[QUOTE="Fien, post: 10385790, member: 569506"] I finished the 128MB RAM upgrade of my Xbox OG :) The extra RAM seems to be quite useless, but I wanted to try if I could do it too :lol: It was way more difficult then "The Internet" showed. "Drag soldering" didn't work, I think it was the flux or soldering station I used :unsure: I ended up soldering the pins 1 by 1. I started at the top side of the board which was more difficult because the heatsink and capacitors sat in the way. And every time if I accidentally touched 2 pins at the same time, it was bridged and needed cleaning with wick. The second chip was even worse... it became slightly misaligned but I saw it too late. So it was even more challenging to prevent bridges. I left the board rest after the 2 chips on the top and started with the 2 on the bottom side some days later :) In the meantime I found a new syringe of (Amtech) flux which was a great improvement in preventing bridges B-) The 3th chip needed multiple tries because of loose pins. The 4th chip was the only one that worked in the first try :blush: [/QUOTE]
