.

I have just had that problem m8, but i have installed a chip in my xbox and it was a lose wire from the chip which caused the xbox light firstly to flash on and off 3 times then turn green and red.
So open the xbox up,

hi m8 it sounds like the hard drive has crashed
what i would do is contact xbox.com and get them to give u the
code for the xbox hard drive
i had the same problem with my machine and just turned it on
and press reset for 3 seconds and it worked again
but if its a chipped box could be a wire like the guy says

i am having the same probs , just put the chip in turn it on , trys to start up 3 times and then button flashes red and green :( , so i tryed to reset but still nothing and checked wires and all in the proper places , so if i get the h/d code what do i do with it ?????

well i just called xbox.com and spoke to a tecky and they just sed take it back to the shop and get a new 1 lol .
so what do i do now , cos i when i asked about h/d code and stuff they sed u can do it but they would want u to send it to them for repair and could take a month or so :(
any idea's

hi m8 nope that a lie if u tell them the xbox hard drive has crashed they
will give you a special code its simply by pressing the joy pad in a way
and it will reset the machine
phone up and ask again just say i have just bought it and its crashing
and they will give u the code for that xbox

Sorry to say, But jaffcakey, it is not the harddrive which is the problem m8.
As i said in my previous post, i had the same problem after just installing my chip. The green light trys to come on 3 times then flashes red then green. there is either a short on the board from a wire as the wires are pressed against the board when it is in the xbox,
I fixed mine by moving some wires about, and now works fine.
:)

just as a quick point m8......i got my diagrams from enigmah on saturday and had probs with not booting up.....just a black screen.
but just by chance i double checked yesterday and the diagrams were different...points 1-8 and 21 had changed.
stusy sorted it all out :) (cheers stusy) and all is well.....might not be any use but u never know.SuP.

The Xbox is not modded.

well firstly thankx guys for your input :) and to bring u upto date i took the chip out and it works fine which would suggest that the h/d is ok and its 1 of 2 things ether my soldering is crap (wich i checked 3 times) or the chip is naff , so im gonna try it again tonight and hopefully it will work :) fingers crossed , ill post later with result wich could be wah hay it work or aaahhhhh its gone out the window lol

thankx again

OMFG u no what i reckon im useing the wrong bloody wire , i just read a post regarding kynar 30awg is this true and is that the only wire that will do the job ??????? i went to me local electrical shop and got some wire that looks like telephone wire and was told that would do the job , just goes to show they will sell u ote

Did you re-chip it yet?

A friend of mine has a xbox and when you turn it on the light in the front is green and then it flashes red and green. If you take the av cable out it flashes green yellow. Also the cd tray won't eject. Has anyone run into this problem before or have any suggestions short of sending it back to MS for repair?

Ok can we PLEASE get back on the subject. Has anyone experienced this problem WITHOUT their Xbox being modded. If so how did you remedy the problem?

Does anyone think the chip could be duff? I am having the same problem. I unchip it and then its fine. I've two others without any problems.

nyknickerbocker, If you box is not modded why don't tou just take it back to the shop where you got it from??

People having this problem, Have you used + and - points?? i.e. linked - point to the middle point? I think this could have knacked the chip! I think the L and P point replace the +, - thing. any one any idea?

Had my chip installed last night and am getting the same problem. Also, is anyone elses giving a beep code? Mine gives two short beeps while the light flashes green, then flashes red/green alt and the tray wont open.

If anyone have more infor on this, please post in!! :-)

c.grex - what are you talking about!?

anyone get thiers fixed yet im having the same problem with mine. im still waiting on a email from the dealer i got it from. ill post any progress

I have had that problem AFTER my Xbox was chipped with Xtender. Removed the chip and it works fine. I'm getting it rechiped on Thursday. Will let you know what happens. hopefully just a missed point or something.
@c.grex - what are you talking about?...

He is refering to the points on the mod chip diagram of the Enigmah that was fooked up in the factory, the one that is still final but needs a link to be fitted and 2 wires on the same point as one is not used, am i right?

Peace

Oh. i was talking about an Xtender install... Sorry.
