There are several things that could be causing this problem..
1. Your soldering isn't up to par and a connection has gotten bridged somewhere along the way.
2. You're booting the xbox from the wrong bios bank (provided you have a xecuter 2.3b or newer
3. You have flashed the wrong bios for the version xbox you have (1.6 bios on a 1.0-1.5 system, or vice-versa)
4. The onboard TSOP has come currupt and you are trying to boot with the chip off (not so likely)
To fix this solution i would try the following..
, try
1. Take the chip out and see if the xbox boots. If it does, then you have flashed the chip wrong, and if it doesnt, you will need to go over your soldering job with a magnifying glass and search out any errors in your soldering and fix them up.
2. To reflash the chip, simply change to another dip position to load a bank that has the Cromwell Flashbios on it. Make sure that the flash protection dip is turned off.
3. If your xbox boots normally without chip, and you can't reflash it, try to boot with another chip. If that works, then you know its the chip that isnt right.
4. If it is an xecuter 2, and you have the programmer, change the bios on the chip with a different one.
If you follow all of those steps, you should be in good shape.. if not, think about having your xbox shipped to someone (like me) that has many years of experience and knows what they are doing (not saying you don't).
good luck on getting that to work.. and if you dont want to bother fixing it, i would definatly not mind buying it from you.
later,

Easiest way to install a hard drive (since you have a chip) is to set it in there and run AID 3. Its a very straight forward program made by a member here in HQ, DJB. _________________ XCM Halo 2 blue case

absolutly nothing from the sounds of it. Did it fail to load? how much time did you give it?
try it with just v3.0 (no add ons or anything, unless you've gotten it to work previously in another xbox). also, make sure the network cabels are unplugged at this point (this was one of the problems for me, although, im not real sure why unless some settings were mix-matched..)
good luck _________________ XCM Halo 2 blue case
