Aladdin chip install

Only use that PDF guide to see where to solder, because the chip being installed here operates differently thanks to the XBlast OS that is pre-flashed onto it. I tend to solder just one pin, and then turn it over to check that it is still in the correct place before proceeding with more.

Hold the soldering iron tip on both the pin header and the metal of the hole for a second or two heating them both up, then apply enough solder so that it floods around the pin and fills the hole. Then remove the solder, shortly after remove the soldering iron. For this particular model motherboard there is a Capacitor that is slightly in the way, when you fit the XBlast Aladdin I had to allow it to push the Capacitor towards the front of the motherboard.

I actually ended up heating up the leg of the Capacitor on the underside of the motherboard and pushed the Capacitor towards the front of the motherboard so that it naturally sits at the required angle. I said earlier that depending on your motherboard version the D0 point might be located in different places. The 1. Near the LPC port there are a series of solder pads that go in a slightly wavy line, on my 1.

The LPC holes are in the bottom left of the photo, the rear of the motherboard is to the left of the photo. Applied to liquid flux to the area, held the soldering iron tip on the relevant solder pad, leaving some of the pad exposed so that you can just touch it with the solder, start with a small amount of solder and then remove the solder followed shortly after by the soldering iron.

Some people use thin multi-stranded wire as it is stronger if the wire is going to be bent and moved around. Holding the soldering iron on the exposed wire to heat it up, then apply some solder until it coats it. Be careful not too damage the pads. Install onto the LPC header in your Xbox. There is no other connections to worry about. If you have a 1. Don't ground any D0 points etc. Skip to content. Star Branches Tags. Could not load branches. Could not load tags.
