It wasn't hard to find
Here you are



or alternative

my oppinion about 1.6's is
dont use the quick solder boards.
dont use solderless adapters.. (true for all boxes)

just solder in a pin header and do a wire lpc rebuild.

x3's and x2's use the same rebuild and pin header. but other cheap mods like the aladin, and even chips like a duox2 use a diferent lpc rebuild.

but either way, at the end of the day if your selling them the only way i have found to be sure that the chip still works after shipping is to do a wire rebuild and a solderd lpc header.

quik solder boards suck. sometimes they dont connect to the pad properly or you lose conectivity at the lpc and you cant really test continuity from the pad to the pin once its on. It may boot fine in testing, but after 100 miles of being thrown around a back of a van the things may not work when it gets to the destination.

and solderless adapters almost always find away to pop lose of either the lpc or the d0 point.

so yep wire build. and a solderd lpc header. IMO its the only way to guarantee the chip will fire up when the buyer gets it.

-just good to have for quick lock Hd then softmod , when your low on mod-chisp

All lights have to light up blue right on the adator?
well I placed them all in the correct holes just like pictured.
and I get orange and yellow lights on the adaptor. just 1 blue led.
and this thing aint working. its only fragging on me turns on and off.
-Do they have a Complete Guide for this chip install on a 1.6 Mobo.

[shambles1980]

sounds like it isnt connected to the 5v..
it should connect to the leg of a transistor up near the av connection/

[shambles1980]

just looking at the install pics up there..

im not sure because i dont use these solder free things but..
isnt point C wrong?

im assuming that its the d0/lfram and wouldnt that be th hole to the right of the 8 in the picture. not the one above it?

here i edited one of the pics and put a black arrow to where i think it should go.

[Mr.Slim]

Ill try that point Shambles1980 and see what happens.
Thanks for guide MrMajst3r

Ill look over the guide make sure its all the same.
and if DANG it dont work again,,imma just remove all this and try it on another 1.6 mobo. As I Have over 5 working ones just laying around.
cuz it could be something on the mobo maybe.

well ill try in a few , an maybe post Success tomorrow.
hopefully

send it to someone with soldering skills - this is just a 10min soldering job which will last forever. you will be able to get your solderless x3 working if you will be lucky but it won't stay working for 1 month - i can guarantee you that

[Mr.Slim]

it just dont work. whatever.
thanks for the posts anyway, might help someone else out.
