An API call to the LPC can determine if an LPC mod is present, d0 grounded or not.

, I had to flash the Matrix at my Moms house. I got home, took apart the XBOX, moved the DVD Tray and HDD out of the way. I examined the XBOX d0 point before I installed it, rubbed off a little plastic with my thumb. I left the XBOX on when aligning the chip, so I could see when it flashed green. I installed the chip in under 5 minutes. I expected to have some issues like having alignment problems or broken screw... It was an absolutely easy and flawless install. I even shook the XBOX, hard, and it didn't come out of alignment. Matrix gets two thumbs up!

I got a matrix, I'm happy with it. Installing it wasn't hard at all (and it really shouldn't be).

But what people say is true: it is a temporary solution. For some people, including one of my friends, it doesn't stay aligned forever.

I've vowed that if mine ever comes lose, i'm just going to buy a solder chip, because the soldering doesn't look that difficult to do (besides D0.. but we'll deal with that when we get to it).

The idea of using solder-less pogo pins on any mod chip is a pretty neat idea. However, like many have said, it's only a temporary solution. The problem with the Xbox is that there is only one screw to hold the mod chip and pogo pins in position and that screw is off to the side of the LPC pads on the board.

The pogo pins would work much better if there was another screw location nearby the LPC pads to help keep the pins aligned and provide even preasure to the mod board.

Personaly, I'll stick to the X-ecuter2's solder solution.

I would go for the X2 lite since you have the choice of either solder or pogo-pin instead of just the pogo pin which is what the matrix has. The other reason being that you have the option to flash the bios BUT YOU DON'T HAVE TO FLASH THE BIOS WITH THE X2 LITE. I was going to get a matrix but after taking a look at the flash process to get it to work I said "No Thanks". Not only that but if you solder the X2 it will be quite a bit cheaper then the matrix. There are a number of posts here and elsewhere with people who have flashed incorrectly and that it has screwed up their xbox. Don't get me wrong alot of people have had success flashing the matrix but for me personally I don't think that it is quite the no-solder mod that it is made out to be.
