Hi everyone. I'm posting now hoping to get some help with my Xbox. I haven't used it for 5 years and I took it out again 3 days ago and now it started doing what's in the video (link at the bottom): the image glitches and goes black. When this happens, the power and eject buttons do not work at all and the only way to turn it off is to unplug it from the socket. By the way, it's a v1.1 XBox. If anyone has any idea what could be the problem, I'd appreciate the help. Here's a link to a video showing the issue: https://streamable.com/rsie40

Title is weird I know. Let me explain. Got an Xbox with faulty HDD. Installed OpenXenium chip (D0 on MB to D0 on chip) with PrometheOS 1.5.0. Installed 120GB SSD drive with a SATA/PATA adapter. Formatted HDD in PrometheOS. Copied evox dashboard and XBlast onto the console. Can boot into dashboard This is where I wanted to use XBlast to see if TSOP is writeable - but without writing to it. I know it doesn't matter with the stock BIOS. This is more a thing about trying random stuff for the fun of it. I get the "No valid Flash device Detected!!!" and I immediately thinks its because the modchip is active and hides it. Am I correct in that assumption? So my strategy now is to copy stock files over FTP from the TruHeXEn 2021 StockFiles/FactoryC and E, and pull off the modchip. This way the system should function EXACTLY like an unmodified XBox (only difference is the SATA SSD) Booting works just fine. I can even play games. So it IS in fact a stock XBox right now running a stock BIOS and the stock Dashboard (I assume. I didn't put it on the HeXen image) from a locked hard drive. Ok, so to read the TSOP info I need to be able to run XBlast. This requires a modded system. So I run the Endgame exploit from a USB drive. It goes all the way without problems. But when rebooting the final time, it just reboots to black. The flubber animation is there, but it's black afterwards. If I reconnect the modchip and check the contents of the hard drive it looks like the exploit has placed all the files it should. Am I trying something that is not supposed to work? The only things different from a completely stock system is: 1. The SATA SSD with adapter and 80 pin cable 2. The two solder bridges to enable TSOP writing 3. A wire soldered to D0 going to a disconnected modchip

Hi, Funny title, less funny behavior : my 1.6 xbox won't run chimp. I have another soft-modded 1.6 on which chimp works quite well, so I copied the chimp app folder over to the new one, but no luck. I tried downgrading from component video to composite, but no luck. I tried renaming the Chimp folder to chimp, but no luck. I get to th first screen, linux boots, "starting chimp" is displayed in green and then nothing. What should I do? TIA Serge
