Hi everyone. I've seen the articles about flashing the drive and they mention grounding the 360 and your PC. Would someone be kind enough to post a picture of a 360 and the PC with the gator clips in place?

Thanks in advance for your help!

My 360 isnt open now, so can take a pic, but all you need to do, is use a wire, and connect the metal chassis of the 360 to the chassis of the comp, anywhere will do. No specific place.

does the paper clip have to be hooked to a wire?

or just rung around the chassis of the 360?

just make it touch the chasis of 360 and your pc, and make sure u somehow have them attached well so that it won't just fall off.

does it matter if you ground the 360's? as long as the metal from the 360 doesnt touch the tower of the computer, then it shouldnt do anything? Am i right?

As long as the metal chassis of the xbox 360 and pc and attached together, there will be no problem, wire ends should not be touched to the motherboard or any other component in both xbox 360 and pc, otherwise you will blow one or both things up.

well, what i am saying is that do you really need to ground your system to the computer? like as long as the metal on both the xbox and the pc dont touch, there should be no problem of shorting or anything of that matter. am i right? i just am not sure so i was questioning that. thanks!

i heard that everyone who didnt ground their xbox when flashing didnt have a problem but i would recommend doing it as its an extra precaution



Currently on my 7th PS3 and 4th Xbox, gotta love technology..

When I flashed my 360, my tower was layed down, and my 360 was placed ontop of the chassis where the dvd drives are, so thats how I grounded it.
