-------------------
I am sure someone will post a better guide with clearer pic's but i figured enough people have asked about it it might save some redundant questions.
Sorry for the picture quality, I am sure somebody will come up with a better guide in time.
Installing the solderless portion of the new TeamXodus SP solderless solution.
I take no responsibility for a fubar Xbox using this guide. The decision to mod is yours; this is just to help you get there. Never work on your Xbox with the power cord still attached. Never move the chip or adapter with the cord attached and/or the power on.
This is a quick guide and assumes you have read Caps Iceguide or some surely lesser guide, and are familiar with opening the Xbox case and identifying your motherboard version and d0 point. I have used a 1.4 for the examples.
Since the new solderless has not come out separately you will need the following from the SP bundle: the thick smaller washer, black screw, rivets (optional), and the solderless adapter.
Initially the default bend on the d0 hook from the factory looks like this.
I have bent enough of these to do it in my sleep and getting as close to this as you can before you start will help.
Remember the d0 hook is a little fragile so do not use a plier to just torque the wire. Gripping the wire gently near the adapter with a pair of needle nose and using your fingers to shape the wire.
There are two ways to place the adapter. Before you put the adapter in place put the smaller, thick washer into the slot on the screw end of the adapter. The first way to set the adapter is to place the d0 in the via and then carefully pull the adapter to the LPC, and with one finger press the adapter into place and screw down the adapter using the black screw with the other hand. The second is to place the adapter on the LPC, screw it down and gently pull the wire hook to the d0 via. Once it is in place it will look like this.
Once you have placed the chip on the pins with the X of Xenium facing the back of the case, reconnect the HD, DVD, video, controller, and power cord. Power up and if all is well you will see this, along with the Xenium OS menu on your TV.
Congratulations, youre done. Carefully attach the external LED, if you wish, unplug and put your case back together.
Here are some troubleshooting basics:
Red Xenium LED and boot the MSdash bad connection on the d0, check the tension and contact with the d0 via on the d0 hook, test the continuity of the d0 hook to pin 4.
Red Xenium LED and FRAG(flashing red and green) bad contact on the LPC, make sure the adapter is aligned well on the LPC, check to make sure none of the pogo pins are stuck in the compressed position. Use the optional rivets if necessary; make sure to lay them out exactly the way the pins layout on the adapter.

basically, you flip the xbox upside down so your looking at the feet. there is a torx20 screw under each of the 4 feet. there is another screw under the sticker with the serial on it (if you push with your thumb on the screwdriver, you will see an indent where the screw hole is, just go through the sticker with the screwdriver) and there will also be a 6th screw where the electrical shock sticker is. take all these screws out, and put your xbox right side up.
the top piece will now lift off.
you will be looking at your harddrive and dvd drive, disconnect the IDE cable from the hard drive, and you will see a torx10 screw in between the harddrive tray and dvd drive tray. take this out. your harddrive will now lift out.
there will be 2 torx 10 screws holding your dvd drive down. they are at the front of the system. just kind of get over it and look down and you can't miss them. after taking those 2 screws out, your dvd drive will lift out (just make sure you disconnect the yellow power cable and ide cable)
your now looking at your motherboard.

When I power up the box, the red light on the chip comes on, then the xbox beeps and turns itself off. It does this one more time, then powers itself on, with the xbox light flashing red and green. Above this is said tyo be caused by a bad connection to the lpc port, but I have checked this and redone it over and over 30+ times. Any suggestion? Any help would be greatly appreiciated. Thank you
When I chipped my Xbox I got the same error due to a flakey D0 connection, though I was on a 1.6b Xbox. You might check that D0 is well connected, all the same.

k i solved some of my own problems already i was told that the chip goes on the 12 pins closest to the front of the box (furthest from the screw) and i did that and i turned on my box and got absolutly no lights at all from the mod chip the light around the eject button however was flashing green and orange or w/e the colors are and i was wondering what i did wrong or if its the chip
I'm in the same boat, do I keep all the pins in the adapter? or do i need to remove some as to match that of those in the other installation guides... I have a v1.0 xbox with the Gold chip. thanks!

No, no... no need to remove any pins. Just put the chip on the correct location on the header. Some pins will remain unused. The chip goes on the pins furthest from the screw hole.
