Tutorial Hip Pad Lcd Screen In A 360

[LGC]

First of all you will need one of these pictured below, They can be found here: eBay - hip pad, Games, Accessories items on eBay.com

And if you know of anywhere else please pm me a link to the source.

What you need :



now if we flip it over it will look like this and you will notice 6 screws on the back which i have outlined in red



after you unscrew these the case should basically fall apart fairly easy leaving you the juicey insides to devour... i mean use on your xbox. it will look like this



now if we get a close up of it with my ****ty camera you can notice a small ribbon cable at the top right which i have unplugged very carefully... you should keep your eye on it at all times as they are trickey and like to break themselves when no one is watching



now there are several screws scattered around the place, all of which are visible when you open the case up, you should have no problem removing them as they arnt like the ribbon cable and dont like playing tricks on you. here is what it should look like after you remove all the screws and take out the components. cut the wires keeping them as long as possible, and take that ****ty controller and throw it at your little sister or something i dont care, we dont need it anymore



now that the hip pad is taken apart i can give you a techinical extreme photoshopped version of what this should look like. if you dont understand this drawing from looking at it you are probably retarded, but ill explain even more for anyone under 7. there are three parts inside the hip pad,
1.) screen
2.) screen board thingy
3.) other board thingy with power wires on it

do nothing to number 1.)
with number 2.) you should see a yellow wire and a brown wire. you should have cut these when you cut the bunch of them that go into the controller. the yellow wire gets soldered to the scart on the bottom of the motherboard. you need to take apart you 360 and then take out your motherboard to get at it, and then solder it to the number 7 pin on the mobo. the brown wire you solder to the pin directly above and to the left a tad of the yellow wire. you have just soldered video ground and video +. now go eat those cookies

with number 3.) you will notice a green cable and a orange/yellow cable. solder green to the bottom side of the mobo where it says - ground, and solder the yellow/orange wire to where it says 12v. you will also notice a few other colors, red white and black. we dont need these so just tear them off. you can also tear the speakers off too cuz they suck

And lastly you will need to bridge the two points shown together so you can see both the lcd and the tv at the same time, or play the lcd without the cables in, idk it does something special like that so just do it.



This is what it looks like when you solder your extender wires to the bottom of the motherboard.



Dont forget to use protection



After all of that we put the motherboard back on the metal caseing and run the wires up through the gap by the fans and solder the wires to the corresponding points. Here is everything shown just layed out flat spaced out.




Now we plug in the cables and hope to hell the sweat dripping down our forheads doesnt land on the motherboard and cause the xbox to catch on fire.



SCORE IT WORKS!

So here she is with the lights off. Once again im sorry my camera sucks but this thing looks just like a psp screen in real person. No defects, No weird colors, None of that crap.



And here she is in the best mode i have on my camera.

FUZZY MODE!



Note that if your screen doesnt turn on right away mess with the knobs to make sure that they are not set so theres no brightness or something like that, or maybe look at the power switch on the bottom right that says off, and flip it to on.




Its the weekend so i think ill gash into my lovely xbox tomarrow and flush mount this bad boy.



But remember... theres plenty of places to put it so be creative, use some Bondo.
