Crystal Switch ...

Happy New year guys n gals ...

I've just received a crystal switch panel as a chrimbo present, which all works fine but I wondered what the small purple window is for on it? Looks like there is something sodered behind it, such as an LED or maybe an infra red sensor, but it doesnt seem to do anything.

Anyone know ??

Cheers

It's the place for an IR mod. I believe that the idea is to run a cable from it to your power/eject PCB (like one from the X3) so you can turn the Xbox on and off with the remote control.

there aren't any tut's out for it yet is there? Like on how to wire it and would you solder it directly to the points on the board or would you solder it to the board of the xir mod thing.

Not at the moment.

You see there are two 2-pin sockets on the power/eject PCB? They're the same thing. I believe (and I don't know for sure) that the other one would be used for the IR Mod.
