I did a wire install the end of last week on a 1.0 Xbox. Due to how the optical drive sits (actually pushing the harness down) I wasn't getting a good connection and the box wouldn't boot.

So I bought a Vacuum Desoldering Tool (I tried desoldering braid with no luck, sorry) and sucked the solder out. Proved to be a little more difficult that I had anticipated because the solder seems pretty contect on staying in there. :/ Wish I had someone holding the board for me, but I had to prop the mobo up so I could apply heat from one side and suck from the other.

Anyway, to make a long story short, after cleaning the holes out and soldering in the pin header, that baby fired right up the first time. Good to know I'm not a complete doofus.

Hope this helps.

I just wanted to give a big thank you out to Catalyst. Got it done for my buddy on the first try. All the hardware seems to be working great. We could not load the bios due to him forgetting his controller lol.

Thanks for the support and the advise guys. Much appreciated.

If the LPC holes are sucked out is there any hope of repair?

 

[leedavid]

Depends on if the traces have been damaged or not. If the traces are damaged one of these other guys that are the gurus of the Mod Chip installation may be able to tell you how to fix it but its not going to be easy .

You can repair it, you just have to make sure you are getting contact with the trace.
