So a day ago I got a 1.6 xbox with x3 (purple) model in it, and decided to flash force480p bios while I am waiting until my 1.4 with xboxhdmi returns from installer. Flashed that bios successfully, but console does not output any video signal. Also, about a year ago I had another 1.6 xbox with x3ce chip, and I do remember that force480p bios worked flawlessly. Anyone knows what the issue could be?
Things I tried:
Wiping X3 eeprom (a+b+x+y on bootanim)
Downloading bios from multiple sources
Flashing over various methods (http flash; ftp flash; flash from internal hdd)
Flashing on both 1-4 and 5-8 banks
Trying with different HD cables (I have component cables and chimeric systems hdmi adapter)
Trying on 3 different tvs
