Hacking the Xbox

Chapter 3 - Installing a Blue LED 63
Figure 3-10: Soldering the LEDs in place. Note how the board and the LEDs are
taped in place using masking tape.
Once you have soldered all four connections on the two LEDs, clip off
the excess LED leads as short as you can without cutting the metal stubs.
The finished board should look similar to Figure 3-11.

Reassembling the Front Panel
Snap the circuit card assembly back into the front panel by aligning the
top edges beneath the retaining clamps and pushing the card into the
friction lock.
Now, take the full front panel assembly and mate it to the Xbox. First,
feed the wire connector through the original oval-shaped hole through
the electromagnetic interference shield. Then, push the front panel into
the Xbox, and all three friction locks should snap into place.
