so my brother got his HALO SPECIAL EDITION XBOX about a year ago and everything was fine until suddenly it stopped working and now all it does is display the message SERVICE REQUIRED, CALL CUSTOMER SUPPORT so i called the xbox customer support and they said it needs a new HD but they wont fix it since its been moded so now wat i need to do is replace the HD on it so he can use it wat i need to know is how to do this ? cuz i have no clue of how its done or how hard/easy it is any help is appreciated
This is VERY EASY to do. Any newer HD will work fine in the Xbox. Do you want another stock 8GB HD in your Xbox or an upgraded one? You can go up to 400GB, but most go w/ between 80-200GB. All you will have to do is take out the old one, install the new one, and format it. What chip do you have and what dashboard are you running?
i dont know wat chip is in it but i know it can play copied games and dont laugh but wat is a dashboard ? and how the hell do u format it ? can u gimme more info ?
The dashboard is what comes up when you turn on your Xbox w/ your modchip enabled. It should look different compared to your original dash. You may not even have a hacked dash on your Xbox however... You really need to figure out what chip you have in your system. All you have to do to check is take out the hard drive and dvd-rom and look right on top of the motherboard.
ill do that tomorrow but wat i know is that this xbox was bought in kuwait which operates PAL system and it is also capable of playing copied games and original games of course but im gonna look inside and get the name of the chip and then ill let u know maybe u can help me cuz my brother is going crazy without it thanks
the chip has this on it: SST 49LF020 33-4C-NH 0342130-A i will try to take a picture of it but until then i need all the help i can i need to fix the xbox soon and i dont know how
Is there any error number in the corner of the screen when you boot up your Xbox? Is there any way that you can disable your chip? Try holding down the power button for 2 seconds when starting up your Xbox, or turning it on w/ the eject button. See if your Xbox boots to the original dash then. It would really help if I knew what chip you were using.
ok ill try that tomorrow but as i remember theres a number that comes up on the upper left hand corner but i cant remember what it was but im gonna try to do wat u told me tomorrow when i go over my uncle's cuz he has it over there with him and see if i can start it the way u told me and then ill get here and give u some updates
ok i tried that and it didnt work and it still came up the same, it wont load up but theres a number on the upper left hand corner of the screen and it [bold]07[/bold] so i dont know wat else to do
Ok, if you want to get your Xbox working again, you will need to change your HD. Error 7 means that your HD is timing out. So here is what you need to do: Buy a new HD. Make sure it is under 400GB and that it is an ATA/133. Maxtor, Western Digital, SeaGate and Hitachi are all decent brand names. Now, you will need something called Slayers. Go onto #xbins and DL the torrent for Slayers. Once you have that, burn the ISO to a QUALITY DVD-R or CD-RW. If you do not know how to use #xbins, go here, http://webpages.charter.net/modchipzone/xbinshowto.htm Or ou can access #xbins an easier way using this, http://www.teamxecuter.com/downloads/xbins.rar After you have slayers burned to a disc and have your new HD installed over the old one, pop in the slayers disc into your Xbox drive. Now, Slayers will give you a bunch of options, choose the one you need for your new HD. Slayers will do the rest! Your Xbox will be up and running and you will have the EvoX dashboard installed.
