Title: Ixtreme Lite-on, Conntectivity Kit V3 Lite
Post by: KP161 on December 09, 2008, 12:37:00 PM
I know you guys must be damned bored of the same old questions, but:

If all I buy is the Xecuter Xbox 360 Connectivity Kit v3 Lite and a VIA VT6421A PCI card, will I be able to successfully install the new iXtreme when it comes out on my Liteon drive WITHOUT any further soldering? I want to buy this all by christmas before the post cut off date.

Cheers  happy.gif

You will need to buy the solderless add-on, or build you own.

How easy is it to build my own? Don't you just need to bridge those two parts on the board that I saw in a tutorial? Can you use a screwdriver, or use a bit of old wire?

You can do it any way you want. But if you want a reliable method, holding a screwdriver over two blobs of solder is not it.

So what is a good way to do it without soldering, but not with a screw driver? I don't want to buy the extra add on I just don't have the cash...

Use a large pin which fits nicely into the via below R707.

Wire this to the TX point on the CK3

Can I not just bridge these two pins?

I don't see any TX points on the CK3...?

If you do solder it, is it permanent? Aren't you only supposed to leave the bridge there while extracting the key?

You don't have to bridge 708 if you dont' want to.

Regarding 707, you have to bridge that or use the point to get to the serial port on the drive. There are lots of tutorials for both... try READING THE FORUM.



Solder is not permanent, but it's not the easiest to remove if you don't know what you are doing.

Regarding leaving it on. The purpose of the solder is to reconnect the serial port to the cable on the back of the drive (the two non filled pins on the cable)

All you are doing with that joint is making an extension cable of sorts, if you don't have anything plugged into it, it isn't going to matter if you unsolder it or not

Thanks for your reply mate.

So for confirmation, the only thing I need to do on the DVD drive's PCB is bridge the 707?

Why don´t you just pay someone to do it for you? I mean it will probably cost less and you don´t have to bother about the chance of destroying something. Unless you had in mind to do several Lite-Ons

I agree with ^

You can't/wont spend 10 bucks extra, but want to save lots of cash on games with a modded drive?

soldering that R707 is a shitty job if you don't have the right tools (a VERY small solderiron which will cost you a couple of bucks too) and the skills

i just ordered the lite version BUT i clicked the more info button which took me to team xectuers site for guides etc..on there it says that the rs232 cable is an optional extra..please tell me the lite version is shipped with the rs232 cable as well. that is the only reason i purchased it lol..i bought from Mr Modchips which clearly shows an rs232 cable on the image of the CK3..

has anyone actualy purchased the lite version and can confirm wether it does come with an rs232 cable included?

Because if you scratched your original games, you don't have to buy a new one...
so you ARE saving money!

just splice a wire with a thin piece of metal on the other end into wire 11 on the dvd cable that comes with it

Can't you just buy a cheap rs232 to USB if the cable comes with it, because I don't think my computer has an rs232 female adapter.

There was no RS232 cable with my ck pro so guess that there wouldn't be with the lite

No driver discs either - all the stuff is on the site.

I'm an idiot for ordering the Lite. My current computer is 1 out of the 6 i owned without a COM1 for the RS232.

Post by: demheels on December 10, 2008, 05:41:00 PM
rozza, so where did you get the RS232 cable? I just ordered the ck2 pro and the ck3 probe. Do you even need the RS232 cable, or can you use USB/Sata?

You get one with the lite, got one sitting here in front of me.
Pro comes with a usb cable so the serial cable wouldnt be needed.

Post by: marioflatini on December 10, 2008, 06:07:00 PM
so soldering r707 will enable reading from com/usb port, and soldering r708 will enable writing from com/usb port ?
can solder stay, or does it need to be removed?

Reminds me of tsop flashing xbox 1 smile.gif

Just had it confirmed on another thread that is not essential to have a via card/chipset to flash the lite on.  So if you already have a sata port don't bother buying the card.

Okey,
I was wondering the same thing tbh. I'm thinking of considering a Xecuter Lite Kit and connect the two things by just using a paperclip. The tutorial was a bit blurry on this part, do I only have to connect these point(s) to eachother or is there a wire which is supposed to go somewhere on the CK3?
Because if it's only the one/two spot(s) that need to be connected, I hope a papir clip and a screwdriver or something like this would do the trick..

just use a flat head (non magnetic) screwdriver to bridge the two 707 points, while you click your mouse to get the button.  takes what 5 seconds?  no soldering, no britney spears, no nothing. And if you don't have a screw driver then just throw you xbox out the window, as you don't deserve to have one.

I actually used a small cable with a crocodile clip on one side and a needle on the other side ... I just clip the crocodile side to the pin on the xecuter dvd cable connector and hold the needle on the 707 pad when needed to read the key.

This is my simple-no-solder-no-cut-reuseable spear smile.gif

just to clarify the crocodile clip I used is like this :

and the pin of the ck3 connector to which pinch the crocodile is this one  :

http://www.flickr.co...N05/3115690312/

JUST BEWARE THAT THE CROCODILE JUST PINCH ONE PIN ONLY AND DO NOT TOUCH ANYTHING ELSE OR YOU CAN DAMAGE PC, CK3 AND DVD DRIVE TOO !
