This is copied from Team Xecuter and not my own i take no credit for it... - K3rn3l (1) take take your Xbox apart and Unplug the DVD Rom and Hard Disc. Remove the screw next to the LPC. There is no need to remove the motherboard from the case. Make sure your Xbox is connected to your TV but do not plug in the power at this stage.

There is no need to remove the motherboard from the case. Make sure your Xbox is connected to your TV but do not plug in the power at this stage. (2) Align the Xapter in place over the LPC. there is no need to connect the d0 wire at this stage. (3) Using the correct sized Philips screwdriver, screw the Xapter to the motherboard using the supplied screw. Do not tighten TOO much at this stage - this is purely to make sure the alignment is all correct and fairly secure. (4) Here is a shot of the Xapter installed taken from above. (5) Now this is the important part of the technique. This works EVERY time. Connect the X2 mod onto the Xapter. Now plug in the power to the Xbox and power on. Apply a LOT of pressure to the top of the chip (note the whites of my fingers from applying pressure) - you will feel the Xapter sink quite an amount into the motherboard. The plastic mould of the Xapter should now be flush against the motherboard. You should feel it kinda click into place. See how the mod suddenly lights up Remember you tightened up the screw before? Well get your screwdriver and tighten that sucker down - you will notice there is a LOT more play now you have applied force to the mod. This is where you have to exercise a little caution - make sure you don't over tighten the screw. There is quite an amount available to you, but just use your own judgement when screwing it to its maximum torque. (6) I've illustrated below how the mod looks if you screw it into the board without following my technique described in point (5). As you can see there is quite a difference and I'm absolutely certain this is where users with problems are going wrong. (7) Now for that pesky D0 point. Again I'm reading similar technique mistakes with this - people saying they have trouble on it staying in the hole. This is super easy guys. First unplug the power from the Xbox and remove the mod that should be fitted to the Xapter if you followed what I've instructed so far. Lift the D0 wire and slot into the hole - now just push it down. You may feel the wire bend a little but you should also feel it "clicking" into the D0 via hole. Do this right and that sucker ain't going anywhere. (8) Now for the acid test. There is no need to connect your DVD Rom or Hard Disc to test if you install is correct. Simply plug in the mod and enable it. Plug in the power to the Xbox and turn on. You should have a green LED on the switch, 2 blue LED's on the X2 and a FlashBIOS Cromwell bios screen (if you have that particular bios installed which is what the mod is shipped with from brand new). if you see this screen that's it you've done it - well done. You should make sure the switch is working correctly. Disable the mod and the LED should turn red - now power cycle the Xbox - it should boot to the default Microsoft start-up (green flubber / X logo etc). Your install is now 100% - unplug the power - connect up your DVD Rom and Hard Disc and test everything again with all your bits connected. You're ready to rock n roll
