    The easiest way to turn your green led to red (without taking off the front panel) (v0.1)

    Tutorial written by : Bobert Hepker

    STEP 1

    Open your Xbox and remove the hard drive and dvd drive.



    STEP 2

    Locate the group of yellow wires next to the group of large multi-colored wires (the power connector for the mainboard). This is near the front of the Xbox and slightly off center to the right.



    STEP 3

    Unplug the yellow wires from the mainboard.



    STEP 4

    Grab a magnifying glass and locate wires 5,6,7, and 8. (Hint: Wire 1 is marked with a 1 and an arrow below it. Wire 2 is marked with a 2 and is on the opposite side. Wire 3 is beside wire 1.)



    STEP 5

    Use a needle to gently pry back the tiny plastic tab that keeps the wire from coming out, then pull out the wire. You need to switch wires 7 and 8, then switch wires 5 and 6. Do not pull out all four wires at the same time because that can easily lead to confusion.



    STEP 6

    After you have switched the proper wires, plug the wire back into the mainboard. Wire 1 (marked with the arrow) will line up with pin 1 on the mainboard witch is also marked with an arrow. Put the hard drive and dvd drive back in place. Put the case back together and your done.



    STEP 7

    Enjoy the evil glow of your XBOX's red led.



    STEP 8

    Play Colin McRae Rally 3.
