How to repair lite-on pad 101

[Dream]

This is what it should look when you are using my easy probe method. ("MRA method")

Tools are scalpel and Weller.

Stop that what you are doing. You don´t have the skill to fix that.
Pin 59/61 is 1,8V it is dangerous to short them to 3,3V line, you can kill your xbox or the drive whit short-circuit these pins.

Epoxy removal is hard and it is not for everybody.

Buy new drive, save your x360 console.

Hey I can only give you the info how to fix these PCB´s.
I can´t give you the soldering skill.
If you make short-circuit you can kill you X360 console.

My only advice, Noob´s buy modding service from someone!

ya its okay. i dont even have it hooked up to a 360 just powered via ck3pro

Take the wire off clean it and take new pic.
Do you have the fw?

Best cleaning liquid is Isopropyl alcohol @ it is used in car fuel lines Antifreez "gas dryer". (100% Alcohol you can´t drink this!!)
If you can´t find any use asetone @ Nail polish remover.

Bubblegum fix



How to save FW without removing epoxy. (This is not permanent fix)

1. Use map pin to find the hole.
2. Use awg30 wire to fix the broken pad. (hole)
3. Tape it. (don´t solder it)
4. Solder the other end to 3,3V line and dump it.

Hi Dream.  I am sure you can help me.  I have read through all 15 pages of posts and find I am a bit more confused now than before.  Basically I did XboxxDR method and seemed to have damaged the trace that above the 101 pad.  I am at work an un-able to send pics now but if I do can you give me some help on what I need to do to dump and fix. 

I am not sure what method to go with now after reading all the posts.  I will send pics when I get home.

Thanks in Advance.

jasoncmt24,

My name is Timo and i asked Arakon to change nick it to my real name.
Yes i can help you. Post the pic.

[jasoncmt24]

These are the best pics I could get for now.  Let me know if you need more.









This is after I cleaned it up.  I removed the switch too.

jasoncmt24,

Clean the board and take the extrasolder off, all the bad "wires" off.
I need hires Picture top of the board.

Damm you guys are good at soldering.

[jasoncmt24]

I have contunity before the first cut and nothing after.  I have a piece of OHM strand that I was going to use as a jumper to the other pad to bridge and bring it back to stock but I will wait now that I found you......

[Dream]

jasoncmt24,

$#!t Clean the board all the extra solder off. All all all

[jasoncmt24]

Ok, I will pickup some desoldering braid tonight when I wake up and clean up the excess solder.  Right now it is a pretty clean board with just 3 cuts and 1 wire connected to a pad.

dream....

i have measured the 3,3v to gnd...the multimeter isnt changing...

i measured that like in this picture...

but, when using this picture:

and trying to measure 3,3v touching with one spear ofthe multimeter those 3 holes near the R709, R707 and R708, and with the other spear the nearby GND..then it measure numbers like this: 93,5 or 98,5.....my multimeter is set on the "beeping"....and showing those numbers...there so no beeing...

this is a new piture of the pcb without solder

Okay so spent all damn day cleaning the board and re-soldering the board.  No trace pads were damaged and only the one trace that was above P101.  Hook it all up and damn it, 3 red rings and no eject!  Multimetered it according to the diagrams here and 12v is fine, 5V is fine but 3.3v reads 2.  Any suggestions?

Is the wire that runs from the switch that connects to p101 suppose to connect to the trace and pad 101?

I get contunity on all points accept the one that has a cut with no jumper.  If I probe before the cut it is fine but after the cut it reads 5.something.  Any suggestions?

Also, I can't seem to get all the solder (silver off the board with the braid)  Should I sand it off since it is flat and clean or is there another solution?

[jasoncmt24]

Okay think I might have it figured out.  If I remove the red wire (probe) and attach it to the 22 instead of the 101 might this fix my problem?  I think that trace is too shot.....?
