Xecuter 3, error 16 with and without chip in box Options

[tornangel]

I know I know, I'm just full of problems. lol

Ok, I have an xbox with the samsung drive in it. I had a friend install an xecuter 3 chip into my xbox.

When I got the xbox back, I turned it on and I had a screen with the big green x on it and xecuter rox my box at the bottom of it. So I kinda know the chip is installed correctly.

Anywho, me not knowing anything about chips and such... I flashed it with the xecuter 3 bios. I don't remember what banks I had switched on or off. And I don't remember the exact bios version. But I do know I needed the one with v16 behind it. And I did use that one. The flash took. Or at least I thought I couldn't get the xbox to turn on correctly.

So I continued to flash it many times with the swicthes in all kinds of positions. I know, I think that was bad. I have a copy of slayers on a disc. But I can't get the box to read it. I keep getting an error 16 message with the chip in and out of the box. And sometimes I get a sound but no screen.

Any help appreciated. And sorry it's so long.

Not a very bright move on your end.

Im guessing your xbox is a 1.6?

Theres an explanation to every error code I just don't have the link to it right now, I'll post it later if I find it.

EDIT: Found this and copied and pasted.

I get Error 16! What do I do?
Error 16... EXPLAINED...
Yes, it is a DASH ERROR, but it is due to the TIME
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
NORMAL BOOT PROCESS:
1.Xbox turns on
2. several checks are done for hardware, incuding RAM, HD, and DVD-DRIVE, just to test if they are present
3.Xbox checks SYSTEM TIME -> if no time is found -> boot dash off hard drive to set time
4. Xbox looks for default.xbe on DISC, if it is not found, goto 5
5. Xbox boots dash off of Hard drive

What is happening in your case:
1.Xbox turns on
2. several checks are done for hardware, incuding RAM, HD, and DVD-DRIVE, just to test if they are present
3.Xbox checks SYSTEM TIME ->TIME NOT FOUND -> Xbox tries to launch dash off of hard drive -> DASH NOT FOUND-> ERROR 16 - DASH ERROR

The fix:
Put back in your OLD drive (the one with the dash's still on it)
Set the time
Swap the drives without physically unplugging the xbox.

And then there's this
