ok, so soldering the resistor is no problem for me. im just wodering, do i still cut that trace because that isnt the lframe point i used, X3. just kinda confused about that

If I add the resistor and cut the trace will I still be able to turn my modchip off and use my xbox? Any negative effects to doing this mod?

Excellent diagram thanks.
Yes you can still use the mod functions as normal but with a better long term outlook for your box.

What about my setup -- I've got an X-Chip on a 1.6 mobo and I've used the alternate D0 underneath the board.

Cheers for the guys who posted the pic to me thanks

If you need it still skaaz drop me a mail and I will send it

Has anyone installed the resistor in 1.6 and duox2 install and has pics?
will be using the bt point on the reset switch as well

I read somewhere that the duox2 doesn't need the resistor but cant find or confirm this so would be interested in your findings Chancer

I installed the mod in a crystal today with the resistor (only just seen the possibility of the DuoX2 not needing it, going to check this)
Basically cut the trace shown in the picture. Fit the resistor as shown. (You can check all is well at this point if you measure between the 2 vias where you cut the trace with a multimeter. It reads 680ohm which is the value of the resistor you added.
Connect the D0 (Lframe) from the bottom of the resistor (The underneath Lframe point) to D0 on the DuoX2 and the bT point as normal.
I can confirm that this works 100 percent like this with this chip.
I will report back on my findings with the scope for this chip possibly tomorrow. As mentioned earlier the resistor may not be needed with this chip.

I just tested a dou x from eurasia on the scope and it appears to use a similiar set up as what I have in mind for my new chip in that it's pulsing a few times as needed during boot then goes high impendance. So basicly no resistor needed, it's tied low so briefly you'll miss it if you blink an eye.

Thanks Hippo

so xenium ice and duox2 dont have this problem? if anyone finds out any info if team smartxx or xecuter fixes this, please leave anything in this thread.

Thanks for the pic Skaaz.

Is it sufficient to measure the voltage from the backside of the chip on a pinheader?
I'm guessing no, but i really dont have much of an idea.

The reason i ask is its pretty much physically impossible from what i see to measure the point 'LFRAME to modchip' on the zoomed pic (yellow) with an X3, as the chip 'covers over' this track (top-side of mobo).

Measuring from the underside would seem quite teadious, however if I want to try it out, do i just go for either of the points where the resistor is to be soldered?
