Two Consoles, Two Errors

Post by AintNoThang »

Hey there gang!

I did a ton of Google searched and used the search function here, but wasn't able to find these topics from an updated source - most of the sources I found were from ~8 years ago. My apologies if this has been asked dozens of times before.

I picked up a pair of Xboxes from a secondhand store and setup to throw a quick softmod on it, but when I load up the first box I get an error that the console is trying to connect to Xbox Live, then it states Xbox Live is not responding. I suspect that somebody screwed up a previous softmod, and that's why it's doing it. I've tried swapping out disk drives for ones that I know work, but this darn thing won't boot a single game. I specifically tried Splinter Cell for the exploit and Halo 2 to see if maybe it would get the updated dash. No go. Are there any steps I can try to fix this, or is a hotswap method going to be the only way to get this darn thing unlocked and fixed?

For the second one, the same thing I suspect happened with a buggered mod, as the console throws an error code "16." I'm hoping for a simple fix for the two of these, as I have never messed around with using a mod chip on any mods I've done, and I've done well over 100 in the past years, but never have I come across these errors before. Thank you all greatly for any input or advice you could provide.

For the first one, you are going to chip this one. Sorry.

Second one...

Excellent, thanks!

Would a hotswap possibly be a solution? I have an old PC with IDE and, since I've never done one, I feel like it might be a cool experience.

As stated in the error code listing, one option is to repair it by hotswapping. Use a modern softmod or BIOS on a chip afterward to repair the damage permanently.

Happy usage!
