Yes I did do the LPC rebuild. I used the rebuild diagram off the dms website. I double checked the connections and I cannot find any problems with the rebuild. No bridging or loose wires.
The problem with the loom being upside down has been resolved and was nothing more than switching which end went to the adapter and which end went to the chip. I think it is a pin to pin loom though, so that was not the problem.
Box is still fragging...I am considering going with the header pin install without the adapter which I have successfully completed before. There are drawbacks to it though (can't shut off the chip).
I will try with this method a little more before I start over. If you have any other info please let me know.
By the way this was the image I used to solder the adapter to the board with:
http://pg.photos.yah...11c.jpg&.src=ph I assume that it is correct, because when I switch the brown and green, the chip does not light up and everything still frags... I swear your install image shows brown in the pin one location (square silver pad) though.
