that's downright idiotic. what if the guy uses ICS? changing the IP will f*** that up. what if he uses a router? changing the IP may f*** up his internet connection if the router is on a different IP range.
I really suggest you refrain from giving people tips as the ultimate, universal solution, only because it works in your enviroment.

why f*** around with BOTH IPs? it's completely sufficient to only change the IP of the xbox.

you can always start and turn off a 360 using the controller or remote.

what you are talking about would take a couple of hundred years to complete.

don't double post please.
you can use ANY IP in the same range, i.e. 192.168.0.99.

on the MB. as said about a million times.

then it can't work. you have to change the IP on the xbox or the PC.
in evox it's easier and faster to change, just go to the settings and change it, save, and reboot.

the PC has to have an IP in the same range, i.e. if the box has 192.168.1.1, the PC has to have 192.168.1.2 (or .3, .99, etc)

right off the power supply connection then.

direct connection.

cause the games are both xbox 1 and xbox 360 compatible and you are most likely playing the xbox 1 game that way.

there's no region hack for the 360 and won't be until the system is fully hacked.

no, it's 256 kb.

it's an old version of the evox bios. I think that version couldn't handle HDs over 137 GB yet, so if yours is bigger, you will need to flash to either evox m8 bios, or the xecuter bios.

the problem is, if something else was the reason why the fuse blew in the first place, this time around there would be nothing to stop it and it could blow up the PSU.. more or less literally, exploding big caps are NOT fun.

the HD has to be formatted in fat32, ntfs doesn't work.

it should be the one of that same box. otherwise if it's softmodded, you can't use the HD anymore, unless it was locked in an app like evox or configmagic. and even if you unlock it, the box will not boot anymore cause it can't load from an unlocked HD, so you would have to find a way to lock the HD with the new key (from the new eeprom) first.

the driver IC usually has a heatspreader pad on top that is supposed to lead the heat to the drive casing. did you possibly lose that?

malaysian? are you sure that's not a pressed pirated copy? because that could cause it. the region error means just that, wrong region. it could actually be an EU or JP copy with the wrong cover. there's nothing else that could cause the error.

if you have the backup of the eeprom that came with the MB, that will work of course.. I am talking about Rogero's suggestion to flash a generic eeprom.. which will also break live compatibility, btw.
