Thanks for the reply........yes, I have soldered the pinset into the proper spot on the motherboard. I am in the process of attaching the wires to R3G5 and R3G3 as show here from another thread in this forum (nice pics btw)http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/85312 but I cant seem to get the wires to stay on solid for some reason......

Can anybody tell me where I'm going wrong here? I cant get my chip to activate.....no blue light at all....and when I try to flash the chip with the programmer it takes like 10 mins to go throught the process.......I dont think it should take that long to flash the chip. I beginning to think I get duped.......guess you got what you pay for......

Make sure you have a ground screw in place if there is one.

First things first, the Aladdin Live chips rocks. I've installed tons of them and they've all worked perfectly.

Second, the external programmer does seem to take forever. As long as the colored bars are SLOWLY progressing, the programming is working, so be patient.

As for your chip NOT turning on... If the blue light is coming on, I'm pretty sure your D0 connection is fine. Double check your BT wire though cuz if that's not connected properly, your chip won't turn on. Also, make sure you're holding down your power button for more than 0.5s otherwise the chip won't engage and the MS dash will load instead.

As for the ground screw, you don't need to worry about that if your xbox is version 1.4 or lower.

Let me know how it works out.
