If you installed the chip directly to the Lpc on the mother board and didn't use wires, the chances are that you have a cold solder joint somewhere. With the Xecuter1 because of the thick Pcb that is used, a lot of heat is required to melt the solder through to the Lpc solder points underneath.
Try using a soldering iron with a fine tip but at least 30W and stick the tip right in the holes on the modchip and hold there for a couple of seconds. This way you insure a good solder joint.

I used wires i didnt do it to the board but it must be a bad connection cause when i press eject and finally get it to boot the clock pops up like it was unplugged thinking of getting the matrix modchip did anyone have anyproblems with the matrix chip

I would advise you to stay away from the Matrix. Heaps of people have problems with Pogo pins. You are better of getting a cheapmod thats flesh upgadable and save yourself a lot of headaches. _________________ Lefe's too short,
