ok so it seems I may have a problem then ive read in a few places that the xbox wont boot up!  which is what mine does ill know more once I get the chip just curious if I may have made a mistake installing the breakaway which does happen time to time this is my first xbox so it wouldn't surprise me if I did mess something up  heres the symptoms as of now 

push power lights up yellow orange shuts off repeats that cycle one more time and then turns on a 3rd time and blinks red to green and stays on but nothing load on screen

Ahh, yes, my mistake. 

The Aladdin chip has its own ground points for LFRAME. You cut the LFRAME trace on your board to make sure it doesn't fry your console's MCPX chip over time. So your console is looking for a BIOS, but it can't find one - because you essentially chopped its head off. No big!

You can temporarily fix this with a little bit of wire and tape if you wish to use the console in the meantime, but you should be back up and running when you're able to supply it with a BIOS over the LPC port (aka, installing a modchip)

 

FWIW, this is an optional step from what I understand. But it's certainly not one that hurts as replacing your MCPX chip... not gonna happen.
