"Ur a noob"

"Get out!"



Seriously, you should either have a jumper or switch setting for your chip to disable it, or as you've already suggested, disconnecting the d0 should disable it. I would check it by trying to boot a backup with the d0 wire disabled tho. (It shouldn't work!)

If the switch doesn't work (i.e it always boots enabled), then it could be either a fault on the switch itself of the d0 connection may be damaged or bridged.

Don't forget to take up a free offer when signing up for the free ipods thing. I selected the ScreenSelect option - they give you 4 free rentals with no obligation to stay after the trial period

ok, ive been looking at the tuts, i dont feel confident to de solder, even after ur videos, so if i cut the d0 wire, can i play xbox live?

If you're booting from the retail BIOS then yes, you can use Xbox Live. Cut the d0 wire and try to boot from a backup. Hopefully it won't work. If this is the case, you should be safe to use Xbox Live.
