    I had a friend install executer 2 mod chip on my xbox a while ago (it's not the first version of xbox, but I believe its the second). Now when I turn on the xbox, there is a error message "16 service required" then a bunch of other languages. Also the LCD would flash red and green and my mod chip light would be red instead of green. I checked to see if the chip was lose but it seems fine (no matter how i position it, the lights on the chip are blue and ones yellow, while the chip light on the outside is still red instead of green). I asked a friend that had his xbox modded and he said it usually means the chip is lose, but I dont think it is. Any suggestions on a solution?

    16 - dashboard - Other files to do with dashboard / dashboard settings (specific dashboard error)


    Sounds like the xbox can't find the dashboard. Try running a bott disk and explore the xbox to see if the dashboard files are named properly. (the .xbe file to the dashboard)

    I was reading in another forum that may I can just reinstall the dashboard using the autoinstallers slayer or AID. Which one should I use and if I install this, would I lose my games on the hard drive?

    do you remember what the boot order is on the bios that was falshed to your xbox? If so write it down.....then if you have to use [bold]slayers[/bold] to reinstall the dash. It shouldn't overwrite your games if you just do a dash upgrade,I might be wrong though. Might be a good idea to ask a few other people before you go ahead and try anything though.

    Should I flash the chip, or reinstall the dashboard? The mod chip is working and what happens is I'll turn on the xbox and the light on the chip (the one outside of the xbox) is green like its supposed to be, but then the xbox would turn off, then on, then off, then on again, but this time it stays on with a blank screen on the tv. Also the tray does not open when I push the eject button, but I can get it open with the little paperclip whole. I found a sight where I can get the flash software, cromwell i believe it was and the slayer sight. So which one should I do and will I lose any of my games on my 160 gb hard drive? If I install the slayers for the dashboard without formating I should be safe there, however if I have to flash the chip, I don't know if I'll lose the games.

    Ok, I just tried booting the xbox with the mod chip disabled off of the retail hard drive and I get an error #6 now. What do I do now. Should I update the dashboard. If I do this how do I get the xbox to boot because when the mod chip is enabled, it turns on and off again 3 times then frags with no video output. I have the slayer cdrw ready to go.

    I used 2 xboxs for this. When I put the workin xbox together and booted it, it came up to a clock and date menu. I was wondering since it did this just after i tried using it to boot mine, that mine does have a clock problem? Also, error #6 is the hard drive isn't unlocked, if I unlock the retail hard drive, then turn off the xbox. Then hook my xbox up to the retail, would I be able to boot my xbox and change the clock on mine?

    I am having a similar problem. I'm not sure what happened. This xbox was given to me by someone who tried to mod it. He bought a solderless xenium SPIce chip. I am not sure where to get a dash board. I think i have the slayer dashboard but nothing happens. All the xbox seems to do is boot into the xenium bios or what i think is the bios? Can anyone help?????
