On/Off Controller Mod

You need to make sure you disconnect the yellow wire going to the controller port inside the Xbox.  That sync signal is used for lightguns.  You are disconnecting it from the Xbox and reusing the controller wire to be able to ground the power control line that signals the System Management Controller (PIC processor or Xyclops chip) to power on/off the console.

Your switch is a normally open momentary switch installed in the controller.  One side of the switch tied to ground and the other to the yellow wire in the controller cable.

I have that done but what I am not fully understanding is in regards to working on the mobo for this mod. Specifically the (red wire) that must be soldered to the 2 pin & other end gets soldered to the stripped yellow cable of controller port 1

You are tieing in parallel the new switch mounted in the controller with the power switch on the front panel printed circuit board (PCB).

Your switch must be a normally open (N.O.) momentary push button. 

Pin 2 is tied to the Power button output on the front panel PCB which connects to the motherboard via the all yellow cable. frontpanelheader640.jpg.960d859b6de2f91db13ef16e05415695.jpg

This signal goes to the pull-up resistor and current limiting signal resistor on the motherboard

then on to the System Management Controller - PIC processor or Xyclops chip depending on which version Xbox motherboard you have.

A 1.6 is slightly different as the standby power supply voltage is 5Vdc instead of 3.3Vdc on previous versions.  So a simple voltage divider is used to create a ~3.3Vdc level when the power button is not depressed that goes to the Xyclops chip's Power_SW input pin.  Same goes for the Eject button. See the page at the link below for a more detailed explanation.pe_trace_16.jpg.6ae90527eff7c809f0f482569f12c865.jpg
