Recently, a friend of mine asked me to mod his Xbox for him. I had already shown him some of the work that we have done, as well as a demonstration about how modded Xboxes work and totally pwn non-modded Xboxes, and he was really psyched to get his Xbox modded with the latest. So, I took up his offer and he paid me $100 dollars to buy the parts and mod the box.
Of course, I also couldn't resist modding my own Xbox at the same time as I did his, considering that I had been waiting a while to mod my own. So, I went online, checked out
www.modchip.com, and purchased two
Xecuter 3 CE modchips at reduced prices
(because I bought more than one). This online transaction was completed a few days ago. I am expecting a package in my mailbox tomorrow.
As for now, I have been taking apart the two Xboxes, and have been cleaning and preparing the joints to be soldered and wired.
Since my friend's Xbox is a v1.6b and mine is a v1.4-1.5, I will have to mod each Xbox separately from the other, mainly because the motherboard is a completely different layout. Microsoft had to be bitchy like that, I guess.
Also, while I was doing this, I happened to notice that Jon's Xbox also needed
just a little bit of cleaning. ^_^
After Jon's Xbox nearly caught on fire a couple of days ago, I decided that I would also open up his box and see what the problems were. The second I pried open the Xbox (upside-down),
a pile of dust and dirt dropped into my lap. Quite soon, the entire room was hazy and smoky.
Here's a video of my cleaning the rest of Jon's Xbox, inside-out:
