Hi. I've had my xbox modded with a Xenium S.P. Ice and a 160 gig maxtor harddrive on my 1.6 version xbox for about 2 weeks. I went to turn it on this afternoon and the led around the eject button blinks green and then frags. The Xenium Ice chip is red. I have no idea what caused this to happen. Can you please help me get my xbox back up and running. Do I need to switch the chip to recovery mode or what. Please HELP. I'm a noob and I could really use some step by step instructions.
Thanks.

When you boot with the chip off does it still frag trying to load the M$ bios?
If your chip is red, (don't know much about xenium's) but if that stands for the chip being enabled, your D0 may have come lose, or contamination finally got to the joints somewhere.
Just for shits sake, even though it was running, check the soldering to make sure it is still as perfect as you did it the first time. Also, if you were using it before you most likely had the right 1.6 bios loaded to it
I will post more ideas as I come about them, till then time to get drunk @ a BBQ!!! _________________ XBOX v1.6

Yes, I agree with it probably being the D0 point. When I first did mine, I got the exact same thing, then I redid the D0 point and everything worked perfectly. _________________ XBOX- V1.0

Check soldering?? Thought it was the Xenium Spice (solderless)
If it was D0 related, wouldn't it just boot up to MS dash if HD locked and Error screen with error code 05 if unlocked??
I'd be checking to make sure the chip is aligned.
Does your Xbox turn on/off a few times first before it frags?
Or, is it trying to boot (you get flubber screen) and then you have video with funky writing or Xbox needs serviced text and an error code in upper corners.
Some ppl with solderless chips don't experience this, but others do. Especially if you are one to move your machine around. If you think the chip is secure, go ahead and flip the switch on the chip for recovery mode. See if the xbox led turns orange. With a 1.6 you will get absolutely no video so you can only tell if it's in recovery by the color of your eject led.
If it does not go to recovery, and you still think your install is good you may want to RMA the chip as it may be defective.
But, it really depends on what type of frag you are getting. I just need more info to help you better. _________________ Good Deals: Death@Hand, funkydopenloven, StaticMind, Slamscaper, PorscheXboxter

I am not a Xenium Guy, I don't pay attention to those things. ... I find the idea of solderless to be ludacris, especially the transport I put my xbox thru.

I am considering buying a Xenium Spice, I dunno if this video is real or not but if the box can take this kind of abuse and the solderless chip not come undone then this is the chip for me haha.

Oh it's real. Believe me. I would not recommend doing that but I have to tell you that it's a real stable platform now that the chip can sit on. _________________ http://twitter.com/HQ_Shark2th

I'm right there with you man! I would never consider a solderless solution at all. I am quite surprised about the spice though. I had a customer ship me his Xbox (Xenium spice installed) in nothing more than a shoe box. No padding whatsoever!!!!! That box had to go through hell (was shipped UPS). I was astonished that when I turned it on it didn't frag!!!
Another thing you have to worry about is just the natural expanding and contracting due to heating and cooling. Eventually, a solderless chip is going to need tightened or alinged regardless of whether you move it or not.

Lol, I like that Xenium Spice WMV. That was funny.
And I do put a hella amount of wear and tear on the box, I am constantly transporting it in a larger rubbermaid tote, going btwn. Orlando and West Palm Beach. So, a solderless does me no good. However, i might be sold on a xenium for my next chip. _________________ XBOX v1.6

HA..you and I are going in such opposite directions. For over a year I would ONLY install and recommend the Xenium Ice...and you were always a huge proponent for the X3 mod chip.
Now, I am actually liking the X3 (thanks to the X3 CP) and you are actually contemplating an Xodus product. Actually, you will like the Xenium Ice..it's a very easy chip to install and use. I just wish you could do some changes on the fly like you can with the X3. Even though there are programs out now that allow you to manipulate the X2 5035 bios, you still have to reflash the chip with the newly configured bios unlike just launching config live with your X3 to make such changes.

How right you are. That solderless install movie impressed me lol. I still want to do the XX v.2 but I have thrown Xenium on the Block
And I LOVE X3 all the same. Never will that change...unless the 1.6 Lframe issue rears its ugly head.
As for on the fly. Xenium and everything else has special cromwell menus for doing everything but. Thats why I Like the flashbios only utiility it comes with. The bios package is even better than all the rest. Especially buidling and formating partitions on new drives. And the X3 CP is a given
MODGOD - Have you heard any news about the issues, I know they released the buggy 3188 rev. with the LFRAME friendly coding. However there were issues with the IGR in evox and XBMC. I just don't want a dead 1.6 after Xbox's are out of production. I have another xbox, however its a 1.6 also.
BTW: MY nips are hard over the X3iR, I have been waiting for that for too long. It is going to make my lazy life even easier. It will bring Cartman, Stan, Kyle, and Butters all closer together. no kenny, i killed him. _________________ XBOX v1.6

Hey ppl. I am having a similar situation. The difference is my xbox works sometimes and sometimes it does not. I may be in the middle of a game and the xbox freezes. When I reboot. the xbox goes to the 05 error. Never loads up the chip software. However, the LED indicator on the display is a dim red. Where when everything is working fine, it is a nice bright red. I have another xbox cipped out exatly identical to this one that works great. I have swapped out the chips to eliminate that as the problem, But the problem still exists. Just to give you guys all the info. It is a 1.6 xbox with the xenium ice SOLDERED mod. I have checked the connections. They all seem to be correct. After I make all my solder points, I usually hot glue them So checking them in the future makes for a difficult task.
Any help you can give would be great. Thanks very much.
