Those points on the top side of the motherboard I tiny. I know that Team Xecutor is coming out with a full solderless solution for 1.6 boxes. I've got quite a bit for faith in them. I REALLY hate the Team Exodus PR guy. He screams "used car salesman"

Post by: shmokes on January 21, 2005, 04:24:27 pm: Yeah...1.6b is the newest and it initially moved modding an xbox from a 1 wire solder to like 4 or 5 or 6 wires or something. As usual, the modding community caught right up. :)

Right, it took me like 5 minutes just to get the power wire off the back of the HDD! LOL :P

Post by: crashwg on January 24, 2005, 05:04:22 pm: Well I got me a solderless adapter for my xenium ice so I could make sure my motherboard wasn't beyond repair before I soldered it on and it has one of those spring wires for the D0 point...

It has a little hole that it kinda pops into and seems pretty secure. I would assume that the ones on this new adapter do the same sort of thing. As long as you're not flipping your xbox on it's lid and smacking the bottom I doubt it'll come out.
