    hello, I'm experiencing this:

    Tries To Boot Three Times and then starts flashing red and green. Also Known as "Christmas Lights" In my experience this is due to a failed mod chip and broken traces. I have also seen it on two stock Xboxes doing the same thing on the stock boxes it is worth installing a modchip to see if it can boot with a mod bios.

    I opened it up and couldn't find any broken traces. anyone actually fix this problem with a modchip? I might just have to risk it anyway, but just want to know if anyone on here has been successful in sorting out this issue ;)

    You can fix it with a mod chip if it's just a problem with the standard bios.
