    Admitedly, I am as wet behind the ears as it gets. I followed the directions from a website...

    When i installed the spiderchip, it came up with the standard cromwell bios. I toggeld over to the flash bios from disc option, and put a xecuter2 bios (bios.bin) disc in the tray. it showed the flashing progress bar, and completed successfully. When it powered down and back up, the console started for about .5 seconds, shut off, tired it two more times, and on the third, stayed on with blinking green/red power.

    I've done quite a bit of searching before posting this, so please don't flame me. I figure the bios either didn't flash correctly, or it was a bad copy. Either way, it appears I'm stuck with no workable bios on the chip. Are there any homemade fixes for the spiderchip to try to flash it again?

    THANKS!!

    Agreed - unfortunately I did that nearly until by fingers bled. It's definately not the wiring or alignment issue. I'm pretty sure it's a bad flash, but I don't know how to recover from this.

    I've also had a bad flash w/ my spiderchip, been all over the net, apparently there is no programmer out that will attach to the spiderchip to flash without using a CD, does anyone know of a way to reflash a bad flashed spiderchip?

    Mmmm seems to be a trend here, I also had a bad flash! I had two spider chips & both seem to flash ok but would not boot after. Is there a programmer out for it yet?

    I thought that the evox M8_16 only works on the version 1.6. Have you tried using that flash on xboxes other than the 1.6.
