Thnx so much man!


do u need to do any thing with the common positive?


no just folloe the tut. To be honest you could use tin foil or anything conductive like a staple or paperclip to bridge the points it dont have to be solder if your not that good at soldering mate.

Well i've not seen anyone mention this before (i could be wrong) but i worked this out for myself :smile: yeay for me lol.
anway what you need is:-
a way to open your 360 (guides everywhere)
Soldering iron
Flux + solder
thin wire for bridge
now take the RF board off the 360 and remove the white plastic cover and look at the pic below.

Its pretty easy even if your not experienced with soldering just bridge both negative terminals on the Player 1 led together by putting a small peice of wire by the red and green negative points and then put flux on to hold it there and allow the solder to stick then touch the points with the iron and apply a bit of solder, NOTE - if it doe'snt make all lights orange you will have to do player 2-3-4 LED's too but some rf boards only need the player 1 light bridging (i always do all of them just incase but like i said only player 1 LED is needed in some cases :smile:.
This gives you a deep orange light on the 360 without breaking the bank and its also pretty easy to reverse too :smile:
I have it done on a stock 360 and here is the result.

Sorry about the pic quality its a phone camera and although the lights look red i can assure u they are orange.:wink: :biggrin: :lol: B)
hey remember me?
ye i opened my xbox(it was so hard!) and i just put a staple on the red negative(to test it out) and it lit up. does that mean that the leds will be on all the time, even when the xbox is off?

Not sure what you meen lol, but the lights wont be on always. Did you connect the 2 negative - terminals? and was your 360 powered when you tried the staple? all you gotta do is follow the tut its prety easy mate but gimme a shout if you need help :biggrin:

Dude i'm only suggesting things to show you that its easy, All you need to do is bridge the 2 points with anything conductive (solder is the best to bridge it)I don't know what else to say to you. If you dont feel confident doing it get someone to help you.

OK! OK! I GET IT! gosh! i just wanted to know what YOU used for solder(foil, staple, solder, etc.)


:tongue: lol i used solder just solder i bridged the gap with solder i melted it on my soldering iron and put it on 1 point then moved it slowlt to the other with a pulling motion, and as if by magic it made a bridge between the points. Hope that helps if not dont try it :tongue:
