It's done. Encoded in DivX! It's 167 MB, over 25 minutes in length, and high bitrate. I am watching over it to make sure the upload is ok.

I just pulled it down using wireless, I am losing lots of packets, so I have to redownload it on my ethernet computer. Looks good so far (all 144 MB I got of it).

Pulled it down on my ethernetted computer. It's looking good.

Here's a YouTUBE video of the same chip being installed at a different angle. You can watch that as a supplement to my video.

I am quoting Ted Stephens in his completely wrong statement that the internet is tubes.

That was my favorite part, none of that "risk of shock" crap, just the facts, because you will die, and he isn't responsible for it either. :D

Hey, even Llamma says it's dangerous.
Llamma said [url=http://llamma.com/xbox/Repairs/warnings.htm]here[/url] wrote:Warnings

Read the warning labels on the case and internal components Microsoft puts those there to indemnify from responsibility because it is in fact dangerous in there. The power supply is exposed, when it is not plugged in it can still hold a significant amount of power, it can shock you, if it is plugged in and you touch it, it WILL shock you. Taking proper precautions it can be perfectly safe. A few things to consider.

Damage to you-
High voltage electrical shock hazard, touching almost any part of the power supply while it is connected will result in a shock. Even a brief shock at just the right moment/voltage etc can result in messed up heart rhythm and death. Consider wrapping the power cord into a bundle, when the case is open the cord stays under the lid in a bundle. When the lid is on you can un-bundle the cord and plug it in. This may sound like an exaggeration but you need to be very responsible with your actions.

Ok, episode 6 coming out soon. I'm demonstrating Dark_AleX's 2.71 and MPH's 2.00 downgrader.

I couldn't get Dark_AleX's 2.71 generic downgrader to work unfortunatly :( .
