x-ecuter 2.3 lite modchip Problems, Chip off it's ok, Chip on Red and Green lights flash

What bios did you flash it with?

 

some guy gave me this X2_4977 that one i renamed but it ddidnt work

 

On the first page of this thread I posted that you need M7 or 4979. I flashed my 2.3 with 4977 and it dose not work. I tried a hotswap but no luck. I am gonna try it again. I ordered a new 2.3 and flashed it with M7 and it works fine.

 

I got a chameleon le s (solderless) modchip and I got it to work, but do i want to do option 7 on Slayers Evox auto installer which is "flash modchip or xbox v1.0-1.5 on board tsop or not. It says it "could kill my xbox" What do I do

 

so how do i fix my bad bios on my chip??

 

I've got a response from my supplier, They told me to send the chip back for testing, could be a bad ground or bad flash. So i'm getting my xbox softmod in the mean time. I'll update soon. Hope you guys find a solution. I know it's a huge piss off when something doesn't work, believe me 3 weeks is a long time to have a xbox that i never played and modchip. GOOD LUCK

 

This is happening to me too. 3x reboot and flashing light.

I have a brand new 1.5 XBox and an Xecutor 2.3 lite from modchip.ca

I'm currently using the header pins. Wouldn't this circumvent the problem which is resolved by ensuring the wires are close to the board?

D0 is definitely wired right, everything's properly grounded, etc. etc. I have an external programmer en route -- would flashing the chip do the trick, or is this just a batch of duds from Modchip.ca?

Kind regards,

SparQy.

 

Would taking hte tape off the xecuter 2.3 lite plus cause it not to work?? If so, that could be my problem, because I just found out that your supposed to leave it on. Please let me know. Thanks.

 

I for one left it on and am experiencing the problem as noted above...

I also got my chip from Modchip.ca 2.3 lite i have 1.5 xbox. same problems. The compnay said they would test it out. I thought that this was a wasy job. Chips are alot more complex then sites say. I'll keep you post what happens, but i expect it will take a couple of days or even a week before i see my chip back. Maybe it is a bad batch. who knows. But it seems alot of people have the smae problems. Yes i would think that if you used the pins that would sloved the problem. I'm using the wires. Let me know if your status changes or what you did to ge it to work. I'm sending my chip back to get tested. On the ticket help they said that it could be a bad ground or bad flash.

 

yeah, I'll be doing some testing with my grounds later, but I've already tripple checked EVERYTHING else.

FYI, I've installed about 10 modchips ranging from the PC-BIOXX to the Xecutor 2.3, and have never had a problem before. I'll letchya know if I see any change.

 

i bought mine from there should i return it for testing or no ??

 

Might just want to email them with a link to this forum. I'm personally holding off until I see what jdam finds... (but then again, I have an external programmer in the mail...)

so u got not worries ur getting a programmer im not the only way to do this for me is hot swapping and im scared to do it to my friends cause if i ruin theres i have to pay for it and i want to know if its possible to ruin there xbox?

 

i got my chip from system-mods.ca and am experiencing the same problems.

I got my chip and installed it all properly (i think) and then put back together my xbox. I turned it on, it stayed on for a second, then turned off, then on, then off, then on but this time it stayed on and the light around the eject button started flashing red and green. i went upstarirs to get a drink thinking maybey if i left it it would work (maybey it takes a while for the first time) i came back down to my xbox and the light was still blinking(nothing on the tv screen) so i turned it off and tried to put the switch to disable but when i touched the switch i got a small shock and noticed that it had melted in the time i went upstairs to get a drink. I dont know why it melted i dont think anything I did wrong could have made the switch melt.??? after i used needle nose pliers to puck the molten switch over to disable, and turned on my box. same thing exept the light on my chip (xecuter2.3lite) was red instead of green. my drive wont open and the light just flashes though i dont think the switch is going to melt anymore but i could be wrong...has this ever happend before?

 

hI!

I just bought a pre-moded xbox with a 120HD and an Xecuter2.3 Lite.

I have no idea about all this stuff and I just bought the one that seemed to be less trouble to play.
It was when it arrived that I realiced for the first time that it would not work straight forward.

So I went in to all this bios stuff, through endless forums and guides (which all seem to be different from one an other).

And after several attempts I got the xbox to keep the cd-rw with the bios inside and shut off by it self, as it said on several instructions.
Once that happened i turned it on again and i got the 3 switch off/on's and then the red/green flashing (the light in the chip stays in green).
the dvd drive does eject if I push the eject button continuously, but it does not seem to read the cd-rw with the bios again or anything like that.

From what i understand in several of the guides I must have a v1.5 or v1.4 xbox, since its brand new and the dvd tray opens as you turn it on (before my bios issue), also the screen appears black at all times.

I have no idea about the bank 1 bank 2 switch, I dont know how it should be set up to run properly or anything. I assumed (due to lack of info) that the protected/unprotected switch should be on unprotected to install the bios, so I did.

I'm pretty frustrated and i dont know what is going on at all.

The site that I bought it form is not giving me any specific information or accurate (working) links to use the right files and follow the right steps.

please help if you have any idea about this whole thing, i just wanted to play games.

thx.

 

i always thought the xecuter 2.3 lite's were suposed to come pre flashed

 

sprjesus, so did I. but nothing would appear on the screen when turned on for the first time.
and the premoded xbox came with a piece of paper saying that I should update the bios.

 

can any help me get the linex code i need. See i just modded my xbox with the xecuter 2.3 lite plus soderless chip and now its saying insert cd to update bios but i don't have it i have some cd-r a friend gave me but all it has is the evol dash board is that it because its not working
