    if you tested the chip with the external switch connected and the switch enabled then there should be 2 blue leds lite on the chip and the led on the external switch should be lite green or red if it is disabled. if you are testing the chip with the external chip not connected then you will see two blue leds lite and a yellowish green led lit on the chip. If you see any of these senerios then the chip is installed correctly if not the chip is not installed correctly.

    Next, if you xbox is new then it is a version 1.4 or 1.5 and when you boot it up (chip enabled) the eject light will flash red, green, yellow, green 3 more times, then eject the dvd drive. Remember, if you box is a v1.4 or 1.5 you will see nothing on the screen, otherwise you will see the cromwell clean bios screen. either way, at this point you would need to flash the chip. If you have access to a dvd burner it is much easier to flash it with that because the xbox is picky, but if you dont just burn it to a cdrw add a dummy file, insert the disc, and after about a min, the box should power off and you successfully flashed your chip.

    Cheers Deezp for your help when you say you should see nothing at the screen do you mean it should be just a black screen or the x box dash ive had both ? once again cheers for your help........

    the screen will be black (no M$ dash) ONLY if you a v1.4 or v1.5 xbox. no worries, I enjoy to help. I suggest if you dont want to go through the trouble finding all of the different apps that are out there look for the slayers auto installer. its the best it does everything for you like installing evox dash, backup apps xbox media player and some more goodies.

    you fine about the lights blinking, as long as the rom ejects and the screen goes to black you are good

    http://www.xbox-scene.com/tools/tools.php?page=flash#newsitemEpuFEpkZyVZhuaRnyr

    go to that site get the xecuter bios manager and follow the instructions. it tells you how to make then burn the image and put it on a dvdr it should work fine. as far as the bios to get, i used the evolution x M7 bios, its the lastest out there. once you burn it reboot the box and after the rom ejects put in your disc and give a min or two so it can flash. if the xbox powers off, your flash was successful. when you reboot after that you should be back to the m$ dash, at this point you should look into finding that slayers auto installer. check your PM
