    ok jason from what im getting from your post.when you boot up your box it flashes 3 times then shuts down.if this is so check and make sure you did a good job putting in your chip.CHECK THE CHIP AGAIN.im not sure about dvd-r i used a cd-rw with the bios on it but i have two disk.like i said before its a 2 step process.ok when you swap drives this is what you do .disconnect the dvd drive in your xbox,put a dvd drive in from your pc,put your first disk in reboot and let it do it thing.then put in your second disk do not close the tray it will do it the you should be good to go.

    something wierd just happened... i had installed the chip w/ the pin headers and the screen was black and the cdrom popped open(im like yes) but i flashed w/ xecuter 2.4974 bios and when it was done it had shutdown...when i tried to reboot it still flshes... does this mean the bios is not compatible w/ the xecuter 2.3 lite chip?? if not i have found some bios but they are 256 kb and all the convertors i have arent compat. w/ XP so i cant convert...can some 1 send me good bios that werx well w/ the 2.3 thats already a 1mb file or watever it needs to run (already converted)

    But my xbox 1.5 the DVDRom doesn't open. I know that if it did open when i powered up i would have to flash the Bios. But the Xbox jsut goes into a power cycle.

    mardos you mean you had this same problem

    Chip Off
    Boots fine to xbox screen

    Chip enabled on bank 1 or 2
    On/OFF 3 times, Flashing DVD BUTTON red/ Green and black screen. THE DVD ROM tray doesn't open.

    Is that what yours was?

    My wires are low and the chip is kind of low.

    I got it from modchip.ca too. I wonder if there is a major problem with those chips. I'll ask my tech guy about that. He's at a hotel party getting loaded. it might take a day. He knows all the tricks. But i did buy from modchip.ca. I posted a ticket for some help, then they added the 2.3 install page. But i'm still having problems. It won't work right :(

    Are you using the pins or wires. No i can't really help you at all. I KNOW ALMOST NOTHING! My friends does all the work and i guess i could of done it but i don't have a solder kit. I can do my BEV 3100. I'm sorry i can't help. Alot of people are having the same problems as us. I really should of went with the 2.2 chip. When i find out any info i'll let you know ASAP.

    Ok, I hope anyone who has been helped with this before will respond! I hope i get like 10 responses!

    I have the XECUTER 2.3 LITE PLUS chip and a version (I believe...) 1.4 xbox...idk I bought it a week ago.

    I scraped and I scraped and I scraped the DO point, I see copper not metal I am pretty sure I got it good.... I have the chip on enable....unprotected....and bank 1 like the guy at my store said it should be. Before I would get 2 blue lights on the xbox, and 1 green light on the switch w/ enable/disable etc, and the xbox just loads up normal, everything works fine, but it loads up w/ m$ bios.

    Now, it either blinks green for 3 times every few seconds, then goes green/red/green/red or just a steady yellow...or I can take off the chip and it works......

    What do I have to do! I have moved the chip around a MILLION times.... it seems like its gettin somewhere new since it doesnt load up xbox normal bios when the chip is on, and when its off its fine, but I NEVER get the green LED4 light on the chip to come on. No matter what I do. Someoen said something about scraping the pin on the modchip that plugs into DO?? I'll try that, along with the tinfoil plan, but what is some more advice! My brother is home in 2 days and Im trying to do this for him for xmas. I already did my own chameleon modchip, so I have some backround in the topic. Please help!!

    P.S. My LPC points are all open, I didnt have to de-solder anything...if that could be anything. Also, I have some little gold cylinder pins from a chameleon modchip left over that fit in the lpc points if that could help at all...
