*topic* i have a v1.0 xbox i'm not sure which adapter i'm going to use prolly wires.

Well ... you can use a 45W iron - but if you have a cooks blowtorch that might be better. me... I use an arc-welder.



Try a 15W....

Use a temperature controlled iron and the wattage won't matter. I have a 35w and a 45w .. but I set them at 330 degrees celsius ..

Yea, you can use it


oh golly i cant wait to see the next post from kreepa13:


{===========================
Um... i lifted a lpc point trying to solder in my x2... someone help... someone... anyone

stupid fucking x2!

GOD BLESS TEAM X-ECUTER FOR CREATING X-ECUTER 2 AKA XODUS KILLER LOL

Do yourself a favor:
Go buy a new iron.

And find a good light so you can see. (a halogen desk lamp helps a lot)

Remember solder is like braile cream: a little dab will do ya.
anyone remember braile cream?

I've got a 40watt temp controlled one I'm gonna probably use for it

fixed a v64jr for my n64 with it ages ago without burning anything and I was soldering a chip in place

bought it for £50 and they were selling for £150-200

10 to 15 watts should be used. Anything higher and your asking for it.

How good are your soldering skilz?
i've been using a 60watt soldering iron to do psx and xbox without any probs but i must say this is @ your own risk. a 15watt should be much better!

As someone once said:

What are you people using to solder!? The fucking DeathStar cannon!?

And yes, anything over 30w is most definitly asking for it. If you have to ask yourself this question "should i use 45w?" you might wanna think twice about doing it yourself. Nothing personal.

Buu

I definately wouldn't go with it with an iron reated that high unless it was temperature controlled. I'd use a good temperature controlled iron, I use a butane powered iron myself.

just buy a 15 watt from radioshack for $7
give up a few bucks, at least you'll be safer

What's braile cream? Is that for blind people so their hands don't dry out and they can feel the bumps?

well, if nothing else you can use it to burn through the motherboard so that you can pass the d0 wire through from the alternate point....
