I have a problem with my Xbox. Xbox will no longer boot, you see a blank screen, no audio and video but the LED light turns Flashing Red and Green. The call customer service message don't come up. not sure about the verson 2004-01-05. How ca u tell the verson?? Please help.
First, I want to ask, is your Xbox modded in any way or form? Does your Xbox boot up three times, and then start flashing red and green? If your Xbox has not been modded or opened, try calling Microsoft's customer support number. Yeah, you could have a v. 1.5 or 1.6 w/ that date "2004-01-05" Here are two guides to help you figure out your version 1) Without opening your Xbox up: http://www.xbox-linux.org/Xbox_Versions_HOWTO 2) With opening your Xbox up: http://www.xbox-scene.com/versions_1.php
It has not been modded in any way. I only opened it up to check power card. everytime I boot it up it flash. I check my DVD drive and hard drive on another Xbox it work. So is not that. I think it has to be the motherboard. Please give me more help.
Shoot, if you didn't open it, you could have sent it in to Microsft and gotten it fixed for decently cheap. Usually there is a screen that comes up with an error on it, and the list of what the error means is in the data below. But you say that you are not getting any picture? That is really strange! Ask this question on this site, http://www.xbox-scene.com Or try this site, http://www.llamma.com/xbox/ 0 - any - No error (duh) 1 - bootldr - Unknown exactly, something to do with checking the motherboard 2 - bootldr - Eeprom check failed 3 - bootldr - ??/not used 4 - bootldr - Ram check failed 5 - kernel - HDD not locked (retail bioses require the hd to be locked) 6 - kernel - Cannot unlock HDD 7 - kernel - HDD timeout 8 - kernel - No HDD found 9 - kernel - HDD parameters (PIO/DMA/or size {debug}, certain size minimum is required for debug) 10 - kernel - DVD timeout 11 - kernel - No DVD Found 12 - kernel - DVD parameters (PIO/DMA) 13 - kernel - Dashboard launch fail (due to missing/bad key, or anything else that would prevent it from running) and the dashboard didn't specify why it failed. 14 - dashboard - Error loading dashboard (dashboard generic error) 15 - - ??/not used 16 - dashboard - Other files to do with dashboard / dashboard settings (specific dashboard error) 17 - - ??/not used 18 - - ??/not used 19 - - ??/not used 20 - kernel - The dashboard was attempted to load and failed; It was a cold boot, and the dashboard didn't specify why it failed, but it (for some reason) needed to be noted that the dvd passed the challenge/response authentication 21 - anywhere - This error says that the machine was booted to display a error, basically someone told the machine to reboot (or launch a xbe) with this flag, and the error code just means its been rebooted by the flag In closing: 21 was the highest number I could find, I don't think any thing is past that. And for the unknown ones, I couldn't find any reference to them at all, I don't believe they are used. Greets to everyone (who is contributing) in the homebrew scene.
