i may be purchasing a faulty xbox in the hope of fixing it. apparantly the power light flashes orange and on the screen it displays the message error code 16. or something like that. it may be a mod installation gone wrong. anybody got any ideas?

Sorry for not replaying an answer to ur question yesturday, i was busy, anyways yes it can be fixed if it's modded, read my xbox backup tutorial, you need to change the xbox main dashboard for evolution x dashboard (read my tutorial) after that u can get the original dashboard here (backup) here (http://megagames.com/console/cgi-bin/dl.cgi?id=xbox&file=XBox_Dashboard_Backups!zip) hope this helps :)
