ea2000 Posted January 6 Report Share Posted January 6 Hi. I was just finishing a successful repair to a 1.0 with a bad psu. Replaced psu, replaced clock cap, flashed Aladdin with Cerbios, updated hdd. Everything was working fine, dashboards, games, etc. Closed up the case and as a final thought decided to increase fan speed using Xblast OS. Loaded Xblast, set fan speed, hit reboot and... Frag with Christmas lights! Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frag with Christmas lights! Any ideas? Do you have a larger SATA hard drive installed with a cheap IDE-to-SATA adapter? Most of the cheap IDE-to-SATA adapters are slow starting after a reset and the Xbox will FRAG. If you power cycle the console, does it boot properly? What do you mean by Christmas lights: Red/Green or Red/Green/Yellow flashing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ea2000 Posted January 6 Author Report Share Posted January 6 (edited) I'm using the Startech ide to sata adapter, the good one, with an 80 pin 24 inch cable and a 1TB sata drive (locked), formatted with fatxplorer for Cerbios with C, E & F partitions. Cerbios is set to udma 5 and was booting fine before. The Christmas lights is just another name for the 3 restarts with flashing red/green. The same happens after a complete power off. Holding the power button on startup also frags. Edited January 6 by ea2000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ea2000 Posted January 6 Author Report Share Posted January 6 Well, I left the console in a corner to think about why it was misbehaving. Later on I tried it and it booted just fine. Nothing changed and I did not even open it. I swear these things are messing with me... Oh well, I have another one with a REAL problem this time, but I'll open a new post. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
