[electric_90]

So i took my xbox 360 to my friend house to take the epoxy out so then i can put the 79 passkey. He used a hot glue gun and a blade and took out the epoxy but I'm not sure i am thinking if he had messed it up. I turned my xbox 360 on it didn't had any hardware failure it works fine. He told me just solder the cable but please please check this images and if it is good or not? But my xbox 360 works great. please answer quickly then i can put the 79 passkey.

uh, yeah. it looks like he ripped off all the pads to solder to and like he did a serious attempt at raping the board. now you'll have to remove the epoxy on the chip pins too and solder to those.

what will be the best way to take out the epoxy? do you think the hair dryer will do the trick?

deer god, get a proper heatgun...nothing else will work - on a side note...i'd highly recommend taking it to a professional before you (or your friend) wreck it any further and make the cost more (PM if interested).  Remove the epoxy right down to the pins as Arakon suggested but instead of soldering to the pins to make it a bit easer you can scrape back all the traces and solder to those (as there bigger and much easier to work with) - also i'm not 100% sure on this...but the pad above TP211 will need re-connecting and i'd scrape back those 3 traces on the right (just in case 1 of them is cut) and tin all the scraped back part with solder
