Nevermind found a link but I still would like to know which is better:
I it better to use a solderless adapter or just solder it in?

Xapt3r Installation?

You won't beat a soldered chip for reliability. Looking at the Xapt3r, it looks more stable than previous solderless adapters.
Remember that you won't get the LAN / HDD lights with the Xapt3r.

XAPT3R is better than the soldering it in because it lights up to tell you that it has been done correctly. then you just solder the hdd and lan wires anyway.

Well I suppose that's a solution (snip the bare end of the grey d0 wire of course) - of course, it totally defeats the object of having a solderless adapter....RoaZtedPuppy said:

i put the solderless adapter in but it didnt light up like u said it should, there has to be power going to the xbox for it to light up right?
This is a step from the installation tutorial. Do I have to do this even if i have the solderless adapter (i do have 1.6)
Now for the most difficult bit - the v1.6 LPC Rebuild. You should note that this is needed for v1.6 Xbox's ONLY. We have to do this because 4 of the LPC outputs (namely LAD0 / LAD1 / LAD2 / LAD3) are actually missing. These points are of course needed for any LPC modchip to work so we simply connect the "LAD's" to where the signal is actually live on the motherboard. All points are relatively easy if you have some amount of soldering experience - you may struggle if this is your first time so take care !
If you have the v1.6 Rebuild PCB from your supplier then goto this link on how to fit it - you do not need to install manual wires.

how would something light up if there wasnt power.....?
i mean, maybe its just me, but that seems a lil off

I don't believe this.....BusterNuts said:
Did you read the information about the Xapt3r?
It says "Compatible with Xbox versions 1.0-1.5"
Why are you trying to fit it into a 1.6????
Martin
i thought it was compatible with 1.6 its not the black one its a claer one and it fits and the light came one. but it still dont work
ummmm......ya the whole 'it doesnt work' issue should be a sign that youre using something that wasnt designed to work on a v1.6 Xbox
the product description is
"solderless installation on v1.0-1.5 Xboxs....not compatible with v1.6 Xboxs."

Exactly - this just highlights people's lack of knowledge regarding the LPC rebuild!XCronus said:

assuming you dont f**k something up during the install, but with your seemingly infinite capabilites when it comes to research, this shouldnt be a problem
OMG LOL!!!!! THIS IS HILARIOIUS!!!!!!! HWO THE f**k DID YOU EXPECT THE XAPT3R TO JUST MAGICALLY PERFORM THE LPC REBULD!!!! LOL :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: RETARD
once again.......if team xecuter would just implement my osomosis theory......life would be good
lol w/e this is my first time actually installing one i normally had other people do it, and i dont fully understand what the lpc is so i didnt know if it was that easy that the adapter would fix it or something but obviously it doesnt. ill reply when im done and tell yo u all that have been so nice in helping me lol if it worked
I think the reason people are frustrated is because you obviously didn't read a single tutorial or post before modding your box. The people on this forum spend a lot of time answering issues only for someone like you not to even bother doing the most basic of research. It only takes a hour or two to read through some of the most basic information here and you would never have had to post your question to start with.
Samsung ms28 help
I have a ms28 spoofed as a lite-on and I wanted to flash it to LT but before that I flashed back to stock firmware and now I can't get it back in vendor mode I tried everything. Now with stock on the ms28 can I play any ap2.5 games? Will it work and if it does can I go on live with it? This is my first time modding so any help would be appreciated.
