Hello,

I hope someone in this forum can help me with this question. My Xbox basically stopped working from one day to the next, i.e. no modifications or changes being made.

The problem in more detail:
I powered it up and after a few seconds the ring starts flashing red and green. My first thought was that the modchip got dislocated for some reason (using an XBIT mod chip - non-soldered). Opened up the case and refitted the chip until I got a solid green light upon switching it on (without the discdrive and HDD connected). Put everything together again - same problem again - red and green flashing light. I tried disconnecting the discdrive and only have the HDD connected - didn't work. Disconnected the HDD and suddenly I had a solid green light. Ok, maybe the HDD is dead. Connected the original stock HDD - same problem again - flashing light.

This is where I am clueless now - any idea what the problem might be?

As a sidenote: immediately when I start up the Xbox, I hear a low "thunking" sound once (hard to describe the sound). I have not heard this before, but then again I had never listened for it either.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

2 more thing for you to try.

Try booting without the chip.
Try a different IDE cable.

Do these tests then I'll help more.

I used another IDE cable - same problem

Tried booting without the modchip - same problem.

As long as no drive is connected - the light stays green - as soon as I connect the drives the light is first green (get to the green flubber screen) then it starts blinking red (and I get the on screen instructions to contact a technician)

Do you get any video with any errors with text on the screen, or are you just getting a black screen / no video?

Does your machine start on and off a few times before the flashing light?

The machine start up normally (no on and off like when the mod-chip is not installed properly) and after a few seconds the light begins to blink green and red.

On screen, I see the startup animation and then the multilingual screen that tells me to contact a technician - no particular error message.

The "thunking" sound upon powerup that I described earlier seems to emanate from the discdrive - I wonder if this has anything to do with the problem - however, if I disconnect the discdrive the problem persists. Is it even possible t run the Xbox with only a HDD connected?
