i wasnt able to take off a pin header off a broken xbox mobo so what i just did the wire installation. i admit that it does take about 5 minutes longer to install cuz u have to match the wire colors with the one in the picture but other than that it should be quite easy. i did the wire install on a v1.6 by the way. everybody looks down on the wire install but once i did it, i thought that it was kinda easy. but thats me...would u try the wire install???

Radio Shack sell pin headers apparently. You have to cut them down to the correct size (Number of pins) but they are as cheap as chips (Fries if you are American!).

If you have access to an old pci video card or sound card some of them have a pin header on them that will work. You will have to cut them to size, as most of them will have too many rows of pins on them. But it will work.

Just a thought. :)

System update stopped

I just got a newer 360 off craigslist. the sellers listing stated no video. when I got home & hooked it up It went straight to a sceen with a white box saying <System update stopped> Re-insert media ect with a status code. I contacted the seller to see what game he was trying to play when this happened and it was ACB. So I rented the game thinking it would complete the update but when I put the game in after It gets to the error box, it goes to a updating screen and then locks up. If you try to boot with the game in it all I get is a black screen but sounds like it is trying to do something at the begining but never wakes up. I tried the sync button and the right trigger+Y fix and have let it run for an hour with ACB in it with no progress. Also I downloaded the latest system updates from MS & tried them with no change. I have contacted MS and started a support ticket but that could take years to get a worthy response. I am pretty sure the seal is intact & the box is stock and is still covered in the 3-year extended RROD waranty. I was hoping to make a $ off re-sale but I am starting to think I have a new test box for the re-work station and some sellable parts. Any help would be muchly appreciated.

Re: System update stopped

Thank you for responding but I did try putting the MS update on a usb drive and it did the same as the CD's. The only source it seems to try to update is from a OEM ASB disk all the rest usb/cd it dosen't try any more than if there is no source cd/usb because it will try every time you open/close the drive.

Re: System update stopped

Update, took hdd & put in another 360, cleared cashe, installed ASB on hdd, re-installed hdd in problem 360, no progress, tried to update with oem asb, same problem. If the seal was removed this guy is good. Is there any way the update or disc could vary so that I would need the exact disc + hdd combo to complete the update?
