Anyone know of a way I can completely bypass the tsop? I screwed up when i tried to flash it and soldered the 3rd from the end and 4th from the end. A cant get the solder up because its silver and doesnt seem to work with the braid mop.

My box flashes Green and orange powers on and off 3 times than stays on every time i press the power button, I fugure its because of my solder mistake. While trying to get the solder off i also got the last 2 pins in the mess. To better explain ive colored in the 4 pins that are soldered togethor.

try booting it with a mod chip in there, with d0 grounded it should bypass the TSOP and boot from the LPC bus fine. Ive seen an xbox on here with the TSOP chipped removed completely and it still boot from the LPC

That easy huh? I have a cheapmod and it wouldnt work so i unhooked it and borrowed my friends matrix chip. I think i fried the chip because when i installed it, it would never flash green allways red and i could never get it aligned. I tried flashing it in my pc and the light was still red but it said it flashed.

Im gonna borrow an x2 lite and try it asap.

a solder braid should take the silver off easily.. i've used it to soak up silver solder on several occasions..

Use some Flux Paste .. you can install a 29 wire homebrew type chip to just bypass it.. but removing the solder is so simple .. it wil take 1or 2 sec..
