ironspyder1734 Posted September 25, 2021 Report Share Posted September 25, 2021 As it says in the title my Xbox is flashing orange for quite a while now like about 10 mins or so. Is this normal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OGXbox Admin Posted September 25, 2021 Report Share Posted September 25, 2021 It flashes orange for a few reasons. Usually overheating. It could also be (if orange and green) that you don't have an av cable plugged in. Others say it could be a solder splash. What has changed recently? Have you removed the clock cap?

ironspyder1734 Posted September 25, 2021 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2021 Nothing much i now took out the DVD-R disc and the softmodded Xbox booted fine. BUT...... I changed my mind read some forums that Philips doesn't play nice with DVD-R on softmodded Xbox. And it ok now, but new problem is the system now creates a static sound in the dashboard, anyway to get rid of it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaosEngineer Posted September 26, 2021 Report Share Posted September 26, 2021 Flashing orange with an increase of cooling fan speed is an caused by the System Management Controller (SMC) detecting an overheating condition. However, replacement dashboards can be configured to change the eject ring color too. With UnleashX go to: System > Settings > System page scroll down until you see the LED color section. Are any of these items set to Flashing Orange? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HDShadow Posted September 26, 2021 Report Share Posted September 26, 2021 ^That is rubbish information. Philips behave no differently whether soft or hard mod. They do seem to have a habit of failing completely and that causing boot problems more often than others. Philips disc media compatibility is not that much different from Samsung 605F and unless there is a problem with the specific DVD drive DVD-R should be good for them just like it is with all other known DVD drive types. DVD-R is the only universally Xbox friendly disc media. That has been proven time and time again with discs from a wide range of manufacturers not just brands.

ironspyder1734 Posted September 26, 2021 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2021 Huh then I probably did something wrong with the DVD-R? I was just following this vid: it starts at 21:00 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does it happen during a game? Maybe try unplug and put back the video connector as it may be slightly loose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
