Switched the pic in a link instead. Large image that would kill dial users and throwing the page off.

Since I stole someone else's install pics, I thought it only fitting that I post my first install pic... Not the cleanest install in the world, but it works great. VERY happy with this chip. And hopefully the kids will enjoy their Christmas present. ;)

When she brought it home, the gf says "You better fire that up and make sure it works." I had LOTS of fun testing it.
Then I decided to mod it so the kids could play backups (they borked up a few of my gf discs)... and I had LOTS more fun testing it with backups after the fact... cause you gotta make sure it works after the system gets good and hot, right? So... that takes a while.
Splinter Cell... works. :)
SMG... works. :)
Rayman... works (beat the game, already! HEHEHEH)
But really... we bought it for the kids. bwahahahahahah
Oh... and to keep this on-topic... the modchip install was a pain in my <bleep>

OH, how I wish the flexpcb was around when I did my install. Damn thing took me HOURS just trying to get all the wires cut, lined up, and soldered down.
My issue wasn't the actual soldering... it was getting everything lined up and such. <sigh>

Wow how many years has that guy been soldering? lol
Yep installing the D2CKey with the flexPCB is just how I though. Lining up the D2CKey is the easiest part but once you get to the IC, you better hope no solder bridges.

Im not sure what took this guy so long..... he could have had this done in 10 minutes rather than 17:55. good help is so hard to find..... J/K. Very impressive. You can tell hes done that once or twice.
Ive modded the xbox so im curious as to how this will go.... i ll be watching the video and reading as i go.... chip will be here Thursday.... Wish me luck.

Ok... got the key.... and the chip.... soldering the key to the chip was a piece of cake... soldering the key to the drive.... not so easy. salvaged the mod chip and had extra keys. ORDERING another dvd drive from HONGKONG.
My wii now gets an error to eject the disk... which is fine.. but there is no disk in it....
i watched the video of the tech guy while i did my mod.... actually went really easy following him... so yeah.... the smaller soldering points didnt go so well. im going to practice on the dead drive more until the drive comes in.

Nicely done! One thing that bothers me though is how harsh you were with the drive lol. After you finished the mod you just banged it on top of the table to remove any excess wire. I noticed you used very thin solder. What size was it?

good question about the solder,,, also.. what is the tip size on the solder iron and what watt is it....? based on my failure... i can see that the tip is very important.
Camera man..... nice work on the video.... excellent.

We used a wireless microphone, placed on the tv. It really picked up the vibrations on the table, sounds a lot harder than it was.
We use jbc advanced series soldering stations with 0.3mm tips.
We use Almit 0,5mm solder with some Ag (silver) and bit lower melting point than "regular" solder.

one more question..... what was he doing when he was reaching away out of the view of the camera. it sounded like he was maybe cleaning the solder tip or something.. im not sure but i noticed when i was trying that i had a difficult time keeping the solder off thie tip.
i guess i need to keep cleaning that.... correct? what did he use to clean with?

First of all, I must say that if you need to ask how to clean the tip of your soldering tool, you also need a lot more experience before you are on the level you need to be to succeed with this kind of modification work.
Our techs pretty much use a standard wet/moist sponge that comes standard with the soldering workstation. And we always keep a small can of tip cleaner taped to the workstation, you can get those at any good electronics supplier. You can probably spot both the sponge and the tip cleaning stuff at some point in the video.
