I have a 1.0 xbox with a crappy contact point modchip. I want to go softmod and remove the chip since a light tap sends it out of sync and i get random error 5,7,sometimes 13 how do I get the lock key from the original bios not the dumb chip. right now it doesn't need to be locked but i'd rather lock it to original bios so no random isssues
The only lock i know of is for the hard drive.There maybe a way to get to the original bios however you would need to know the sequence.For instance my smart chip requires me to push start button on the console at a certain time,i think its at the first flash of the ring before it becomes solid,this allows the chip to load the menu ,from which i can select what to boot this link below is an active forum for original xbox,they should be able to help if no answers are forth coming. http://www.theisozone.com/forum/ original xbox error codes if you didn't already know http://www.thetechgame.com/Tutorials/id=316/original-xbox-error-codes.html
mine weird just boot and it loads any unlocked drive.if the chip is off center (one screw holds it down) and it will give unlocked codes
Modchips load any drive locked or unlocked,however if you want to use the official dash the drive needs to be locked,this can be done through either a installer disc or the modchip,t would be best to start a thread at the iso zone,you'll get more bites
