How do you make the probes stick on?  Do you heat the wire and just poke it through.
When you are done, heat it up and yank it out?

[garlon]

I just put a bit of solder to the probe, touch it with soldering iron and it stick to the MB points very easely. They are actually the resistor´s legs
And yes when i´m done with read/write nand i just touch it with iron and they come out very easely too and don´t leave a mess of solder on the MB

HELP>>>Everythings plugged up but when i run nandpro after it scans i get 'Could not detect flash controller, Fatal Error' 360 is plugged in. I read eariler that the parallel port has to be in spp mode i believe. But my bios only has Bi-directional, EPP, and ECP and i've tried all 3 same result. I suck at soldering maybe thats it heres pics. http://img39.imagesh...=0129002152.jpg

Hey there. Quick question about the resistors. Went to get some today but as I don't know a great deal about electronics I got a bit confused. For 100 ohm resistors there seems to be many different kinds. I showed the guy at the store one of the links from this topic and even though it wasn't really in English he said that it would be extremely hard to find resistors with 22MOhm something. As I didn't really know what he was on about I left the shop feeling like a total douche bag. Could anyone point me in the right direction with the specifics of a 100 ohm resistor for this. Now to be honest I feel like a douche even asking this question but if you don't ask you'll never know I guess??

he told you that about the 22M Ohms because that´s is fact 22 Mega ohm or 22000000 Ohm resistor! You don´t need that!
you just need the 100 Ohms Resistor 1/4w or 1/2w

Hi your pictures are a bit blurry but do you have the black line of the diode facing the MotherBoard side?
Check all your wiring again, solder points. Get a multimeter check for shorts and continuity! Take your time!
If u get that error again try with another computer.

heres a pic of the diode its on the lbt thing the black line is facing toward the 360

[garlon]

That can be your problem!
The diode must be connected directly to the motherboard and not in lpt plug.
Take a look at THIS IMAGE

One quick question
how would I go about cutting the metal part on the case were the hardrive usually attaches to? I want to have my cable be just like the one in this tutorial, but I have no clue how I would get the cable outside my xbox.

Ok thanks will go back today and get what I need. Should be fun.
Thanks garlon

Heres a close up of the 5 pins without wires what do i need 2 do looks like i should clean it up but what should i use?

[garlon]

shit mate your board seems a bit overheated... u should only touch it with the soldering iron for a few seconds.
To clean that solder u can use desoldering wire or desoldering pump. To remove excessive flux u can alcool

I'll second that, mine didn't work with the diode on the plug, changed it to the board and it reads perfectly every time. Think most tutorials have been updated to say this now but early on it wasn't clear until you searched.

[vicaversa6923]

I found the problem i used a mutilmeter to test the power on the points that need to be soldered and 5 out of the 7 are not getting power. So im going to go get some desolder braid and see if i can get the excess solder off and try again.

Also i dont have and cant find any 30 gague wire for the three 330 ohm connections but i do have some thick 18 gague wire will that work?

[vicaversa6923]

i give up i can't  get the multimeter gague to move on those 5 ive cleaned them and used the desoldering braid
