I think the xbox would have probably gone into the dreaded clock loop if that were the case. The fact that he was getting error 21 before and just changed to 16 is odd though.

You said you bought it second hand, did you mean used from a gamestore or from a non-retailer? If the warrenty is there then yah, go with that.

If you get a chip, just remember that you cannot switch HDD's unless you first unlock the current one, otherwise the mobo will reject the hookup.

Chip away....

Atleast that is what I would do, cheaper than MS repair and gives a lot more fun with the xbox...

Do some reading and if you got the skills to do it yourself do that, otherwise find someone that can. Go for DuoX2 or something like that, cheap and reliable.

I second that. Get a cheap chip and if it fails to work, then it is not much money wasted. If you choose to re-purchase, then the chip can be salvaged

I did suggested DuoX2... :P
It is very cheap and very good. Even the clones are good to be honest.
