I got a new xbox V1.3 I have a Matrix chip and cant get it to work the xbox just boots three times then flashes red. I have checked and rechecked the alingment I also soldered it on directly and still no go..... I then tried this new chameleon chip with the pin header and same thing the xbox turns on and of three times..... I now have a burnt LPC port section because of all the soldoring along with a still not working Xbox any help would be great.

PS if anyone has pictures of the other locations to solder (Other end of the LPC) It would really come in handy as I said I'm sure I have messed up at lease one of the LPC soldering points.

Well for starters the only chips that work on a 1.3 are
Chameleon v1.3 and Xecuter 2's 2.2 (and maybe a few
other chips that just arrived on the scene) I am 99%
sure the Matrix does not work on a 1.2 or a 1.3

How can i tell what version of the chameleon I have? I dont have the pogo pin adapter so i wish to soldore it on directly...... Is this posible with the chameleon and a 1.3 Box?

A v1.3 Chameleon should have a clear sticker on one of the chips saying "v1.3" and only v1.3 chameleons work with v1.3 consoles, as well as the others.
