PiN headers

[jmdalmighty]

So by the 2nd all my exams will be over and I won't to start work on my jtag but I want all the parts dilivred first I've baught everything for jtaging it(NAND-x) and the one thing I can't figure out is what type of pin headers fit on the mobo correctly so if anyone knows anything about pin headers it would be a great help

I searched nand-x on Xecuter's site. (see here: http://team-xecuter.com/?s=nand-x&x=0&y=0 ) and I could find no information about what type of pin header they use. I think its included though, so why do you have to purchase one?

[jmdalmighty]

No I've got my NAND x you don't need pin header for it but I Want to buy some as I will be doing other mods on the 360 and will need power sources

[iBotPeaches]

O for the nanddump pins?

 

Looks like its a 14 pin header with pin 13 removed.

**** it has nothing to do with NAND or jtag I'm just wondering what type of there is a certern type of pin headers that work will with xbox I was wondering if a buy a 41 long header with single pins would that be ok and do you just cut it at the point you want it at ie let's say there is a 3 pin Hedder space on the mobo do you just cut it. And how do you attach it push them in and heat it up so the solder melts?

What are you trying to accomplish by getting pin headers? Sure you could buy a very long pin head and just snip them at required lengths (3x2, 7x2), but then you just have a bunch of pin headers. Those just make soldering direct wires easier, it won't exactly help gather power for other mods. I don't know about your mobo, but mine had all the solder points filled in, so a direct wire would be easier in my situation.

i am refering to the xbox 360 and was wanting to add pin headers so it save me time soldering to the mobo. ie like the 12v fan mod insted of soldering to the bord i can make quick connect pints on the mobo to allow to add and remove fans leds and such.

[iBotPeaches]

The 12v fan mods require just one soldering point on those little hub black things.

I don't know what there called. I also too don't see how a pin header will help. Maybe on an xbox v1 where you had hundreds of chips that could plug into the LPC ports, but on the 360 only a few parts take advantage of the pin headers, and those that do include one.

Hold up I'll show you what I mean
