Modchip Problem.

Going back to the chip D0 thing whilst I'm waiting for the Kynar wire I was going through the advice here and in my Aladdin chip thread about wiring the 'easier' D0 point on the bottom of the MB and grounding it to a screw surround rather than the D0 pad on the chip.

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.

So only applicable to the v1.6 then, so in this case doesn't apply. That solves that matter - thanks.

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 ?
