-modding FAQ for n00bs- by nathan219
Nathan219 wrote:Ok guys, before you go posting anywhere, read this, for it contains all the questions that everyone in this forum is really tired of answering
Q: How do you open up the 360?
A: http://www.anandtech.com/systems/showdo ... i=2610&p=2 It's a very good tutorial on taking it apart
Q: How do I take apart the remote?
A: http://forums.llamma.com/viewtopic.php?t=1937
Q. what kind of screwdriver do I need to take apart the wireless controller
A. Torx size T-8
Q: How do you cut a window into the panel?
A: A dremel or similar cutting device works fine. Take you time though while cutting this
Q: What should I make the window out of?
A: Plexi-glass or Acrylic work the best. Cheap and sturdy, won't break
Q: Does the glass (plexi, acrylic) have to be the exact shape of the hole?
A: No, just pop the window (make it bigger than the hole) and it's all good
Q: Do I need the Microsoft HD?
A: If you want to play old Xbox games, then yes. The Microsoft HD and Memory cards are the only way to save game information.
Q: Can't I just use some other HD?
A: No, this is cause the 360's HD has info on it that it needs in order for it to actaully use it as an HD. A USB HD can only be used for music and pictures.
Q: I have a 2 Billion GB USB Harddrive connected to my 360, why won't it work?
A: You need to partition the drive into less than 32 GB sections. Then, make sure you're looking in the Music/Images part
Q: How do I install Cold Cathodes?
A: You can either draw the power from the fans, or draw it from the DVD drive. Then just glue them in place
Q: Can I use an old Xbox controller with the 360?
A: No, even with a USB adapter, it won't work. The only thing you could do is make some kind of Hybrid, or wait till a company makes a big controller
Q: Are there Mod chips out for the 360?
A: There might be....
Q: Can I change out the DVD drive on the 360?
A: No
Q: Why cant you interchange the DVD drive
A: EEprom and DVD drive must correspond in code
Q: Can I cut the grey box off the 360 Headset and put a different headset on it?
A: Yes, http://forums.llamma.com/viewtopic.php?t=948 read the first post, it may help out
If you didn't find you question answered, then You could always try the search or [url=http://www.google.com]GOOGLE

I believe that's all. Please make this a sticky, and If I forgot anything, Tell me, I'll add them.
