Thanks for the helpful response, twisted (?)
The issue for many of us who purchased an X-Chip with solderless adaptor is that the X-Chip and the adaptor don't make good contact, and as a result, the bios from the chip only boots between, say, 10-30% of the time. The rest of the time the Xbox either (1) boots the retail bios, or worse, (2) frags. It has nothing to do with the contacts on the Xbox motherboard itself, and in my case, all the boxes I've attempted to mod already had solder on the contact points, except the D0 of course. So rivets have nothing to do with the problem. From what I've read from Rockman, these are the same type of problems that he is having. I'm a somewhat experienced modder, and have put together probably 20+ boxes for myself and friends. I've always gone the solderless route (Matrix, x2 Lite+, Chameleon), and have never had problems like this before working with the X-Chip. So I'm asking, as is Rockman, if there is any way to make sure the adaptor stays in solid contact with the chip, rather than falling out of contact and failing to boot the bios on the chip. That, after all, is the whole point of using a modchip, isn't it?
