HI @KaosEngineer I was able to source a 2 pin connector for my chip. Sorry I am a total newb when it comes to electrical components like this. When you say make the connection to ground - is there a wire I need to connect the 2-pin wires to in the xbox? Or I just twist the wires together like @Bowlsnappersuggested?

Thank you so much!! I tried the boot disk route and that didn't work so if you could send it to me that would be a life saver! I PM'd you

I appreciate this, I figured there may be some type of option in terms of rigging something up. Unfortunately I do not have any of the cables other than for the front switch, so if I go this route I’ll need to get the cables made. I’m going to try the install disk rout for now, but will keep this in my back pocket

I have not tried this yet, but I will give it a shot. Thank you!

Unfortunately no, I don’t have any of the parts related to power control

Hi all, I have a 1.3 xbox, with an Xecuter3 CE installed solderless. I was flashing via FTP, and was able to flash successfully, BUT, I am an idiot and flashed over bank 1 of the 256mb bios so I think I overwrote the x3 default bios. My issue is that my chip does not have the power control board installed, so I cannot use the power+eject button trick to get to the bios recovery screen. Some hopefully helpful pieces of information: 1. After I flashed the cerbios in bank 1 of 256, I was able to reboot to dash from the x3 menu. The cerbios animation displayed, and my evox dash booted with no issue. I then powered off. When I hit power again, it started fragging 2. I did not copy the cerbios.ini to the root of the C drive, which may be part of the issue I am facing, as it does not know to point to the evoxdash 3. When I boot with bank 1 of the 256k bios, the console still frags immediately 4. I also installed a different bios Evox8 in bank 5 of the 256, but I cannot get it to boot from that bios (on, off, on, on for the switch positions). Just constant fragging 5. When I boot with the banks that I have flashed bios to (1 and 5 256) the first boot takes a second before failing, while any other bank setting is nearly instant. I was wondering if I have any options to get to a safe mode where I can flash the bios without the power control board? Any disk drive options, or switch settings I could use I would happily buy that piece for the chip but it is basically unobtanium at this point as I am sure most people on this sub are aware. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
