Sweet. Don't mention it.

BTW, pointdablaame, you probably wouldn't know this if you haven't specifically used an X3 modchip, but when Chad refers to the LED being red he's talking about this one. That logo lights up different colors depending on whether the mod is successful and what mode you boot up into. He talked about FRAGing earlier, but I think right now he's talking about this thing. You want it to be blue or purple, I can't remember. If it's red there's a problem with the install, or maybe the bank-selection dip switches there are configured wrong. I can't remember exactly, it's been about a year since the last (and only) time I installed an X3.

That may explain what I saw... though I think it was orange and green.

Yup... never used those before. Now that you say it, I know what you're talking about, but I wouldn't have thought of it otherwise. Good call.
ChadTower:
To clarify, shmokes was right about what I was saying... though pointdablame was right about the flashing eject button LED (though IIRC it was orange and green).
The LED on the external switch goes blue if it is enabled, red if disabled, and purple if set to use the backup BIOS (which is recommended to be FlashBIOS but doesn't have to be).
BTW, the stupid plastic switch on the PCB level hardware protection circuit snapped off. It didn't damage the circuit or the switch housing but the lever is gone. I have to switch it with a tiny screwdriver now. Took nearly zero force to break it.
