xbox turns on and off 3 times

my xbox is softmodded with a solderless ada pter in it and i change one of the files on it went to restart and it booted 3 times and then went to blank screen. Would it be easier ti fix this xbox or install the hhd into anothor xbox

 

So it was flashing green and red? Did you get an error code at all?

 

I soldered an Xecuter 2.6 mod chip into my XBox and it turns off and on 3 times and has a flashing green and red light on the eject tray. However, I was still able to load the BIOS with no trouble. Problem is, I can't load a dashboard because all I see is a blue screen when I turn the XBox on.

 

Iam getting 3 fail boots and no audio or screen can it be a bios problem and how would i fix that without a modchip

 

hockey12, You might wanna recheckthe soldering job you did. You also might have loaded a bad bios. When it flashes 3 times its called a FRAG. Did you have a dashboard on before?

Sorry, I should have responded to the thread earlier. I have fixed the problem. I flashed the BIOS to the wrong bank, but was able to fix it by flashing FlashBIOS on to bank 1 and the EvolutionX M8 Bios_v1.6 on Bank 2. The XBox turns on fine now and we get a screen that has a large X on the left and 4 tabs on the right: Memory, Music, XBox Live and Settings. I was just wondering if this is a dashboard or not? I thought I had to install EvoX seperately, which I haven't done yet. Also, the clock settings always appear every time the XBox is turned on. I was just wondering if there was any way to fix this? I will also take your advice and check on xbox-hq.com. I appreciate your help though
