regarding temp, would you recommend ~100 degrees higher than the melting point (so in this case, like 300 or a tad under). I have also heard of people lifting pads if the iron is *too* cold as well edit: oops i can't read. i do have some 60/40 lead solder so 200 sounds like it'd work

G'day all! i've recently got myself a soldering iron and am eager to TSOP my 1.1. I've not yet used the specific soldering iron (waiting for a practice kit to arrive in the mail) but i do have some experience with soldering so i generally know what i'm in for. The main issue is that the fear of messing something up and rendering the console useless is immense! I've barely used it as is so as to not wear out the hard drive, so it'd be a shame to have to bin it. What would be the correct method to join the required points. From many of the sources i've seen, the general strat (without using conductive ink or wire) seems to be apply solder to iron apply iron to points and move it around for no more than ~2 seconds pray that the points have been bridged is this correct? would it be a good idea to use flux on the points or would it not really do anything? Cheers!

Welcome to OGxbox!

Theres a dash called UIX which might be worth a look https://digiex.net/threads/user-interface-x-uix-download-replacement-xbox-dashboard.13752/

As far as i'm aware, a lot of it is straight from the actual MSDash. It does look like some top tier stuff.

Athloni's MSDash doesn't seem to be available anywhere else. Legend!
