i would have to agree, if that's what you'd call a A+++ solder job, then god help us all.

Judging by your soldering I would say get someone to fit it for you.

You shouldn't have to 'clean up' a solder job. Just because it doesn't work on your 1.0, doesn't rule out bad soldering.

Hmmm, that lpc rebuild suggested 1.6 or 1.6b. Is your chip X3CE or the regular X3. If your chip is X3 and xbox 1.6b maybee you are getting no video becasue you dont have the proper flash bios. But the chip should work on 1.0. DO you have jumper 1 and 2 on and jumper 3 and 4 off?

If it turn orange like you mentioned, then you must have heat problems. This was happening to me when I was testing an xbox after an install and it turned out that I forgot to plug in the fan. After I plugen in the fan, all was good.

The fan is in. and it doesent do a heat frag thing.. blink orange... doesnent the flash bios cromwell make your front pannel LED orange? and the cover is off and the drives arent even in the Xbox and yes the fan is in there also... but when i press the ejet button it blinks green.
