Well today has been a long day. A client brought by an xbox today. Well my city just got the 1.6 before x-mas and thats what his is, a 1.6b. WEll i thought i would try the rebuild pcb (done about 6 with the wires no probs) Well the rebuild pcb wasnt working for me, prolly cuz im so tired. SO i took it off (roughly, but xbox still botted to msdash at this point) Then i went at the wires. Well it was goin great until i got to the last on, the one at the bottom. I soldered the wire on, and then it just fell off, AND TOOK THE PAD WITH IT! Ive never repaired a broken pad, and the client is picking up his xbox tmrw! Now all i get is FRAG (without the do attached so the xbox should boot to MS Dash!! I need Big Help and some Caffine.

Off to get a Pepsi

Re: I screwed Up Please help! MARTIN! I fell asleep at the i

just ordered a 1.6 mobo from llamma great guy. paid $35 for overnight shipping, and it will be here wednesday before noon! Total $127 the guy is paying me $90. I can fix the mobo and sell it on ebay for $75. SO its not so bad. And i think ill come out on top.

I figured ou the problem, or what i think it to be. Tell me if u agree. I had the mobo in my house (75) degrees + I solder outside (its normally summer, just hit this problem. I do this becasue of the smoke, smell, ect.) + went outside with mobo (15) degrees, + started soldering, + (300) degrees, fell asleep soldering (LMAO). = one lifted pad, and a few other probably bad connections. Needless to say. I will from now on solder INSIDE durring intense temperatures.
