sorry, but I was wondering what the points in these pictures are for. I am looking for some alternate points for some TSOP flash fixing.

this pic show all the alternate points followes by colors... for example. the two points that you usually use on top of mobo 1.0-1.1, one is mark in red and the other one in blue... just sellect one point in the red line and other one in the blue one and make a bridge.

the same apply for yellow and skyblue

i really dont know what happen if you have the time to connect every point to every point, but this is just in case that you need another point in the mobo cause the one that you use are damage... just be carefully... chose just one point for color and 1 wire to conect red and blue and 1 for yellow and skyblue

Just used your tut and another on repairing tracks with heated windscreen repair paint. Thankyou so much and hope this gets pins cos it's worth it's weight in gold to me. Well, worth a working xbox anyway. : ))

This is really great, I have been looking for something like this.  I just have a few questions.  I assume to whole purpose of jumping the write points is to make two connections between the MCPX and TSOP right?  The Dark Blue goes to the TSOP and Red to MCPX right?  For the other set, the Yellow goes to the MCPX and the Light Blue goes to the TSOP?  I have a really bad motherboard with a few lifted traces.  What are the closest points to the TSOP and MCPX I can use?  What pin does the Red connect on the TSOP?  Is there a via on the bottom side of the board right at the MCPX that connects to the Dark Blue or Yellow?  I really need to go from the actual pin on the TSOP to as close as I can get to the MCPX.  Thanks.

When you wire up a jumper wire, does it have to remain connected permanently, or is it just used for flashing?

the wires are only to flash the tsop... once you flash the chip you can remove the wires

on the 1.0/1.1 xbox, isnt it true that the sky blue line can be connected to the other 2 pins toward the edge of the TSOP? I think i saw that they werent connected in a "Flash TSOP With matrix modchip tutorial. If im right, i think it would be easier to solder for those of us without expensive soldering irons. Can anyone verify this?

Sorry for the ignorance, but what is the VCC point for the sharp tsop? I did a successful flash of a 1.4, this made it a freak'n piece of cake.  Little puzzled on the 1.1 with sharp, there are just a few too many differing opinions as to which points actually need bridging.  If I could just get that first clarification, on where the vcc is and what I'm supposed to do with it, I could knock this one out no problem.

it doesn't matter what side of the board, just as long as you bridge red to blue and sky blue to yellow. just make sure to only bridge them once.

btw this is the best thread ever and most def deserves a pin

I know I'm reviving an old post, but damn... I thought I'll come back and thank davicoro for helping me find this alternative points.

I fixed, retraced and soldered my friends Matix modchip on his old 1.0 MoBo... but the d0 was so damn small I was having a hard time trying to solder it, even with the flux.

It worked like a charm on the alternate points.

My kudos to you davicoro!

Since i'm a retarded when it comes to electronics and soldering: can I just bridge the two point pairs (V1.2/1.3) with a wire and sticking some electrical tape along so that it stays, or do I REALLY have to solder?

you mean http://www.hmcelectronics.com/cgi-bin/scri...oduct/1530-0102, right? isn't there sort of a danger for other points NOT to solder?

also, i have to ask:

1- can the liquid coming out of that pen be easily removed?
2- will that liquid affect the underlying pathways?
3- can I link the points to do a first TSOP flash or does it HAVE to be a recovery?


just so I know. I don't want to brick my "best" console ( i have two, and i want to mod the one that works better ^^; )

they are 2 different methods, you just have to join any one red point to any one blue point, and any one yellow point to any one light blue point

depending on which points and how many are wrecked you may or may not need top+bottom

I have done a couple of modchip installs, but i wanted to try a TSOP to see what it was all about.  I am decent with a solder pencil, but i just couldn't get the second pair of points (closest to the LPC on my 1.4) connected.  Thanks to the alternate points given, it was a snap.  Successful flash.  Thanks to the OP!!!

if you are just trying to solder the gap without using a wire to connect them, I never had much luck with that.  I just got a small piece of wire, (i used a single strand of cable from a bad HDD cable I had laying around, and made that a couple inches long and just soldered that wire to the two points. it made it alot easier for me.
