Well, I finally got sick and tired of this thing moving and tired of opening it.

So, I went and ordered a X2:Lite and pulled the Matrix out, but, I notice on the d0 point, since you have to move the Matrix to align the pin on the point, it seems all scraped up, my Xbox still boots fine, so will this help in the long run? I read about people scraping it with a exacto knife, but did this just open the hole for me?

>>since you have to move the Matrix to align the pin on the point, it seems all scraped up, my Xbox still boots fine, so will this help in the long run?

You should be ok.
Are you using pogos again with x2?
If not, the D0 will be easier to solder all scratched; although I'd use the alt D0 point.

Nope, solder all the way, I did solder before with Playstation 1 and 2, and on Dreamcast (old school), but this d0 point still seems damn hard, but I hope it will be easier now

I think I would get more responses if I said I needed help in the topic, can't change it though
