Re: Xbox chips

["Matthew Norman" <mafiu@xxxxxxx>]

When I did mine, the holes were all blocked with solder.  Thankfully I have
a solder sucker to hand and a needle nosed soldering iron, which I
recommend
(If you have an antex iron, maplin sell different bits on there own without
the iron, which is what I bought)

The hardest thing was holding the board vertical whilst putting the iron on
one side and triggering the solder sucker on the other.

Didnt work the first time - the grey wire came un-attached.

Didnt work the second time - I forgot to plug the dvd back in

Third time worked fine.
