I have an Xbox version 1.0 modded with Xenium ice. It worked fine before I moved, on firing it up yesterday it booted to the xenium screen then locked up. On second boot and after it is now going to Japanese wording screen and error 05. The HD is not the original hd, but a lager one. After spending hours messing around reinstalled, I have a no solder adapter, I believe the Xenium mod chip may be dead, I get no red led. I can get the red led to light if I moved the switch to safe mode and I also get the safe mode image on TV. My questions are: Is possible that the no solder adapter is bad? Is it possible that Xenium ice is bad? Is it possible to soft mod the larger HD with out having the original Xbox Seagate drive and used no mod chip? If I ordered another mod chip like an Xecuter 2.6 and installed that, would it see the current modded larger HD? Thanks microo
I'd say that the chip has probably just come unseated! Unplug it and re-insert it! If you replace the modchip, your HDD will be fine! If you try and softmod it, you'll need the eeprom. Only an eeprom reader can salvage that for you now!
