This is somewhat irritating me now. Anyhow here's what happens. I'll play the Xbox fine, then I'll move it to a different TV and it acts ups and doesn't want to power up.

It will turn on, then shut off by itself, then once in a while during trying to power up it'll flash Red/Orange...

It'll also power up with no Light at all, but no picture or sound. Now it does ALL these symptoms, all the time, EVERY time I move the Xbox from TV to TV...

Any ideas?

Did you drop the xbox when you where moving it?

No, well atleast I haven't and I'm the user of it %90 of the time, but it doesn't sound like anything's loose....

I was thinking maybe it's to do with the A/V cord, but it seems fine... atleast that's what I thought the flashing Red/Orange light would mean.

It does it everytime I move the damn thing, but I don't disconnect the A/V cable at the xbox side, only at the TV side...

But I don't want to limit the possibilities of what the problem could be, so I'm eagar to hear everyones opinion on what the problem could be.

THANKS!

Sounds like you used a nosolder modchip. If this is the case, when you were moving it, the pogopins moved a little so now you cannot use the modchip unless you re-seat it (stick it back to where it was). A lot of people complain about their modchips moving when they use pogopins, this is why soldering is highly recommended. But you have what you have so learn to make do. In the case you soldered your modchip in, one of your wires came loose, most likely your d0. Just resolder and all should be well. If both these don't help, post back. Good luck.

I have had this problem before with the old X-Ecuter 1 chips when soldered directly to the motherboard... It seems no matter how much solder you add to the half-moon part for an earth, there is no real way to get a decent joint to the screw hole, better to use wire ala X2.

What chip are you using?

Someone just brought me a box that does the exact same thing. With the exact same senario. When this happened the guy took it to a friends, they plugged it with s-video monster cables to the guys pc, booted it and red/orange. was working 1hr before hand.

from what i've read. it either sounds like a bad tsop, which i don't see being the case here, because it's never been tsop flashed before. and according to llamma.com, he's got one that works with an rf adaptor but not component. In my case this sounds like the case, something video fried. I've got a buddy bringing over an rf adaptor now. will let you know what happens.

Anybody with this experience got any advice?
