i have modded my xbox everything works fine but i used the m8 v16 67 blue bios off the slayer 2.6 cd when i boot the power light turns from green to red and the fan seems to run a little faster but everything works fine. when i boot the m8 v16 06 official bios is stays green i do not notice and increase in fan speed but i loose drive g. my question is does the solid red power light indicate a problem even though everything is working fine. i am using the spice mod kit and chip and i have a xbox 1.6

to answer your first question, its the bios you flashed the chip with that makes your led turn red, its perfectly ok, it also adjusts the power settings to 12v i believe, makes the fan spin faster...if you have an led fan, the lights are brighter too...just done that today..

as far as the second bios is concerned, have you tried using system settings on your dashboard to see if all of the drives are enabled...

just a quick one, probably a silly question, i replaced the xbox fan with a cool 8cm one with 4 diff coloured led's. I switched the fan speed with the 12v mod (split the black ground wire and taped it to the heat shield), noisy as hell by the way, but the led's shine much much brighter.

anyway, the fan blades face the same way round as the xbox fan did before it, but it blows a friggin gail out the back of the xbox, i assumed it would need turning around if thats the case as the gadgets inside would want all the nice air blowing over them....is this the case, do xbox fans and normal pc case fans spin the same way, am i talking out my ass...someone please advise before i take it to bits again and turn the fan round....

its just that i sat and watched the cpu temp go up right infront of me on the 'dashboard' settings screen.

regards...jim

the purpose of the fan is to pull hot air out...now if you wanted a fan to blow inside the case it would be wise to have a second fan pulling air out at the same time...if you are running just a single fan i recommend having it suck air out of the xbox...cooling is definetly a issue with modded xbox's.
