Spider Gx Motherboard Damage !

============================
Spider GX Motherboard Damage Prevention !
============================

 A number of people have have damaged the via's ( very small holes in the motherboard ) where the Spiderchip / Spider GX's legs go in. Clearing the laquer from these holes is needed on some xbox's but you must take extreme care as damaging these holes will damage your motherboard and even without the Spiderchip / Spider GX your xbox will not work !

  The xbox motherboard is a multi layer board and by opening up those tiny holes you can cause a short in side ! You can't see the damage but you will notice the FRAG and you will be unable to fix this !

 Some lucky people may be able to fix a damaged D0 via by soldering a wire from the top d0 point to the bottom side d0 point.  This has helped fix many motherboards that would not work untill this fix was applied !
