RE: XBOX problems

["David Balharrie" <davidj@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Lee and Gareth thanks for your help. The flash screen wouldnt appear so I
couldnt get this far. The box would switch on and off 3 times and then FRAG
on the eject buttton. The LED on the switch board never lights which is
also
incorrect. I am sure I have a broken mod so I'm going to return it and get
a
replacement next week.

A second box that I modded today worked fine and I now have XBMC running on
it.

>From memory, the new Xecuter don't come with a useful bios loaded. You
need
to locate a bios like the Evox M7, rename it to bios.bin and burn it to a
CD
(along with 50MB of filler). Put that disk in the Xbox and boot it. The
Cromwell bios on the modchip will look for that bios.bin file and reflash
itself with it. The Evox disk doesn't have the bios files in the root of
the
disk (and I think they are out of date).

Hi guys,
I'm hoping someone could point me in the right direction as to what is
wrong
with my mod. I have fitted the Xecuter 2.3B Lite Plus no solder mod to an
xbox this morning. I can get the two blue leds to light up and
greeny/yellow
one. The microsoft dash will load.  I then powered down the box and
flicked
the switch across to enable the mod. This appeared to work and but I got
the
message No Bios Update Found... Hacking!  I left it on this screen with
the
EvoX dvd in the drive. When I returned it was still displaying the same
message. I powered down the xbox and now when I switch it on it powers
off,
then on, then off then on again with the eject button flashing red and
green. It didn't do this before.  Any ideas what might be wrong?  Have I
got
a broken mod or worse still a broken xbox?  The microsoft dash still works
BTW.  Thanks in advance for any help any of you can give.

Dave
