Insulating 5V Feed

[TheJackal2003]

I really need to know or find some kind of guide on insulating the 5V Feed to avoid it burning out again.

Anyone know of any tuts on this?

I have the X3 and used the Xapt3r.

Tut for ya

Take electrical tape. Wrap around alt 5v pin. Install chip. Play xbox

Seriously though, that should be all you need to do. You just need to make it so that the pin doesnt sit against the board and short out. If ya need anyother help let me know

Just to check: Is the 5V feed next to the "backup" labelled component on the X3?

Check the images from the tutorial on this site.

Wait a sec there are 2.

Do I need to do it to both, I do not use the Alt. Power feed.

So do I insulate the 5V pin on the Xapt3r?

Jebus I'm a noob

If it sticks out, it can short, so just tape it up.

Are tou using the Xapt3r on a 1.6?? If not the only thing you should have to insulate is the bare pin sticking out on the bottom of the original version of the X3 chip. I stripped a piece of insulation from some speaker wire and slipped it over the pin, the new version of the X3 chip dosen't have this pin. If you have a version 1.6 the you should'nt be using the Xapt3r because to my knowledge it's not compatible with the v1.6.

P.S. freak sounds like you got a nice box but I feel sorry for you with that Thomson drive I had nothing but troubles with mine LOL

I am using a 1.4, the xapt3r for the 1.6 isn't out yet.

Is that next to the chip labelled backup?

If you have the V1.4 then the ONLY thing you should have to insulate is the pin that comes off the bottom of the chip, the X3ce chip comes clearly marked and there is no pin to insulate also if you think you might've already shorted the chip you might have more problems than what to insulate!
