ok i just installed the chip on my 1 .6 xbox, after about a hour of work ( first soldering) anyway i have a few left over peices. i used this site below http://www.teamxecuter.com/x3/tutorials/x3pin16.htm the parts that i did not use are 10 and 6. also when i start the xbox up using the mod chip nothing happins all i get is a black screen. any ideas on whats wrong. i thought that bios were pre programed on the chip do i need to flash them in?
