Powering up that Xbox from the finds topic let to an unusual result. The boot X logo is red. And I get an error 07 screen (indicating something HDD related from the look of it) afterward that's surely no Microsoft one. Could there be a modchip inside? The system appears previously opened, missing those bottom pads. I can't see down far enough the long thin dark holes to tell what screwdriver is necessary.

You need a T20 to get the bottom screws and a T15 once inside to get the cd drive and hardrive cradle ones out.

Red X is a custom Bios and the error is more than likely the incorrect locked hard drive in the system. If it's softmodded it may be an unlocked hard drive causing the error. Or simply a bad hard drive.

I figured it out. The problem was NO hard drive. Just gone, unplugged, zilch. Oh well. Gonna ebay this one, don't need another xbox.
