All v1 Xbox's have the LPC holes filled.
To remove the solder it's best to use a desoldering braid.

Got it, I just desoldered it with a desoldering braid, and I tried to install the chameleon with solderless adaptor... nothing... the xbox still works, the chip works, just wont boot up the mod chip.. could it be the adaptor? or did I ruin the connection on the LPC? one more noob question.. when you desolder.. how long do you leave the soldering gun on the LPC points for? thanks!!

Could be the adapter, also make sure you are using the correct hole for the D0 wire.
What happens when the Xbox boots with the chip On?

The LPC holes were supossed to be filled with solder. Why would you take the solder out? It is hard to make good contact with no solder in the holes. Every guide i have ever read has said to fill the holes with solder and to use a pen for removing laquer off the spot where the DO makes contact because the laquer will not allow good contact. I have modded many xboxes and have NEVER took the solder out. I have had to fill lpc holes with solder but not take it out!! If you were gonna solder in a pin header for your chip i could see wanting to take the solder out but for the solderless chip there is no need to remove the solder. I think you have been misinformed!!

[QUOTE]Why would you take the solder out? [/QUOTE]
The Chameleon adapter also comes with small rivets to place in the LPC holes if they are empty. Seeing how the LPC holes are never filled evenly with solder there are sometimes you don't get a good connection.

So is it better to desolder the lpc points if i have a v1.0 xbox or do i need to leave the solder on the board?

I double checked, yes, got the correct D0 position. when I boot it up, it's the normal xbox dash, not the cromwell linux screen. I'm very frustrated.. lol...

There's no need to desolder the LPC holes. Not a big deal if you do or don't.
The only hole you do want to double check is the bottom left to make sure this is evenly filled with solder like the rest.

ok, so I don't have to desolder...that means there's no need to use the rivets, so I can just plug the solderless adaptor right on the soldered points... i'll give it a try, thanks!
