Well you should already have an iron and some solder, you will also need some 30 awg "wrapping wire" as they call it, do not use any lower gauge wire as it will be too big to fit in the vias you need to solder to. Also make sure you have desoldering braid in case of mistakes.

To the nearest screw hole (The ring around the hole).

Should be fine, you prolly just melted some of the boards 'laquer' (Or w/e its called); not a problem.

Yes, there is a thin coat of plastic on the board that melts easily when you solder to it, so don't worry about it. Sometimes it burns a little and turns brown but that shouldn't matter either, as long as it boots your golden.

/me crosses his fingers

Make sure you put the chip on the header the right way

Check your d0. Check that you soldered the correct LPC points and that no wires are crossed/no solder splashes. If that seems fine, pull the chip from the pins. if the xbox boots fine, then put the chip back and flip the recovery switch. If it boots fine, your good to go. If not, go to Teamxodus.com and get the ISO XOS beta2 image and burn it. With the chip in recovery mode, turn on the xbox and press the eject button. put the CD in and wait for the xbox to turn off. Nothing will be on the screen (1.6 xbox...), but after flipping the swicth back and rebootng you should now be good to go

I soldered in a xenium ice to a 1.6 today and I get no difference from when the chip is in the box or when its not. It boots exactly the same either way. I followed a guide that said just run a wire from the "d0" to the solder spot on the chip. It seems like I should have to ground to it some where but it said that this was only needed on the blue xenium's. Like I said it boots the same with the chip on the pin header or off and when its on the pin header the red led is kind of bright for a second then turns dim as its going through the normal boot sequence, but still boots as if stock.

Should I use the d0 harness and ground out to the screw hole?

Thanx

P.S. Sorry for my ignorance this is not the first chip I have soldered nor the first 1.6 I have done but it is the first xenium I have soldered in. Strange so far. Thanx again for any help.

LFRAME goes to d0 on the ICE chip, if you use the harness solder in ground too, doesn't hurt...

You sure you got the right LFRAME spot on the xbox?

Does your chip lightup at all? If not, ensure the chip is on the headers the right way, and that all your LPC rebuild points are correct, and well soldered... It's easy to mix points up on a 1.6 install...

yea I hadnt used the harness just had the lframe connected to the ice d0 spot with some 30 awg. I checked the point several times and its soldered in very solid. I guess I am gonna have to try the d0 harness.
