see title. I taped the D0 in place because i am weary of soldering it. i installed my chip and i get the 2 blue leds, but when i start up it goes to the normal Ms dash, and the front control board shows red. is this a bad solder point or becuase the d0 isnt soldered?
does D0 have to be soldered?

- Start date
i know, but still i tried playing it safe as i could at first. definattly think its the d0 thats cuaseing me problems?
acutally i wasnt even sure how to go about soldering it. im stupid, i mean should i put solder down then put the wire on top and heat it or the other way around. its delicate and im like a bull in a fine glass shop

hhhhaaaaa lol. that is a good one. dose the D0 have to be soldered. WOW. yeah u have to solder it in.
Be nice, guys, that was a bitch of a solder point. Took me about an hour for just that, then my dog cam in, bumped the table, and loosened the connection. But then I got it. But it was a bitch. A bitch, bitch, bitch, bitch, bitch to do (due to the lack of a real point to solder to).
The D0 controls whether the xbox boots from LCD(modchip) or to boot from TSOP. You have to solder the D0 or get a solderless adapter.

Yea, that is a much easier solder point than the via on the top of the board.

D0 is NOT as hard to solder as people make it out to be. Just tin the wire and use the contact on the bottom of the board. After it's connected, use electrical tape to hold the wire in place so it relieves any strain on the contact point. Even on the older boxes where D0 is in between all those other leads, it's not terribly difficult.veritas777 said:
