You may have damaged the front board with the power and reset switches on during the mistake. Might be worth seeing about getting a replacement.
Ask the guys here, see if anyone has one, you may be in luck. Might be worth trying ebay too.
i fixed it with some parts that i had from another xbox. now im having trouble with the bios. I flashed it (i think) and now it keeps loading back to the bios flash screen i dont know what im doing. I followed the tut from teamxecuter and it doesnt seem to be going correctly.

What BIOS did you flash and is your xbox a 1.6?
Will it boot with the chip turned off?
What method did you use to flash it and do you have a copy of AID?

ok i dont know if this matters or not but i didnt rename the file to bios.bin i just flashed it right over. Is there some way that i can reflash over what i did before so i can still potentially try it again if it doesnt work? If i put the switch as on on off off off it turns off right after i push the power button. if i put it as off on off off off it boots to the flash screen again?

If you did not change the file name then i would guess thats the problem.
If the xbox will still boot a disk i would pop in AID and use the BIOS flashing tool to flash the BIOS and some times the switch can give you a hard time, i have found that unhooking the switch sets it to a 1MB bank and it can be flashed with out the switch hooked up.

i can only get it to boot a disc if i hold the power button down and turn the chip off. I tried renaming the bios but still no go. I dont know why it aint workin.... if i cant get the thing to turn on without the chip on how do i flash it? i tried to get it to go to the 256 back up but it just keeps going to the flash screen. Im stumped.
