    First do you have the white cromwell version or the blue gs version?

    If it's working properly you should see a blinking red light on the chip when you power on.
    When you start the console with the power button you should see an xbox flubber screen and depending on which version xbox you have and which bank you have your switch set to you should see a blue x and it will read xecuter2 or a green x with a redish guitar pick looking symbol that says evox.

    After you confirm that these things are working then you should use and AID or Slayers disk to get your new hdd setup with a dash, apps and backup eeprom, etc.

    Here is a link for the AID disk.

    Okay it's been awhile since I've installed the white one but they should come with cromwell bios so you won't get the blue xecuter 2 or the evox flubber screen.

    What you should do is use an aid or slayers disk and flash the chip bios depending on which version xbox you have. It might take 10 seconds or so to boot the disk up just be patient with it.

    If you have a 1.1 to 1.5 I think the latest is xecuter2 5035 137gb+ or if you have a 1.6 it's evox1.6 137gb+. Either way you need the 512mb versions.

    Go to aidtracker.com
    Get the torrent for the aid disk.
    download the and burn the .iso.
    Put it in you box and it should load up.
    There's a bios flashing menu under the tools tab if I remember correctly.

    Auto-Installer Deluxe v4.30 Lite
    (http://aidtracker.com/files/Auto-Installer.Deluxe.v4.30.Lite.Xbox-Hq.torrent)


    Is it ok if I get that? because i have slow internet.
    Is the bios on the disc already or do i have to download the bios separately?

    I googled "xbox solid orange led" and found this. You might want to do the same and read all hits that come up.
    I would assume that it might not be soldered correctly.
    You said you had an old xbox but not a 1.6. But each xbox is a little different when it comes to installing the chip.

    If I remember correctly I think that if the chip works and is installed properly it should boot up to a blue screen with white text that reads cromwell.

    I think you should go here and for sure determine what version you have.

    http://www.xbox-scene.com/versions_1.php

    I go through this with every box I chip just to make sure I'm using the correct install diagram.

    I'm a little baffled here since when I looked up your serial number it should have been made on line 6 the year of 2003 and week 36 which should be the time that they were making 1.4 version xbox's.

    Can you see the words on the chips where the guide says to look and let me know what they are?
    Thanks

    Flashing red just means that you have the power and ground connected properly. I've had my d0 point not connected and it would still flash so it wouldn't hurt to check.

    Just a crazy thought here but maybe it's orange because there's no hdd with the dash files or eeprom etc. Do you have a new hdd installed?
    I would make the eurasia disk and flash the bios of the chip and then use the aid disk to install the new dash and the ms dash etc.
