Ging3rguy Posted May 24, 2020 Report Share Posted May 24, 2020 No problem, maybe just use a bit of insulation tape or a glue gun to tack it down. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've read since that if do you that it can "strain" the Xbox and reduce its life so its better to use the D0 point on the chip. What I was wondering is making it neater by using the easier D0 point hidden under the MB but hide the wire to the chip's D0 point by passing it through one of the unused LPC holes. I am thinking it would be sensible to put some slack in the wire so the chip could be disconnected without needing to cut that wire or de-solder it either end. So is there any problem routing it through one of those free holes or using a couple of inches more wire for that reason? If you Xbox is a version 1.0-1.4 it is not going to do any damage by linking the D0 to ground.

HDShadow Posted May 25, 2020 Report Share Posted May 25, 2020 So only applicable to the v1.6 then, so in this case doesn't apply. That solves that matter - thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep and on the 1.6 boards that I chip I normally cut the LFrame trace and not worry about the D0 connection.

When you say the red Xbox sign you mean the X in the middle for the screen is red ? Cheers SS Dave Soft modding is like masturbating, It gets the job done but it's nothing like the real thing.
