We report on the non detection of the neutron star transient SWIFT J1756.9-2508 during a 11ks Chandra/ACIS-I DDT observation performed on 2007-07-06 (starting at 01:25:11 UT). This recently discovered X-ray source, which harbors the eighth known Millisecond X-ray Pulsar, was found in outburst on 2007 June 7. Based on the observed decay rate (ATels #1105, #1107, #1108, #1111, #1114, #1117), the source is expected to have reached quiescence at the time of the observation reported here.
