Any suggestions on a WIRE installation of an x3 on a v. 1.6. I've seen 2 diagrams on it. One showing the top of the mobo and one showing the bottom. They seemed to be completely different. The pinheader/ LPC rebuild is not an option. (Pinheader is broken). Can someone point me in the right direction here? Some of the points on the top of the board seem nearly impossible to solder.
Thanks,

it's the same really....
hypothetically speaking:
say you got a green wire that's supposed to go at pin 15, but pin 15 needs to be rebuilt... just solder that green wire directly to the rebuild point

I tried using these diagrams yet they conflict each other.


I do realize that one is of the bottom and one of the top of the motherboard yet the color codings conflict.

**EDIT : removed image **

The top diagram (or middle one in your group of 3 pictures) is for rebuilding the LPC when doing a pin header install. You solder in the pin header, then solder those 4 wires and your chip goes onto the pin header. The bottom picture is for doing the wire install. Since there is no pin header to be soldered, those wires go DIRECTLY to the "live" spots on the motherboard. I hope that clears things up. Which install are you doing and which version Xbox do you have ?

seems to me your confused about the actual pics, remember
WIRE INSTAL=NO LPC REBUILD and therefore ONLY HDD LAN & D0 go under th MOBO

PIN HEADER=YES LPC therefore you must use the wires underneath the MOBO
