16. Now you can remov your DVD drive from your Xbox360 to make the changes you need to to your DVD drive, you can install your modchip or you can install a new and hot Xbox 360 case :-)

  INSTALL THE MODCHIP

CAUTION: Due to the heat involved in soldering, you must only hold the iron tip on the pad to be soldered for enough time to allow the solder to flow. If too much heat is applied to the contact it may damage the chip, lift a PCB trace or burn insulation back on the wire. If you burn the insulation off of the wire, trim and re-solder the connection. Removing too much insulation could result in the exposed copper wire touching other traces on the board. This is hazardous to the slim line Xbox360 unit.


You can now tape the ModChip on the board in a clear area where it will not be damaged.

After double-checking all connections and soldering points, follow the above steps in reverse order to re-assemble the Xbox-360.

Once you have completely re-assembled the unit, plug in your power source and video outputs. Power up the Xbox 360 and test the unit FIRST with an original game.
