OK, X2.3Blite+ Xbox was working just fine until....
I was copying game to HDD with DVD2Xbox and it got hung up about 97% of the way through. I shut the Xbox down, carried to my router to plug it in to see if I could FTP the game to computer, then back to Xbox. When it was reconnected, it powered up 3 times, then FRAGGED. I thought maybe shutting down the Xbox screwed up the HDD, so I replaced with another Xbox HDD... same result. I removed the DVD & HDD to check out modchip... 2 blue LEDs when enabled, 2 blue & 1 green LEDs when disabled. OK, so chip appears to be aligned and is firmly screwed in place. With the modchip diabled, it boots to MS Dash, but clock needs resetting. After clock is reset, I try again, still FRAGGING. I tried booting with Cromwell, still FRAGGING.
What gives? Has the firmly screwed-down modchip become misaligned while GENTLY carrying 30 feet to the router? What gives here??? Am I doing something stupid here?
Thanks!

It definitely doesn't sound like you did anything stupid. The fact that you put another HD in it and it did the same thing tells me it has to be in the chip...right?
You should submit a VIP ticket. Forahobby and DJB, not too mention some other knowledgable members will get to you quicker that route. VIP tickets get emailed to admins, so they see them faster than just a new post. Hopefully, we'll get you squared away in no time.
In the interim, let us know if you figure it out. _________________ Good Deals: Death@Hand, funkydopenloven, StaticMind, Slamscaper, PorscheXboxter

It was hooked up to TV (that'show I knew it booted with chip off!). But a good idea... I have made that mistake more than once!

Glad to see was not the only person to make that problem for myself.
HA HA HA .
Then yes it would be that the chip came loose.
thats the only problem with soldderless mod chips I think.
