well, i had a problem with my xbox, and went in one of the applications, forgot the name, but it's the one that says "enter at your own risk" if don't know how to properly use this application could mess up your xbox, something like that, anyways i press start so i unlocked the HHD password and i got a massterpass, so the power went out, we use generators in iraq for power, so the power came back up and turned my xbox on and now it won't boot, a screen pops up with the same message in different languages saying, service required call costumer support. i have no clue how to fix this problem, pls help anyone.

Sounds like you used configmagic, so you should be getting error 5.
Sorry to say this, but you need a mod chip now as your xbox hdd is permanantly unlocked and the master password is useless now.
I know its hard to get stuff out there in Iraq but a modchip is what you need. _________________

it wont work, the xbox hard drive has to be locked to the motherboard in order to run. Of course a mod chip will bypass this problem. _________________

the only way to fix this is if you backed up your eeprom information, and use xbhdm to lock it, or like hellblazer said get a modchip _________________ Please post all PC Questions at PC-HQ.com

hey thanks for your help you guys, i would take it apart but i don't want take the chance, my brother tried to show me how to softmod this thing but that was over a year ago, after i got back from my last deployment and i was not thinking right, my mind was still in iraq so i forgot, and J We would really appreciate it if you could fix it for us, since that xbox is one of our few morale boosters around here, i said we because we shared the xbox with a few of my buddies.
