Title: X-Box DuoX-2 Mod will not boot after being unpluged(fixed)
Post by: fairway2000 on November 04, 2006, 01:22:04 pm: Hello

I installed a DuoX-2 mod chip a year or so ago.It was unpluged over the winter on my boat.Now it will not boot from the power button.If I use the eject button it will boot just fine and run any game.If you boot from the power button the red light on the Mod chip flashes.The green on the power flashes and the hard drive will pulse.After 3 times the red light on the eject button will flash and will not boot.Any idea where to start?

Thanks

If it powers on to an error screen:
1. look up the error at xbox-scene or somewhere
2. leave it plugged in for an hour so the battery type thing for the clock can charge
If it doesn't power on at all:
:dunno

Thanks.Any other ideas are welcomed

My (ver. 1.6) xbox used to have boot issues after sitting around awhile, until I scraped out the alternate D0 point (on top of the mainboard) and soldered to that point instead.

Thanks
