HI it's been a little while since i first posted asking for help, but i'm having problems again. If you do not recall I tried to install my x3 with an xapt3r 1.6. But the thing sucked after I found out how impossible the thing was to get working. So...fast forward...today I solderred my x3 in and thought I did a dam good job of it to...until I finally turned it to test it, no video, no sound, and it starts green light, then blinks off, then green, blinks off, goes green, then frags. any ideas, pls lemme know. By the way my x3 external control thing doesnt light up, not sure if related. Also, long / short press foesn't matter; same result. Thanks for any help.

thanks for the info, i re-soldered everything and i had a problem with the "do" wire . if i can't use that spot anymore where the do wire is for the v1.2 is their another option for me to bypass that spot by soldering to another area on the board ??

hi, the alternate is the one they show in all the tutorials i have seen. from the pic it says the primary is on top of the motherboard but difficult to do. The board on the pic is different than the one i have . mine is a v1.2 not sure of the board on pic. do you think at this pint i a screwed or can the situation be fixed by another point ?? the one on top of the motherboard is difficult since the pic is not for that board.
can the flashing yellow and green be fixed?? i was thinking of using the desolder and with the slodering iron carefully trying to suck all the execss up from around the board. not sure if it works , thought to ask first.
What is the wheel on the x3 ce modchip for ?? it swivals around left and right but i don't know if by moving it before that i may have made it not
work??
i tried to resolder the do wire on the xbox motherboard and now it turns off and on 2 times yeallow and green and the third time it goes red and green not sure. i have been looking at another xbox motherboard off ebay or another place. should i look for another motherboard at this time you think??

the wheel is nothing its only if you have an LCD for the xbox....

hello,
i am back again trying to mod the xbox . i have had great sucess at modding the 360 and finding alot of the games with iextreme firmware and all that good stuff. only thing is the xbox baffles me lol
my question is i had to dump the old motherboard and replaced it with a new one and am using my old hard drive. i got an error code 6 and it says it can not unlock the hard drive. can the x3 chip override this feature and if so how ?

So first off, I love that this site is running on coldfusion. :)
Ok so I recently got an Xecuter 3CE chip, and installed with soldering. Now I am by no means a soldering expert but I'm reasonably good with the iron. So I installed the chip, and now I when I power it on with the chip seated, the machine like tries to power up three times and then the eject button flashes RED/GREEN/RED/GREEN continuously but I get NO VIDEO at all, nada, bubkiss.
However, if I unseat the chip, the xbox powers up normally and I see the splash screen. This is either an xbox 1.4 or 1.5 (FOCUS chip).
Here is a photo of the bottom of the motherboard where you can see the D0 solder and also the solders on the pin header: http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2217/2198087469_aa15a668f0_b.jpg
Here is the HDD lead:

and the LAN lead:

I just want this thing working, you wouldn't BELIEVE how long I had to wait for the chip to come in the mail...
