xbox v1.1
matrix chip
LPC holes are not filled
i am having mucho problemos. first off, i stripped the plastic and had to switch to a bigger screw. i can get the chip to allign (sometimes) and i can see the blue logo come up (from my Evox D6 Blue bios), but can only do this with my fingers literally holding the chip in place. as soon as i put the screw in (or move a friggin' millimeter) then it misalligns.
i want to solder the matrix chip and be done with it. i am completely new to soldering. have found a few guides on soldering xecuter chips, but nothing specific about soldering matrix. please someone help.
p.s. all this started when i wasn't able to play some newer games from the hard drive (120g), like wolfenstein, burnout2, matrix. i thought to update the bios (media check problem?). was running evox3.6. is Evox D6 the way to go or should i/can i put the latest x2 bios on the matrix chip?
