The findings here have nothing whatsoever to do with being pessimistic.

I'm glad I read this post, but at the same time I felt alot better before I did.  Regardless, I've been unable to link to the diagram.  If at all possible could you maybe send a copy? [email protected]       Thanks

There no guess work when the data sheet of the CPLD says don't ground out more the 50ma with a single pal block of this chip when we are clearly grounding out 72ma. You're right though it's much easier to ignore the problem then directly deal with it.

until something is for sure. & not guess work.!

The measurements and findings are certainly not guess work. Alright the long term effects are unknown but the actual theory has been checked out and backed up with measurements.
The zero amount of problems then would not include this one from a previous post I read

Can anyone send a link or some info on the fault with the v1.6 board re the mmbt3906 transistor . Can't seem to find it. sounds like what i have here

If the heaps of 1.6 boxes you have modded over the last year do  start to give problems remember what you said and don't come bleating about here will you?

Just an extra chancer, the mmbt3906 on the 1.6 had no mod on board!

Have there been lots of boxs being returned due to this problem.? (NO)

You can not speak for all modded 1.6 boxes out there so I will disregard that.You don't even know how many of your modded boxes have packed in, namely the customer who had his box modded 6 months ago but does not return it when it goes wrong. If abox lasts above a few months the owner would not associate failure with  the chip install anyway so may just replace or have the box fixed elsewhere (unless you give a 2 year no quibble warranty)
It does not matter to me what you do with your mods is your problem your descision. But to call this "Guess Work" shows your lack of understanding of how this has been checked.
The point about doing the mod causing damage does not hold water either. How many people wreck their boxes fitting the mod ?? Cutting the trace and installing the resistor is no more difficult than doing the LPC rebuild and mod anyway in fact when installing it takes an extra 30 seconds to do for a competent installer. the people who damage the box cutting should not be doing it anyway, besides which who are all these people do they PM you and tell you how they damaged there Xbox doing this??... didn't think so. So that is also pure speculation by you.
Hippo is right its easier for you to ignore the possibility but i hope this is not the last post in here if only to give people some info on this. This measure just to re-iterate is discretionary and only advisory no one is saying you have to hack your box to bits.

That is not true.  I had a 1.6 with a SmartXX ver2 chip & PCB rebuild, it worked fine with no chip...even with Live!

I blew the board though, moving it to an older case & didnt know to remove the metal tab near the video port :-(
