http://www.xbox-scene.com/articles/x2lplus-d0-foil.php (if u wanna try..)

let us noe how it goes..
ive heard the bottom d0 is easier.. but u gotta take out the board for that, and thats kind of a pain
check those out though

if yo uhave arthritus, rest your hand on something ;)

[seaneyb2003]

thanks guys i stuck that to my favorites.

[seaneyb2003]

that 3rd links a bloody good idea. just had a flash in my brain solder a wire onto the tin foil shuve the tinfoil in and you got yourself a bond. i also like the second one too.

[seaneyb2003]

how easy is it to screw up the do point?

[spedmetal]

That foil thing is getto!

[AXmichigan]

hehe yea it is
but it supposedly works
the d0 points a pain in the @$$ to say the least
its a pretty strong spot, so as long as u dont mess up too bad
ull be fine using it

I do spots like the d0 on PS2's left and right all day long. Its just like soldering to the via's. Look at this.

yea man i think i just get myself a xbit they look so easy to install. while im at it i get a new phillips dvd rom :D

[spedmetal]

Cool. Yeah I was thinking of the xbit also. I like the way they have the USB way of flashing the bios a little better then the X2 with the printer cable. But if I hadn't messed up my applex V I would be using that right now. Phillips drive? Is that because you have a V1 and know the drive in it is crap. What are you going to have to do to the Phillips to make it work?

[seaneyb2003]

simple swap of the drives its exacly the same as a pc there be no diffrence :)

Oh... I hope your right. Because I have seen all kinds of tutorials on how to make a regular PC DVD-Rom work with the Xbox and it’s not as simple as just swapping it out.

[seaneyb2003]

no i mean dvd rom drives lol

HUH? yeah thats what I mean too. unless you mean the HDD drive

[seaneyb2003]

i got a v5 ps2 mobo sped is there any vias that are the same size as the d0 point?

[spedmetal]

You mean a V5 PS2 right??? Well no there are no vias that you need to solder to on a v5, v6, v7, v8 all of them have fairly good size pads. That picture is of a V9 and all 8 of those via's are the same size as the d0 on the Xbox.

[seaneyb2003]

bugga

[AXmichigan]

wait is this a ps2 forum?
i thought not!

[peachymojo]

lol AXmichigan i thought i was in the wrong forum for a min. there! :p just because their solder points are smaller! but you do have to give them credit for that (but thats all)

[TylerDurden]

Us ps2 guys are taking over the xbox forums little by little. :eek: :p
