Help i just read that with v1.0 xbox to use a solder less chip you need to desolder some stuff on your xbox is this true

ok i want to put a chip in my xbox but i just read in this form that to put a chip in your xbox you need to desolder spots on your mobo so you can us the solderless adapter is this true can some one tell me that if i really have to do this or not cause i dont want to be messing around with a soldering iron if i do not have to

 

Edited to avoid confusion!

 

its actually really easy to do this. just place desolder braid over the lpc holes. dont be afraid to us pressure. the solder will be absorbed as if the desolder braid is sponge

 

These guys are exactly right. It's very easy to do Just use a low watt solder iron (15 watts- radioshack for $8)and some desoldering braid. easiest thing in the world. Good Luck!

 

Hi...
Just to let you know that I have recently, 1 week ago installed a xenium spice solderless in a xbox version 1.0, which have solder in the lpc holes...Guess what?

You do not have to desolder them!!!
That was my main concern since I do not have soldering/desoldering experience. I gave it a shot without desoldering, to my surprise did work perfectly, for a newbie like me went pretty good and fast, the whole process took only 10 minutes and another 15 installing the rest of the software.

I have done 3 xboxes and no problems at all.

Hope this help to everyone else that as me desoldering is a concern.

ONCE AGAIN YOU DO NOT HAVE TO DESOLDER THE LPC HOLES, JUST MAKE SURE THE SOLDERLESS ADAPTOR SEATS OK IN THE LPC.

If anyone needs help me email me at numancoreas@yahoo.ca , I will be happy to help, from installing the chip to installing all the software.

 

Hey PimpDawg,

Why would you have to desolder the LPC holes anyway? Just curious.

 

i recommend desoldering the lpc. solderless is already a pain. and with solder filling the whole the pins are going to slide. it may work now. but in most cases your pins are going to slide and your going to have to realign the pins. (just solder!!!! its not hard)

 

hey can u tell me how to install a mod chip and what do i do after that put a dashboard on or what

 

yea walter i got a spice to i need u to help me alil since u now wat to do im me at poser567 plez and tell me how to do this

 

Woah! I just remembered that you have a screw to tighten down the adapter, so you don't have to desolder the points.

However, I was just reading on Xbox-Scene and a high ranked member was saying that you should desolder the holes to create a better connection.

Sorry for the confusion...

 

Hah Hah Hah...ROTL. Nah dogg,

Nobody is attacking you, LOL. I was just wondering cause I've done quite a few boxes and never did it. I was thinking people might come banging down my door wondering why their box stopped working or something. Thanks for the info.
