Does anyone have a spare diode or know what one I need for the xbit?

Would really appreciate

Plus there was a tut posted on here so you didnt have to solder the diode to the xbox motherboard. Anyone still have it?

thx
Mike

I have the original tut if you want, give me you emauil and i will send it to you.

The diode is number V4148.

OK i tryed looking up that diode but I cant find anything on it/to buy it.

any more help?

ummm... it's a 1N4148... i'm pretty sure
you can buy one @ http://www.fairchildsemi.com/pf/1N/1N4148.html for 2 cents....
but @ that price you shouldn't buy it from the net

thx a lot that is exactly what i needed to find out

I need on of the diodes too, I seem to have misplaced mine

Anyone know where in the UK I can get one?

I have a spare if you want, pm me your adress and il send it for you.

Thanks Silentscream

PM sent.

picked up a few diodes today and installed it!

works great! thanks for the help!

will this work from Radioshack?

I think so, if its the same number then yes, although i am not sure of which number it is. I was pretty sure it was V1418, but PDG1 says it is 1N4148. If you can find a V1418 diode i would suggest you buy one aswell.
Then again i might have just read the number wrong, its printed on the diode really small so its possible..

Anyone find out for sure on the Radioshack part #, or does anyone have a spare diode they can send me? I misplaced mine as well, as I didn't feel comfortable installing at the time.

what do you need a diode for?

To disable the chip using the power button.

It has V4148 on it. Thanks to Silentscream__ for sending it to me
