hi, i installed my x3 a while ago, and after much grief and pulling hair out, it was the god damn switch. my x3 will not work when hte switch is plugged in, but works fine without, and its booting and running evox.
has anyone else had this problem?
i want to fix it because i want the switch to work, does anyone know how?
i hope someone can solve this.

Are you in the states, I didn't check your info but if you are I have an extra switch for you to try. Just email me at sales@themodgod.com and I'll send it out to you. I should also have an extra harness just in case you also need that. This way, you can rule out both.

eek..sorry, I see you're in england..
Maybe someone closer to you has an extra switch to send out. I personally have never had a problem with the switch, I have however had problems with the the adapter that the power/eject board plugs into. Just got one of those about three days ago... luckily I had a spare. _________________ Good Deals: Death@Hand, funkydopenloven, StaticMind, Slamscaper, PorscheXboxter

I have had problems simular to your description
I have had two things cause the problem
The first was bent pins in the bottom of the switch where the harness plugs in.
The pin to the far left would always want to bend over when I would plug the harness back in. so be carefull of that
The second was that someone had messed around with the switches on the front and change memory setup and the machine would boot the flash bios everytime
Hope that helps let me know how things turn out for you
