have you flashed the bios, or are you just using "cromwell 1.8" (found on the chip when shiped)?
make sure youve installed it right too.
ONLY the solderless adaptor is supposed to touch the motherboard, if you have the solderless adaptor on top of the chip TAKE IT APART NOW!!! once you have the adaptor Aligned to the motherboard-which i was able to do without the extra pins, the thin wire in the "D0" hole, and have it screwed in- just plug the chip into the adaptor face down. by that i mean plug the 10 wires sticking up into the 12 hole plug on the bottom of the chip. that really shouldnt take 10 minutes. there might be some confusion, as its shipped with plastic pieces covering the holes-TAKE EM OFF YOU RETARD!
FYI- you cant flash your chip from cromwell or evox, unless you have A15 soldered to the chip with a wire. At least to the best of my knowledge... thats the only purpose of risking ruining your xbox during soldering. my suggestion is to buy the flash device sold for 15$. if your wondering if you should solder the points E or P to the chip using wires, and you only want to get evox to work- DONT. both (eject and power)are software controllable. just thought i'd clear that up.
to answer a problem with the L.E.D: the chip has a feature- if you turn on the xbox with the eject buttin or you eject b4 you see the XBOX logo- the chip doesnt turn on so you can play xbox live. this is comming from the back of my head so you might want to read a review on the chip or somthing first.
somthing that will piss you off: you could have bought the chip a few months ago for 25$ and get the flash device for free!!!
