I'm not entirely ruling it out, but I'd rather find another solution.

I'm not using the rivets.  I got a 1.0, and my port holes are soldered in.

well, I kinda got it working... when I press down on the chip just right.

Any suggestions?  Someone on an irc forum suggested a pinheader install, but that seems more drastic than soldering.

Besides, I paid for a solderless adapter, the damn thing should work.

Is there a safe way to keep the chip pressed down?  Any other ideas?

I'm prolly gonna try ordering that adapter from xmods tomorrow.  But I'd like this to work now, with the equipment I bought already.

The springs seem to be ultra hard in you case. If not even the paper trick helps to keep the pins down I would succest to send the adapter for warranty replacement.

well use thick paper to do the paper trick or fold a thin paper several time to make it thick.

To clean the d0 wire use alcohol. If it is dirty it will not give good electrical contact.

A solid red led on xenium and boot to MS Original Dash means a problem with d0 point.
Check the first post on this lead concerning the D0 problem section. I made the tips layout a bit more clear.

I bought a different adapter from xmods.ca.

Thus far, it seems to be doing the trick.

Thanks to Marksu for letting me know that there was something wrong with the adapter - and it wasn't just me.

Also thanks to xmods for having a solution.
