Ok, I just finished this last night. Second time doing it and it works fine. When the modchip is switched off, the eject light is green, when you switch the modchip on, the eject light is red.

NOTE: Now this is just a dummy mod and no indication really if the xbox has been booted with the modchip on, then turned off. What I mean is, if you boot the xbox with the modchip turned on (modchip red), then while it's still on, turn the modchip off (eject light green) you will NOT be able to go on live. The xbox has been booted with the modchip's bios and is now in memory. So just try to keep it as, I boot my xbox with the switch on or off, the light indicating that status. Don't go flipping the switch while it's still on or the eject light status is worthless.

Also, this mod disables any error indication on the eject light. No ability to change the color through Avalaunch or other apps either.

Now, for the mod itself i'll try to explain as best I can, looking at the picture down below is probably easier as i'm not good with words. What I basically did was tied the red power lead for both LED's together and the green power lead on both LED's together. On the switch the middle contact on one side is the +5v(?) that went to the green side of either LED (pin 5 or 8 doesn't matter) and the conacts on either side of that are for the green side of both LED's (pin 5&8) tied together and the red side of both LED's(pin 6&7) tied together. On the other side of the switch is contacts going to the mod en/disable jumper on the modchip. Depending if you pick the top two contacts or bottom two contacts will determine weather your led is red or green when the modchip is off and vice versa.
