PRince404 Posted November 26, 2023 Report Share Posted November 26, 2023 Damn that a lotta damage, hope the layers aren't short. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrostyMaGee Posted November 26, 2023 Report Share Posted November 26, 2023 Wow. I don’t know for sure. I’d like to see what it looks like after you scrubbed it with some 99 percent isopropyl alcohol. I’m worried about a couple of those pads too. It’s worth a shot though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweetdarkdestiny Posted November 26, 2023 Report Share Posted November 26, 2023 (edited) After looking at a 1.6 I would say it's totaly doable. The question is, is it worth it or if it would not be better to take of the rams and do a ram upgrade on another xbox with it. But, it's 100% nothing you should sell after fixing it.

I mean, try soldering to them and see if the solder bonds after cleaning them with alcohol, like @FrostyMaGee says. It's worth a shot.

I couldn’t tell for sure if the pads were gone on a few of those or if they just had a lot of detritus obscuring them. It will definitely be easier to judge once it’s cleaned up. I’m afraid a couple are gone/damaged though. That doesn’t mean it’s not salvageable of course but it would take some additional work and possible reapplication of solder mask in a few areas depending on the damage underneath. I’m curious if the other side of the lpc sustained any noticeable damage. i swear it looks like half the pads are gone though. Hope that’s not the case but that’s just the first impression for me.

It just depends on your soldering skills. At this point a cheap mod with cables would be advantageous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
