go to www.HackDaBox.com click on Spider GX !

Soldering wont really help with the Spider GX , squeeze it in and if you get all 6 leds on ( one led on the SPider GX and 5 on the SpiderWire PCB ) with the chip turned off then the legs are inserted ok make sure the Spider GX is squeezed onto the lpc !

Use the X2 5035 V1.6 bios and put the edited x2config.ini on your E:\ drive you can grab it from here ...

Edited x2config.ini

My website does get busy but it is working fine for me ??? Anyway try the mirror site posted above !

Soldering is not really possible with the Spider GX ... i guess you could remove all the pogo pins and solder on a pinheader and then solder wires on the motherboard for a LPC rebuild but it would be easier to buy another cheap chip and solder that in !

Try returning the chip and order a different chip if you can solder like the duox2 !

For the fact that it frags means your d0 is working !

It's the connection to the lpc that is bad , try pushing down firmly on the chip in different spots and turn on the box ( keep away from the power supply - leave the hard drive in the xbox but remove the dvd-rom and flip it so it's facing the wrong way around )

If it boots even once then your problem is poor lpc connection !

OK there are 5 leds on the SpiderWire PCB. With the Spider GX off you should have all 5 leds on. When you turn the chip on only 4 leds will be on. There is also a LED on the Spider GX itself so you will have 5 leds on in total out of 6 !

Dude I have the same freegin problem, I have spent a week on this board trying to find a fix.  SpiderGx just sucks plain and simple.  I am gunna try and exchange for the reliable Xenium ICE.  I know cause I've installed them and they are a walk in the park compared to this piece of shit spiderGx.

If you cut the pogo pins , How is it making contact with the LPC port ?

now that you have the lpc fix and i know that my d0 was making a good connection and i should be able to get it to work now. I have another problem...leg broke off...put it aside to solder back on, on one of my days off...now its gone...can i just use wire? if not what is an alternative to the spider wire legs?

Hey i have a new SpiderGX i bought it because i flashed my regular spiderchip wrong, i put in my spider and when its off the regular dashboard runs, when its on it turns on, off, on, off, on (because it was flashed wrong) so i am assuming that the chip is working exccept for the fact that i flashed it wrong. When i put my spiderGX in i can get the 5 lights on the pcb and 1 light in the GX chip it will run the normal ms dash when off but when on dose the same thing as my normal spiderchip (on, off, on, off, on) as if it were flashed wrong. I have 2 questions 1) where does the washer go for the screw on top of the chip or under it? 2) also the the 16mb on the chip is ROM correct? if so why do the put it in a box with a magnetic seal won't that fuck up the rom and erase it.
