Posted: Sat Sep 10, 2005 7:29 am Post subject: My new premod is blinking orange and powers on 3 times.
I have read and looked for similar problems and have tried using their remedies but none seemed to work for me.
I purchased a premoded X3CE and a X3CP on a 1.6b xbox...I get the green/blue/blue lights on the chip on and I get the enabled (blue) light on the external display.
QUESTION
------------------------------------------------------
I just received my premodded xbox and when I turned it on and all I got was a blinking orange eject button as the xbox tried to power on 3 times, then failed. PLEASE tell me what is wrong and if i can somehow fix this.
ANSWER
------------------------------------------------------
This might be a loose chip (occurs during shipping sometimes). We do headerpin installs, in which the pin apparatus is soldered onto the chip and then the chip rests firmly on TOP of the pin header. On occasion, during shipments, the chip might become a bit loose and lose connection from the pin header.
The remedy is simple, open up your xbox with the torx 10/15/20 screw set (easily obtained from any local shop). Unscrew the xbox, pull off the dvd/hard drive, and just PUSH down the chip gently, to make sure it is fully pushed down onto the HEADER PIN. Be careful to not pull any wires off the chip or to pull the chip off the pin header, causing wires to become loose. ALL you need to do is push the chip down firmly onto the pin header, and then proceed to put everything back into the xbox.
This should remedy most problems that people receive with the orange blinking upon receiving the chip. Sounds good, but it isn't the problem get this, if I wait a half an hour or so it boots fine for about 15 seconds then it's back to the orange blinking and dying out all over again.

orange flash is usually a badly soldered pinheader.
send it back before you do something that will void the install warranty (hopefully you bought it somewhere respectable) _________________ .
