    You know, my Xbox is doing the same thing right now. I just opened it up one day cause a friend wanted to see if he wanted the Xecuter Chip or not, and When I put it back together, it turns on, then back off 3 or 4 times. I don't know what's going on. I hope someone can answer why this is happening. I thought it was just a wiring problem, but I'm probably wrong.

    I've Tried pushing both the Power and Eject button at the same time, and I can't get to the BIOS screen to re-flash it. Do the DIP switches have to be a certain way?

    Alright when I get home I'll try it out. Also the yellow wire that goes from one part of the chip to the power buttons (it is located right under the front of the HDD, and DVD Drive) one of them is pinched. Could this be an issue to it not working?

    I just realized that one of the pins from the Solderless adapter wasn't in place. Also one end of the adapter sticks up a little, so maybe if I can make it sit snug, it may start working.

    You don't need a programmer to re-flash your Xbox. Just press both the power and eject button so that a pink/purple color turns on, on the DIP switch. That should take you to the BIOS screen, and then you can re-flash by inserting a disc, or by FTPing.

    I think for the DIP switches you have to have them all off, or on, I'm not sure, but I know that they all have to be on or off. Then press the power and eject button and see if that works. The chip should be on for this to work.

    Bomb12guy, do you have the Xecuter 3 CE? Because what I figured out is that your chip is probably not on right, or that the pins are not all connected correctly. Make sure that all of your connections are right, and then try turning on your Xbox. I've taken apart my system 5-6 times and finally fixed the problem. It just takes some time.
