Soo....how does it stay on the board? are those little magnets I see in the solder?

[ginaman]

Hmm... That big circular thing in front may be a screw hole for attaching it.  And I guess the switches present on it are for turning the chip on and off.  At least I'm hoping I'm right.

yeah they got it well thought, what i like is the onboard flashing, lets see bout that.

[GTac01]

so, where is easybuy located, USA?, who knows the state, and how much is it? $50 the whole kit?

[Col.Havoc]

I still need more info.

Also, did you notice the little part. I don't know the proper name for it, but someone did it to the executer to make it easier to install/uninstall by putting long pins in and it fits over top, thats what this looks like.

[Dark Schneider]

LOL I knew it!
Sons of bitches took the X-ecuter design and added pins to it. It does screw down how I thought with the screw hole where the X-ecuter Horseshoe is. Well I hope it sits perfect 24/7 through bumps and grinds cause I'd sure hate to see some of you guys plugging the bitch in and finding that it shifted a bit and is now bridging the 5v and the Nvidia chip line..lol...Pzzzzzztttt!

Hey it looks nice though, so I will give them that. Also looks VERY familiar though....very familiar.

But I AM NOT bashing the chip, just those fuckers at easybuy that pulled some really stupid shit on those of you that ordered Pcbioxx.

The chip does look good, and if it works properly 100% of the time, then it is pretty damn sweet. So don't jump on my shit for having a laugh at it though, because it is the X-ecuter..or what the X-ecuter should have been.

                                    Yeh Troll123 came up with the pin design way.

                                    That's the only thing I'm worried about.

Ok...

Now I see why they kept it secret for so long

Its *very* clever.

If you "flip it around" in your mind, you will see that it is in fact an X-ecutor-type LPC mod. The little "magnets" look in fact to be for want of a better word, pin/nail heads, or say metal cylinders that sit on the solder pads. I'd bet they were pointy, as since solder is soft, once its screw on it could "dig in" to the solder pads on the logic board for better contact.

Good call Dark, good call.

The larger chip is obviously a flash; I'm guessing the socket on the top there is for connecting a Parallel port to it, as opposed to putting pins on the Xbox logic board, then plugging in.

Logically then the switches (as there are two) should be a disable, and a flash on/off.

Yeah, I would have kept this puppy under wraps too, as it will be cloned by the end of the week

I'm gonna get my hands on one of these things to see how well it works; I have a couple of buddies with xboxen that need to come on over and Join In

                                    can't you just place a electronic tape over the other solder points just in case?

[frank88b]

So this sucker is just going to plop down on top of the board?  On pins 1-8?  And where exactly is the programmer going to be dumped?

Funny how Easybuy still hasn't updated their site.

                                    I thought about that.  Though if the chip is screwed on incredibly tight and still moves, it'll probably rip right under the tape and still make a connection to points its not supposed to.  I will probably try electrical tape and hope for the best though.  Unless I'm recommended against using it.

cool
