right. Always use a external power source to be safe. Just fyi
