    Hello, I hope someone can help me on this as I can`t find the problem discussed so far. I have an xbox thats modded with a bigger hard drive and chip(?) it was done by someone else so I don`t know much about these things. My son was playing around with it and came to me and says he thinks he erased the "bios". He turned it off when he saw what was started. When I turned it on I have the ring around the eject button flashing green and RED and there is no screen at all.Can someone tell me if its a gonner or can it be saved? Thanks

    try getting and loading a disc like Slayer 2.7
    They have different BIOS files on them for flashing the chip. Problem you will have is you have to know what chip, then look around to see which BIOS it uses.

    yep going to have to open it up and tell us what type of chip it is...
    but before you do that you can go ahead and press the Power and Eject button at the same time....
    if a Blue Screen comes up then you most likely have a X3...
    if not you will have to open it :)

    Man, thanks for the help. No, it won`t pullup any sort of screen even when I put a disc in. Asked him exactly what he saw before it started erasing and it sounds like he flashed bios. I`ll try that power button, eject button this evening to be sure but xecuter 3 seems like something I have seen on the screen before.

    O.K., I found out its actually xecuter 2. I tried pressing the power and eject buttons though and didn`t get anything. Since he didn`t completely erase the bios will that need attention or is there a way to just redo it online somewhere?

    even if it can not pull up a game it may still be able to load Slayer 2.7 so you may want to look into getting that. It has flashes on it for various chips, so find out which one the chip you have uses and if it will load slayer you can then flash the chip with it.

    Then or course slap your sons hand for messing with things, LOL
