XAPT3R Screw Problems

[FUnni64]

I have purchased the x3 and solderless adapter, but what am i supposed to do with the screws? no matter how i place them theyre way too loose or cant reach eachother. please help....(i put the screws like they are in the pics, but i still can pull the xapt3r out when screws all tight) i need help desperately. awaiting to mess wit my xbox...

Look at the pictures again. Try and assemble the Xapt3r outside of the Xbox, so you get the feel of how it all fits together.

You're putting the screw into the hole first, yes???

You then fit the Xapt3r onto it.

yes im putting the screw in hole first but its not tight at all i didnt have to screw it in, i just dropped it in. and from by looking at the pics from the release, i can notice a definate size difference in the screws. but than again why is that black thing in the way? i have a 1.1 xbox and is that supposed to happen?

What black thing?

You mean the chip on the Xbox? That's the TSOP!

Can you take a picture of the screw - if you have a macro-zoom function on your camera, use it for close-up shots..

Martin

 

[FUnni64]

yes...TSOP...i knew that

thanks martin

And you're putting the long portion of the screw into the hole? If so and it's still loose, then it sounds like the hole is stripped.

yes, long side down. and how could the hole be stripped? i havent touched the xbox (this is my first mod) and all the holes are the same size and fit the same way: LOOSE!

Compare the Xapt3r screw with the screw that was already there. Do they look the same thickness?

Martin

 

[FUnni64]

there is a definate size difference

Any chance of a half-decent photo of the two side by side?

Use Macro-zoom on the camera if you have it.

FUnni64,

Martin asked for a side by side shot of the original screw and the Xapt3r screw.

yup - I sure did

Nice quality pics though - just post one of good quality with them side by side. I'm just looking at the possibility of a different thread needed on the Xapt3r screw.
