    Hello, I've recently been looking into modding my 360, I've seen that the process involves smoldering. If it comes down to it I'll give it a try myself but I don't really trust myself to do it without messing it up. Wondering if there's anyone who does the RGH in Ireland. In Wicklow and willing to send it off.

    There's a seller based in Cabra in Dublin selling modded consoles on adverts, I'd say he might do it for you.

    EDIT: Just noticed thread is 10 months old...

    Check youtube for MrMario2011 - thorough guides (bordering on Explain Like I'm 5) - the difficulty depends on your model.

    You might well be able to try it yourself. Practice soldering and de-soldering on something else. A decent soldering iron doesn't have to cost a fortune. Flux is your friend, along with heat and speed, it helps solder flow where it needs to go.

    Clean it up afterwards with IPA (99%).

    Buy the x-clamps (€3-7ish shipped), kapton tape (€10), heatshrink (various sizes, €5?), AWS28-30 wire (€10-15), flux pot/pen/syringe (€5?), 99% isopropyl alcohol (IPA) (€cheap), solderwick (copper braid for desoldering €5), cotton buds, thermal paste (€10?), Xacto/craft-knife, magnifying glass etc. off amazon/aliexpress/centra etc. - you'll use pretty much all of it in any soldering thing and have an easier time.

    Any 2.5" SATA disk can work.

    If you have a Corona motherboard, get a "Postfix adapter" (€5) just in case.

    consolemods.org has a whole bunch of resources and guides including board revision check.
