1) easy only 4 wires. use the ALT points!
2) try the nme-360 main site as well.
3) not difficult to remove, since NO TRACES are CUT. and its only 4 points.
4) leave your original firmware on the xbox360 dvd drive and install and you are done.
and you can use the 162C for your backing up. more details at the nme-360 site.

After closer looking (at both the tutorial on modarea and the team underdog site), i have noticed that you must solder four wires from the modchip to the four points (one just to the side of the modchip, two to the right of the SST chip and one on the other side of the board). Now i have no idea if the modchip comes with the four wires already soldered, but either way, i know they need to be connected to the spots shown on the modchip.
Now is that all? does the modchip just "rest" on the board? Or I hope thats not a noobish question. And yeah, if it just rests on there, then all i need to do to remove it would be to heat up the soldering points of the four wires connected to the drive, which im sure isnt that difficult

Im sure i may need future help if i decide to get this modchip, lol. But for now, i just have one about soldering. I've asked a similar question about this elsewhere, and i got replies that it was hard and could easily damage the dvd drive and that i have to "dremel" on the dvd drive board and i have to remove the eproxy. Is that correct? Or are those replies from people who just don't like the NME and may be trying to persaude me not to get one?
Some say its easy, some say its hard. im just confused

Thanks a lot for your help so far though.
