Man, Have I mentioned how much I love you guys? Lol
Yeah, I've relized Martin C is the shit over there, I just don't wanna go PMin him or anything or steppin on his toes. One thing I have realized (since this is the first forum I ever became a member of) is to never step on admin toes. Don't condecend, and don't be the first to point fingers.
I've been a member of their site for about 3 days and have already racked up 30+ posts. Rank's almost 50% and haven't been smacked with n00b once, thank god, lol.
But I fooked the d0's on my damned mobo last night, so I need a way to repair that or my chip's useless...
But this thread's not about the Xecuter, it's about AID...
DJB, you'da f00kin man, man!!!
Get a circuit tracing pen and reconnect the damaged line. Now at the end, where the lines goes deeper into the layers of the PCB (the holes, not sure) but anyways, those make for great soldering areas. For a friend of mines to amke sure it didn't come undone I got a small PCB from radio shack with all the holes in it and some jumpers (like the paper clip style ones...thick) then, I soldered the do line to 1 jumper hole, jumped throuh to another and then had the other jumper hold the "hole" in the mobo. It still works and he dropped it a couple of times.
Just use some electrical tape to secure. if need be even some hot glue...the shit works wonders.
I got class now, but I hope you get the jist of it...if not I will check the post out later and help...adios. _________________ XBOX v1.6

o.o;; I'm a rookie solderer, so I'll just pretend I understood that. Lol. Thanks, though... I'll probably just google the hell out of your post, that's all

Hey everyone I'm new to the forums, not a newbie though. I recently installed the SID 4 exploit and modded my xbox. Its funny that three days ago I downloaded the monster AID v2.11 and now this comes out. Ive been downloading it since yesterday and I and mostly everyone else is at around 65% I can't wait to burn this disc, v2.11 was very helpful. I'm happy to see the creators make something this useful for free, thanks a lot guys you do some awesome work.
D00d, you're in for a treat with SID 3. If you ever get a chip, it's got the evox bios flasher built in, and this disc is completely customizable, as far as skin packs, roms, you've got it all, just a few downloads of addons, a few clicks with the ISO rebuilder, and you've got a fully customized AID (you can even add your own music to the background if you want too, just make an addon pack. Don't know how? ask here, I'll give you a step by step guide )
DJB has definitely outdone himself time and time again. He recieves no profit for doing this other than knowing he's helping out the HQ modding world. And that's all he needs. The guy's great.
And we can't overlook hobbs, pirrup, Nknave (congrats on the wedding, m and the other beta testers and script writers. Hobbs codes this site 24/7 and he's a goddamned monster when it comes to it. I can't tell you how many times I've IM'd him and he responds with "I'm coding the site" again?! jesus. The guy's unstoppable. So, Cheers to you, m8. You're amazing.
nightmare, if you're not already, try out a VIP membership if you feel you can help out the site. This isn't the xbox-scene. We do nothing for monitary profit.
Well, except Shark. I bought him last night cheap for 5 dollars... Gave him a 10 and he ran off after we were done screaming "I CAN EAT!!!"
Still kinda confused about that...
Take it easy, m8 and stay tuned for bigger, better things as we move on. _________________ "That which does not kill you, only makes you stronger."

No, it's not... it's going to take over the world with DJB at the helm... There's subliminal messages hidden behind the techno music in the AID background... I've already succumbed and had that music setup as the default song for every xbox I've modded... Soon the army will be ready... Oh yes.... And we will destroy sony... Yes... DIE....................................

Hey DJB, great work mate!
AID has been so helpful to me in the past, so I can't wait to use the latest version.
Once BT finishes, I'll be seeding it for ya
Thanks again,

If your chipped, it's really easy to upgrade but you can use this to upgrade a softmod too. Just takes a little more work. _________________ http://twitter.com/HQ_Shark2th

Easy as pie. If you don't have a drive yet, check out the harddrives link.
That way you'll be sure it's lockable. Then start a new thread since this isn't the right one to support a hdd upgrade on and we shall walk you through it OR check out one of our excellent tutorials.

ANGELOS...
Ok.
Circuit Tracing Pen - Like a whiteout pen but with conductive material.
Printed Circuit Boards - general stock, has a lot of holes with copper around them to solder too.
Jumpers - look like "hurdles" but as thick as paper clips. sometimes they have a rubber tube around them to prevent arching.
Fill in the busted d0 line (i am guessing on the bottom of the board.) and fill it in with the circuit pen.
Let it dry
Solder the first jumper so it connects to the second jumper (which the 2nd jumper will go completely through and is what you are going to tap the d0 with.
Then once you have the 2 jumpers, arbitrarily placed, solder the d0 line off the chip to the first jumper, that doesnt go completely through the board.
(Hopefully you are still following...you are "adhereing" the jumpers to the PCB with solder)
Then finally solder on the D0
if it look like this
O---------------------O
Put the jumper's tip on the "O" and then solder in.
Secture the PCB to the Mobo (motherboard) with electrical tape
hope that helps more. _________________ XBOX v1.6

the top d0 was just too "scratched up" from the solderless xenium my friend threw in... I just dabbed some solder on the tip of the wire so it was a "custom fit" and tapped the living shit out of it to hold it in place... Worked like a damned charm HAHAHAHA... Thanks, though, SA, I really appreciate it. But if anything else goes wrong, I'll jump back here and follow your guide. _________________ "That which does not kill you, only makes you stronger."

It might for now, but be careful, it might heat up and get whats called a "cold joint".
A CJ is when the solder blob cracks due to impurities/heat from the electrical current passing through it and then nothing.
Secure the shit out of it, and dno't let it move...could pop out...maybe drag along the board. Just keep an eye on it is all I am saying...just letting you know since this is your first solder.
Also, the best thing ever for soldering is a Tip tinner and cleaner
Radio shack# 64-020D to create the flow of solder easier.
Desoldering Braid #64-2090b copper mesh braid, used to absord excess/remove solder.
And if need be, flux, it comes in a pen or a tub, you can spread it with a tooth pick. It super heats the area (due to the "liquid" and melts the solder faster and pulls it all to that spot (as long as its neatly applied)
Sorry DJB for the off topic. Split it if you want.. _________________ XBOX v1.6

until I get it 92.6% done as I type this I'll be seeding for a long time. Once again thank you to Team AID You guys are amazing! _________________ Common sense isn't all that common.....
