i feel uneasy about moving the chip during the installation when the xbox is on, u know when u need to adjust it to get the green light

im frightened of touching the circuitry with my fingers or short circuiting the whole thing...

any tips? why not just put it in, turn it on, if it doesnt work, turn the xbox off and reposition, then try again...
also when you finaly get a green light, u have to switch the chip to MODE 3, does this have to be done when the xbox is ON?!?

whats the best way to groud yourself? how do u guys do it?

You are meant to change the matrix modes will the XBox is switched on?? Didnt know that, sounds dodgy, electrocution etc etc....

well ive only ever heard of it being done when the xbox is on from a few sources (including the matrix install manual). im asking if u can do it when its off?

You should be able to switch the settings with it off. Then the next time you turn you XBox on, the chip will start with your new settings.

I put mine in place and then turned on the Xbox, light was red so I moved it gently around until light went green. Then while keeping the xbox on I tightened the screw and watched to make sure it did not go red.

When I had the screw tight and the light was still green I turned off the Xbox and then adjusted the switches to the mode I wanted.

Fired up the Xbox and it work without any issues. Total time was 3-5 minutes...

Just be carefull to not drop your screw driver or touch any other part of the Xbox with the screw driver and you should be OK..

As far as electrocution goes, Just don't get near the power supply (the small circuitboard on the right with the white goo on it). It's the only thing with any significant voltage. Everything else is 3-5 volts and no amperage.

So, touching your finger on the xbox motherboard while its on wont make the whole machine blow up in a ball of fire?
