just got it modded, went to play a game and it hung with a black screen, so remembered a m8 telling me that sometimes you have to go into settings on xbox and set xbox to ntsc.....heheh so i done that and now i have nothing at all (i hear the xbox kicking in and doing its thing but nothing on the tv)

tried and made sure my tv is compatible with ntsc

how do i go about totally reinstalling the software on it (slayers) i got the lead to ftp stuff onto it but thats about all i know

any light on this little prob would be great

you need to burn enigma video mode Switcher to a Disk.

Boot it and press "A" (or "B" whatever it was to set it to pal

Reboot.

have tried that already but still cant see nothing on tv, its just a black screen all the time, so basically i cant see wot im doing wotever i load in to xbox, i know the enigma switch is supposed to be the one to use but i went into setting and changed video mode from there (i think it set to ntsc japan )

ppl who chipped it originally said they would sort it for a small cost Smile

just though there must be a cheaper option to do it my self

FFS sounds to me like they fucked it up! small fee indeed. Make them sort it for nothing.

how is that the fault of the person who fitted the modchip.

Thats definitely problem with chip. I had similar problem black screen, nothing on tv no error code also sometimes i heard xbox boots up but there was no screen. I couldn't find a solution to fix this but but it worked flawlessly for almost 2 years (never count it) . I called a guy who modded a lot of boxes and he told me that my chip is probably f****d up and to fix this i should mount a new chip or just mod it with no-modchip method. Now everything is ok . So if u just modded your box and after that u have that f*****g black screens of death Smile(i know your pain bro) its definitely prob with chip (bad modding)check if everything is properly soldered if yes send it to another "specialist" and let him fix it.

he is telling you what he did, its a commen user fault.

Chips Frag when they are badly installed,

Turn the chip off, hell rip it out... he has changed the Video mode, it causes this problem on some TV's
