I have a v1.0 xbox and installed my new X3. Trying to solder that damn d0 point, i lifted and broke off the traces up to and solderpoint on the d0. well, i still managed to solder the d0 wire, but didn't fix the traces....

the xbox and modchip works...i can boot up and play games etc fine, but I cannot turn the modchip off and the dvd light continously blinks..

I am not concerned about turning off the modchip, i will probably always keep it on anyways, so is there anyreason for me to repair the trace, or if I am happy with the mod, can I just keep it like this?

well, the D0 wire sends a ground to the xbox to tell it to boot from the LPC(pin header). So that trace must have a connection still if your modchip is booting. Maybe you dropped solder on your board somewhere, a stupid mistake like that could complicate things, look over your mobo to double check nothing else was touched. If your happy with it and it works i dont see any reason to try and fix it. If i'm wrong someone correct me.
