Hey,

I have a new problem with my XBOX .. when I start the xbox, it restarts 3 times, then flashes green and red .. what happens?



Thanks,

This is known as a F.R.A.G. (Flashing Red And Green Lights) aka "Christmas lights".

There are a lot of causes of the problem.

A lot of times this has to do with the motherboard or the modchip --- for example, if you botch a chip installation, you will likely get the christmas lights. Also, my chip has a 1MB capacity for bios which can be split over 4 (256kb), 2 (512kb), or 1(1mb) bank(s). I believe 2 out of the 4 banks that I'm using contain bad bios, and when I set my switch to load from those banks I get a FRAG.

So, if your chip has multiple banks, try switching to a different bank. If you had a bad flash, you will need to reprogram your chip one way or another.

I did nothing to Xbox... i turned ON and "Christmas Lights "

I have a SpiderChip.. :\

If you are comfortable with opening up the Xbox yourself you can double check that all of the wires (or pogo pins if it's a non solder chip) are in place. It's entirely possible for a console to not boot if the chip isn't correctly installed (For example, if a wire comes loose).

Okay, i will try to check all the wires of SpiderChip correctly, then i will post something.


Thanks.
