what did u use to scrape away the epoxy? just an exacto knife?

I just did a Samsung dated October`06. I scrope away the black epoxy and did some testing for alternative points with my multimeter. It turns out that none of the epoxy needs to be scraped away (Except for the A Point). I tested the alt points and they work fine.

i used the tip of the soldering iron.. i also had a stereo microscope 10x that i used when i did this.. it was a big help. i removed the epoxy at work where we have this equipment and did all the soldering at home with my 3 soldering iron..

You should post an image of the alternative points you found so others can share your findings.

thanks for the pictures

These points worked for me and only meant I had to scrape the epoxy from the A point.

Oooooh, that epoxy looks nasty.

I can only wonder what they will try to do next to cover the points. Maybe booby trap it and then
the box will self distruct in 2 secs. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

But great job on the install.

guzzard,
I have one question for you. What is this point for? I circled it in yellow. I don't see it on Team Underdog's Samsung install guide. I just bought a Xbox and found out I have the Samsung drive and will be doing this mod as soon as I get my chip.

looks like a gnd connection to me

That is what I though too. I am guessing it goes to point B on the mod chip. But I notice on Team Underdog's website, they connect the B point to a ground directly on the modchip itself. That seems much easier to do. I was just wondering why guzzard did it this way.

is this not for the network off feature?? on the NME site it says it should be connected to the Y point but on ur picture of the chip there is nuthin soldered to the Y point

I am just about ready to get this chip but have several questions when I saw these pictures.

1.) Apparently the B solder point is connected to a ground point to set it to Samsung mode. That point could be soldered to the copper grounding point just as the picture shows. But have anyone soldered it to the modchip ground point like wizdawg has suggested and made it actually work.

2.) The +5 volt point. Is there a solder point when I scrapped the epoxy off or do I need to scrape some pbc off the board to expose a copper trace?

3.) That solder point under board with all those blue points, again do I need to scrape anything off to expose the copper so I can get a good solder joint.

I think I can solder such small joints if I practice enough with a testing board so any info would be appreciated.

There are really good questions. I would like to know the answer to #3 in particular. Can someone please answers these.

Thanks.
