I'm an absolute cretin and have wanted to go for a paint job similar to the look of the official Mountaindew xbox but instead of neon green i'll have it as neon orange or something. What would you guys recommend?

It's not the wiring I would thing it's the gold contacts on the board and the rubber under the A button is dirty.

Soft modding is like masturbating, It gets the job done but it's nothing like the real thing.How should I go about cleaning it?

HaHa the controllers operate on 5 volt so the worst that would happen is it did not work. The fact it's work is all that matters.

Soft modding is like masturbating, It gets the job done but it's nothing like the real thing.Only issue im really having is that the A button doesnt register with light taps, I have to press and hold noticeably to get it going. Is that wiring or just how I put it together causing that?

Is it possible to do a full on cable replacement? I'd like to have the cable as intact as I can get it.
EDIT: If there doesnt happen to be a method of replacing the wire or any spare wire sellers out there, what steps would you recommend for identifying/repairing the damage section of the cable? -
2 of the 3 original xbox controllers I bought a few weeks back off of a ebay arent working, everything feels fine but the xbox doesnt seem to realize theyre plugged in even if I swap out the break away cables. Not really sure what could be causing this other than a guess that its the wire itself. Any tips on how to repair or replace the issue so these work?

Seems to be starting fine now, thanks man! Removed the four you marked as well as one that seemed a little tall along with the unnecessary one you pointed out.

I would triple check all the connections to do with the modchip and have a look for solder splashes.
I you can post some pics of the chip install that would help.

Soft modding is like masturbating, It gets the job done but it's nothing like the real thing.This wasnt a problem that occured until after I replaced the IDE cable and HDD so im uncertain if that would be the case

SO when I turn it on, it starts and stops a few times before it finally gets going and then when it does I get no image or sound and the light just flashes red and green. At first I thought it was my IDE adapter on my new hard drive, but when I replaced the unnamed brand one with a startech it still did it. To be clear, my xbox DOES work if I keep fucking with the power button and I can play games normally (Have not extensively tested to see if it randomly shuts off or anything after a long period of time. Anyone know what the problem could be?

The cable sounds like it will be alright they are 40 pins and 80 wires ..
On the adaptor if there is a link to select master/slave make sure it is on master.
and a pic would be helpful..

Soft modding is like masturbating, It gets the job done but it's nothing like the real thing.I think I bough the startech cable as it was the only even remotely decent looking one I could fine and yeah it should be an 80 pin. I have a converter as a go between my hard drive and it since it wouldnt plug straight into the thing, the middle cable for the DVD drive I had to fold alot because it wasn't the way round so im wondering if thats whats causing it. I'll get a picture of it here in a bit
-
Not sure if this is because of my heatsink or some other issue, but ever since I put in my new hard drive and have been using my xbox more, ive noticed itll refuse to turn on (itll just turn itself off and on without ever coming up with any visuals or audio) or itll flash red and green. I read that this could be an issue with how the IDE is cable is put in, but I had to fold it alot just to get it all in the right positions to be plugged in :'/ Edit: I was able to get it to turn itself back on properly after I unplugged it for a bit and plugged it back in, unsure if thats a one off fix or related to whats going on?
-
I replaced my thermal paste, i'll let you know if I have any extensive issues
-
YIKES. I forgot to plug in the power cable into the dvd drive, its all installed properly. was just distracted when trying to put it together lmao! Sorry for the trouble
-
I bought the hard drive used, but I believe they said they cleaned it out before putting it up for sale. I also had to put electrical tape on the back of the adapter because it had no cover on it and the capacitor pins would of been dangerously close to touching the hard drive itself
-
Thats the issue, I literally cant open the disc drive. Pressing the eject button just makes the XBOX screen glitch out for a moment
-
I'm using a terabyte western digital hard drive with a new IDE cable and adapter if that matters.
