I just got a X3 and Xapt3r and was about to install it when I realized I had a 1.0 and needed to desolder the holes. No problem, I thought, and i got some desoldering braid and a 15 watt iron. This was pretty much my first time ever holding a soldering iron, but it went pretty well. Pieces of the braid got stuck and I had to rip it off once or twice since I held it too long, and little pieces of it got stuck to the board, but only a few strands. I figured it was okay, and I didn't really scratch stuff up or anything. I put in the Xapt3r, lights worked fine, put in the mod chip, that worked fine too, put in the switch, everythign lit up. I put it all back together and got sort of a FRAG - it shut off x2, then blinked orange, no green. I figured I misaligned something, so I realigned stuff... nothing. Finally I decided just to take the Xapt3r and X3 out of the Xbox and reconnect everything the way it was before - same problem. My question then, is did I somehow destroy something in my desoldering process? I didn't flail around and solder all over the board; in fact the iron never left that little LPC area. Any ideas?
Did I just ruin my XBox, or what?

The A/V cable is indeed connected. And even if it wasn't, it wouldn't cause my Xbox to turn on x2 and flash orange....

ahh missed the x2 part, but yes flashing orange is No A/V cable but it wont reboot twice, just flash.
Like I said, it got to the point where even if I took everything out and reverted back to the way it was, it would give me the same problem.
But I actually fixed it myself - it turned out that when I was desoldering, a bit of the braid got caught in the LPC and I guess it bridged something oddly. I scraped off the residue, and now it works perfectly. Thanks very much for helping, though!
