hi all just a quick tip for those wanting to tsop but cant solder and dont have any conductive paint cut 2 tiny squares of copper tape (slug tape) about 4mm square, then cut 2 pieces of insulation tape about twice as big, stick the copper tape in the centre of the insulation tape dont try to peel the backing off the copper tape its too fiddly the plastic tape is sticky enough. make sure the shiny side faces out, now take these two conductive "Bandaids" and stick them on the tsop points, make sure they are stuck well and reassemble the xbox. run bios checker to make sure its flashable, if you were successful it will tell you your chip type and say tsop in brackets, flash your chip with your bios of choice, i recommend removing the "bandaids" after flashing, as this is temporary if you leave them they could come off and short something this wont work for sharp type chips due to the extra wire, but i flashed a 1.4 today as an experiment and it worked. alu foil might too though iv'e not tried it.
