:shock: Bad Problem

I was modding my xbox and didn't think i need instuctions because i had previously read the instruction at a friends place. So i went ahead and started soldering the chip on. Everything went good for the chip but when it came to the wires, it got complicated. So i had a try at it. I thought everything went good, till i put the case back on and powered it up. The light at the front came on for about 2 seconds then when off. Then i could smell something burning. So i turned off the xbox and opened back up the case and i find the chip had black stuff around all the connection (I Think it melted or something). So i thought i might as well try to turn the xbox back on.

So i did, Then i pressed the eject button and it ejected but then smoke was coming out. Then the power went off.

Any Sugggestions on how to fix it.

I would open your box up again and take a look at the innards. If it's just the chip that's fried, you may be able to salvage the xbox. I would uninstall the chip and try to turn it on. Good luck.

btw... this is a BAD problem.
