I need some help! I have a 1.6 box that I messed up the motherboard in so I purchased a new board. I insltalled the new board (with no chip) and now it wont boot up. when I turn the box on it turns on and off twice, then on the third time it turnes on and the console flashes red, orange red orange over and over. I have been told that I need to unlock my hard drive and then re-lock it to the new motherboard. I don't have a clue what to do. I don't wan't to buy a new HD because the one that I need to unlock is a 250gig drive.

Chip it, un-lock hd, relock it.
Unless of course the hd you want to unlock was locked to the broken 1.6 board. Someone correct me if I'm wrong but i believe thats all you have to do. PS- I recomend getting an x3 chip |

It would be easiest to chip the xbox to install HDD. But You do not have to lock your HDD, with a chipped box. Locking allows you to launch retail bios from boot, and xbox live other than that really no need to. |

So if I chip the xbox the HD should work with the new board even if the HD was working with the board I messed up. The messed up board was chipped if that matters.

The messed up board was chipped if that matters.  no, th eHD needs to be unlocked in the xbox it came out of, so in order to save the HD youll have to fix the dead motherboad |

Lets pretend I fix the broken board, how do I go about unlocking the HD so I can re-use the HD with the new board? Or is there another way to unlock a HD?

how do I get config magic? I also read somewhere that you can un-solder the eeprom chip if the board is beyond repair
