hey,

ive prepared my xbox for a neon under the jewel, but i am stuck with something... i have taken the jewel out, removed the paint, and cut a hole in the xbox. So at the moment i have a xbox with a clear jewel and a hole underneath it. I have read tutorials at xbox-scene.com about putting a cold cathode neon from a cold cathode PC fan. my question is:

where does the neon connect into? i have a xbox v1.0. i have a fan ontop of the GPU , could i remove that, and connect the neon into the socket that it uses?

NO.................... you dont do that you have to have a power to connect to the yellow and black on the hard drive power then you connect the inverter to the cathode if you dont your light will fry faster.

if that doesnt work try the frezzer stick in there for about 30 mins and then take some thing and start to hammer it off but only from the back side and it should fall off. the blow dryer should work if you hold in on for about 5 minutes and try to pry it off while your using the blow drye but be sure not to pry it off to hard.
