soldering tips
 

Hey,

i need tips on how to solder on the do point for an apple x

so that's the chip you bought then? lol not being disrespectful but the questions you've asked i thought you'd be an expert by now
lol :p

umm yea sure...?
try some of these:

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 ;)

thanks guys i stuck that to my favorites.

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.

how easy is it to screw up the do point?

That foil thing is getto!

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

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?

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

and I remember when MS said it was impossible to hack lol.

really lol shows how much ms know then!

Or maybe it was just lack of interest. :p



JK. :D




Tyler!

yea there really gonna think that lmao. lol tyler u do crack me up sometimes.

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.

no i mean dvd rom drives lol

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

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

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.

bugga

wait is this a ps2 forum?
i thought not!

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)

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