You might want an X-Clamp removal tool, and some replacement thermal paste. You will need to remove both heatsinks, which means removing the X-clamps on the back. You need a T8 and a T10 Torx screwdriver for all the screws in the console. (Lots of guides on youtube for opening your console.) Open up your console and break it down all the way to the motherboard. Have a Falcon or Jasper motherboard console.įalcon and Jasper consoles can easily be identified as the phat models that have HDMI and by examining their power socket.

Strongly reccommend replacing the thermal paste with good stuff. You might want to check out this video clip of using the X-Clamp removal tool properly to see what you are up against. For sure the X-Clamp can be removed without them, but the risk of damaging your board is very high if you're not very careful. It's been suggested to me that the X-clamp remover should be in the "required" supplies. You might want an X-Clamp removal tool to make opening the console easier. Standard Soldering supplies: A variable temperature soldering iron, some solder (I like 60/40 rosin core Kester), fiberglass scratch pen, some flux paste and a very sharp set of tweezers or an exacto knife. T8 and a T10 Torx screwdriver for all the screws in the console. Some 28 or 30 gauge AWG wire (I like this ribbon cable made of 28AWG wire that can be separated and cut to length) ( Nand-X, JR Programmer, Matrix SPI Flasher, Squirt Slave Programmer, X-Flasher 360, Super Nand Flasher, PicoFlasher, or even a homemade LPT cable!)
