Mmmm, would need more info to advise u. What chip are you using? What is your xbox version? Would advise u to use X2 4983 for v1.0 to v1.5 and M8_1.6+ for the new v1.6 Reflash the correct bios back into the modchip if bios is incorrect. Assuming the bios is correct, I would advise a reformat and reinstall of your dashboard. Download Slayer's autoinstaller, this do the job nicely. Just read and follow the instructions that came with the download good luck! ;D Hi mechaman, I recently upgraded my evox dashboard and flash my bios to m8 ("itchy fingers...."), it wouldn't always boot into my bios even when the light on the eject button turned orange, occasionally I can see the bios and view my upgraded dashboard, most times I cant.

oops didnt realise my message got cut in half. anyway like i said, I flashed the bios to evox m8+. It started acting weird. (Switched off the xbox, screen wouldnt come on even though it's orange, Off n on it a few times, the evox + green blob will show) . Tried to reflash the bios back to my back'd up bios with eurasia flash s/w. It got worse!!. when I press n hold the power button it wont stay on the orange light anymore (1sec n change to green). Anyway. I'm using the aladdin advance chip on a 1.2 xbox. What can I do now? I cant reflash the bios cuz it wont read my CD-RW without the orange light. N I renamed my Microsoft xboxdash.xbe  |

There's two methods left. You can flash your chip using hotswap or use a external programmer. 1. Hotswap. Get hold of another Aladdin Chip and boot it up. With the power on and top cover open remove the chip and insert your Aladdin you need to flash bios. (this works only if you have a pinheader install) 2. Remove your Aladdin chip and reflash using a external chip programmer. Reinstall and rebuild your HDD contents If reflashing your bios and rebuilding your HDD contents do not work i.e. chip still doesn't want to turn on, my diagnosis would be that your Aladdin chip is a goner. let me know rdgs oops didnt realise my message got cut in half. anyway like i said, I flashed the bios to evox m8+.
