well...after sucessfully installing 2 1.6 xboxes, i figured installing on a 1.1 would be easy. until the desoldering part. well that didnt work out so i did a wire install. soldered all the wires, and the do/hd/lan thingy. It didnt work(no suprise there) but the most depressing thing is that part of the IDE cable got lodged into the DVD drive when disconnecting it from the xbox. this doesnt directly have to do with the chip, but can anyone help me? do i have to buy a new DVD drive? if so, will any model work or does it have to be the same brand? thx for help in advance
help...

yes. the connector broke off of the IDE cable and one part is lodged in the DVD drive, the other part that held the whole thing together simply broke off.

theres something in there...normally, wehn you plug the IDE controller in, it fills that area. the thing that fills that area and the 40 pins is lodged in the drive.
