Well...HERES AN UPDATE!!!

I rebooted...power then eject...VIDEO CAME ON!! I then ran my system for abit...shut it off and turned it back on and it was fine!! NOW...I put the E3 back, andwhat do ya know...NO EFFIN VIDEO AGAIN!! I tried my buddies that I seen work on his...still no video. Used a diff esata station...no video. So...what do you guys think now?! I will try the cardboard cutout on the GPU and CUP heatsink now...dont think its gonna work..but hey...GOTTA TRY EVERYTHING.

vb_encryption_vb Is the hard drive plugged in? Can you enter recovery? Reasons I ask is cause I just downgraded this console with no issues. Did you replace the heatsink paste? Did you put cardboard between the heatsink clamps so you would not short?

Yes...the esata station is plugged in, yesI put new paste on the GPU and CUP, and no I can not get into recovery when I am in the black screen of annoyance! And when you say BETWEEN the heatsink clamps...you mean on the sheild under the clamp??

Im gonna have to agree with you on that! I punched it and its started to work. Then I rebooted it....back screen again. I rally am so lost on this. My homie who did his said hes gonna take a look at it next week if I cant get it going...but I wanna keep on trying. Is there a way just "boot" the system normal with the dip switches??

Try removing everything and see if it boots

Did that. And it booted up. Ihave 3 E3 flashers here...all of them are doing this BSoA and I didnt write anything but the update to the flasher (non dual update) and made several backup of the BIOS while being on a black screen!! Dude...I havent had this much problem with a mod in my life...and I use to do the Xbox 1 mods all the time!!!

I have seen some youtube videos on the e3 flasher. try taking off the face plate and see if it boot up if it does . if it work that way then there is a problem or a short with the faceplate . I would also check the cable to see if there any creases in it .
