i did not make a reply to this when you 1st posted it as its been a long a go that i played with the old xbox so i was thinking that someone with more info then me would reply ...lol


evox is a dashboard or it can be a bios on a mod chip that is fitted to your xbox

but i am thinking in this case its a dashboard ,,is the xbox starting up ok and going into the dashboard

if you put a backup disk in the drive then boot it ,will it boot the disk ?

edit

you might have a read here might give you a few tips

It's a long long time since I played about with these m8, (even though I still have a couple as media centres for streaming).

What screen appears when you boot with no disk in? Is it similar to this one >>

You don't have permission to view the code content. Log in or register now.

and is it the same screen that appeared before your problems?
One thing I do remember is that a non-region disk will play in black and white i.e. a PAL disk in an NTSC machine and vice-versa, could be a red herring that though.

Without knowing if it's been hardmodded (with a modchip) or softmodded (by software exploit) it's hard to advise. Although if it's been hardmodded, using a Slayers or AID (Auto Install Deluxe) disk would get you back to where you were I reckon, providing the chip install is still ok.

thanks for the reply, its a modchip for sure, the screens black and white on boot up so its not the disks, ive checked all the cables as well,
looks like ill have to go get another one,it will be cheaper than getting it repaired,:Clap::Clap::Clap:
thanks for the help.:Cheers:
