Well, I typed this long paragraph, but I hit tab then backspace (and went to the pervious page) on accident. So, I will summarize what I posted:
- I stated that you have the longest sentence on the net - I reposted what you were most likely trying to say - Then I stated that you probably replaced the original xbox dashboard with evox or any other dash, and renamed the original "xboxdash.xbe" (or deleted it). If you did not, then please post so and I will throw out other solutions. btw, when the switch is "on" state, the modchip is on.

Your post is confusing me like no other
1. So, when the chip is on it will not load the hacked bios, then it goes to the "needs service" screen? And when the chip is off, it boots like normal to the original xbox dashboard? 2. Or, are you saying that the xbox works fine when the chip and the hacked bios is loaded, but then boots to the error screen when you turn the chip off and try to boot to the original xbox bios. If number 1, it is either corrupt bios on the chip or one of your wires on the mobo have popped out of place. More than likely, it is the popped out wire. If number 2, connect to the xbox via ftp and replace the renamed, homebrewn app "xboxdash.xbe" with the original "xboxdash.xbe". If you completely backed up the C partition, then just replace the entire partition. However, you should be getting an error code instead of the service screen. If it is the service screen, then it is possible that the onboard tsop has been fried. Also, make sure you soldered the switch to the on/off prong and not the bios switch prong.

let me try to explain it better.
1.when the switch is on it disable the mod chip and I get the error need service. 2. When the switch is off the hack Xecuter2 bios loads fine and I can play my harddrive games. 3. I forgot to mention that I have 3 dashboards install with the Xselector that should not be a problem I think. please help me. |

On the error screen, what number do you see in the upper left corner? It should be in white.

Sorry for the late reply but there's is no number anywhere All it say is your xbox needs service in green letters and the rest look like spanish.

If there is no error code, and your chpi is off completely, then it is either a fried bios chip on your xbox, or the dash failed to load due to missing/corrupt files. If it is the dash error, the only way to fix the problem is to replace the C partition completely, that is, if replacing the xboxdash.xbe did not help.

If there is a problem like the one you describe I think that the built in eeprom is hosed. Thats a very good reason to chip, to make the xbox usable again.
If there were a dashboard problem you would've gotten an error code.

But if my bios is fried how can I still load and play my games on HD because if I turn it off I can play my games do you think I misname some files.

Because you have a new working bios on the modchip and are using that one instead of the one on the motherboard.
You could on the other hand try to start the original MSDash through EvoX or whatever dashboard you are getting too when starting with the chip.

I got it. Xselector had screwed me up when I renamed Xselector to xboxdash.xbe so I formated C: drive and started fresh and it works perfectly thanks for all your help.

You should never install live when a modchip is on. You would be banned when it connected to live to download the files.
You should restore the C partition to the original state before upgrading. You shouldn't have to if you did not edit any of the original xbl files, but it would be safer.
