O.K., Ive come this far.
This is my first mod job. I know I must solder the 8 points. Do I need pins or can I solder straight to the board?
What kind of wires do I need to connect the remaining four wires?
After all is soldered, do I simply put back together and turn on?
Thanks for any help!

1.) yes you can solder direct to the board or use pins, what ever is easyer for you

2.) use a small wire, like 22 or 24 gauge

3.) yes


OR maybe you could read the guides here  <_<

This sounds too easy, just confusing as hell.

What is "flash" and "bios"?

I have an aladdin advance plus, it says its "pre-flashed".

Thanks again!

Thanks a lot.

Question: Will 24 guage copper speaker wire work?

[justtaint]

Just go to Radio Shack and get 30gauage Kynar wire.

If you are half decent with a soldering iron it is easy to do. If you ain't then have a practice first or what seems easy may go tits up.

[maniac1]

Too late, I am tits up!

Radio Shack does noy have that wire, smallest they carry is 24 guage speaker.

Where else can I buy Kynar wire?

[justtaint]

Did you ask them?  Its supposed to be stocked by every Radio Shack, though most of the ones around me don't know they have it.

[maniac1]

I've gone to two different locations. It is no where on the sheles, and they tell me they do not have it.

Where in the hell can I find a .10mm soldering tip? No, Radio Shack does not carry it.

Check here put your zipcode in and find the nearest store with inventory.

 Ha! I walked in and told the dude, "I know you have this, where is it?". Well, guess what happened next, I found it! 30 guage kynar core wrapping wire.
Only now if I could find the right tip for soldering..............

[justtaint]

You should have looked, they have tips that will do.

if you just plan on leaving the chip on all the time you can use a bigger tip and ground D0 to the bottom D0 point on the xbox motherboard. The point is huge and fairly spaced from anything else. Just be really careful and it will be ok

 I have heard this before, I can not find a diagram anywhere on it.
