I have a problem with my Xbox. Xbox will no longer boot, you see a blank screen, no audio and video but the LED light turns Flashing Red and Green. The call customer service message don't come up. not sure about the verson 2004-01-05. How ca u tell the verson?? Please help.
It has not been modded in any way. I only opened it up to check power card. everytime I boot it up it flash. I check my DVD drive and hard drive on another Xbox it work. So is not that. I think it has to be the motherboard. Please give me more help.
Shoot, if you didn't open it, you could have sent it in to Microsft and gotten it fixed for decently cheap. Usually there is a screen that comes up with an error on it, and the list of what the error means is in the data below. But you say that you are not getting any picture? That is really strange!
0 - any - No error (duh)
1 - bootldr - Unknown exactly, something to do with checking the motherboard
2 - bootldr - Eeprom check failed
3 - bootldr - ??/not used
4 - bootldr - Ram check failed
5 - kernel - HDD not locked (retail bioses require the hd to be locked)
6 - kernel - Cannot unlock HDD
7 - kernel - HDD timeout
8 - kernel - No HDD found
9 - kernel - HDD parameters (PIO/DMA/or size {debug}, certain size minimum is required for debug)
10 - kernel - DVD timeout
11 - kernel - No DVD Found
12 - kernel - DVD parameters (PIO/DMA)
13 - kernel - Dashboard launch fail (due to missing/bad key, or anything else that would prevent it from running) and the dashboard didn't specify why it failed.
14 - dashboard - Error loading dashboard (dashboard generic error)
15 - - ??/not used
16 - dashboard - Other files to do with dashboard / dashboard settings (specific dashboard error)
17 - - ??/not used
18 - - ??/not used
19 - - ??/not used
20 - kernel - The dashboard was attempted to load and failed; It was a cold boot, and the dashboard didn't specify why it failed, but it (for some reason) needed to be noted that the dvd passed the challenge/response authentication
21 - anywhere - This error says that the machine was booted to display a error, basically someone told the machine to reboot (or launch a xbe) with this flag, and the error code just means its been rebooted by the flag
In closing:
21 was the highest number I could find, I don't think any thing is past that. And for the unknown ones, I couldn't find any reference to them at all, I don't believe they are used.
