Hi,

I just installed my nme 1.2 and still didnt get the backups to work ( dont know if its my soldering or the media bla bla bla ).

any way,
I would highly recommand that you open up your xbox before you order the cip to check if you have the black epoxy like I had ( see my posting ), if you do have it then prepare to get a heat gun and a good surgical nife to remove it.

another note,
there are 5 points you need to solder,
4 are not that hard but point A is a bitch!
one tip I can give you is - get a solder iron with a tip that is as thin as you can find.
when you look at the images it looks much larger then it is, this point is so tiny I had to use a magnifing glass!

Cheers

Point A is  hard...just gotta be steady with the hand...no double espresso shot before hand though.   Not too hard if you've modded ps2's before. Some ps2's required 4-5 of those legs and all adjacent to one another.

I thought there were 6 points.  Did you not connect the LED?  
Also, thanks for the info, very helpful.  Good luck getting the backups to work

I ruined my Sammy trying to solder point A.  So I give up.  Ordered another Sammy off of Ebay (ouch) - but I want one.  So I'm looking for a good installer in my area so I don't have to worry about this anymore.  I'll stick to modding Xbox 1's...

Good luck all.  Once mine is professionaly installed - I'll report back here on media, if it worked bla bla bla...
