    Not being smart with you.
    But if you really need to ask what tools you need to install a RGH your as well off paying someone to do it for you.
    Its extreamly delicate soldering.



    Anyway you want a 30 watt soldering iron.
    solder
    flux
    nand-x and the needed cables
    and a chip to put in the console.
    And a computer

    im not saying that everyone has to be professional.
    I'm the furthest thing from a professional.

    What I was trying to get across is that its an extreamly difficult hack to perform, especially if you have no experience with soldering or modding.
    no point in destroying a 200-300 euro xbox when you can just pay someone to hack it for you.

    Not trying to be an prick or anything I'm just trying to spare you a few €'s

    start smaller and build up to it.

    Is that not a bit risky for such small/delicate work? I'd have thought 10/15w would be more suitable?

    Personally myself I cant stand 15w irons,
    Just personal preference

    @scottp68877

    I just figured 30w is a bit too hot for mainboard soldering around fragile components? Though I mostly use a 30w myself :) Sometimes the 15w can make things more difficult by not being hot enough

    You can do more damage with a 15w waiting for it to heat up a pad than you would with a 30w at times.
    Personal preference but I like to be in and out quickly ...less chance to do damage
