    Hi there,

    I've just bought an xecutor lite 2.3b plus to mod my xbox. It's a non-solder thing but they recommend using a fibreglass pen to clean the d0 point.

    Anyone know where I'd get one of these in Dublin & how much they cost?

    Try here mate. Give D0 a little going over with the pen until the via becomes shiny so that your solder will stick to the via and your away! Hope this helps.

    Save yourself some cash and use a razor blade to prepare the d0 point. ;)
