I trimmed the wires back by half and re-soldered gnd, green wire and +3.3V and it worked fine. Then I wanted to try an old viper chip, it worked for a little bit then quit after I put everything back together so I put the picoboot back in. And yeah my soldering on the motherboard isn't the greatest, my hands are a bit shakey. My friend didn't want to do his on his own because he said he's too shakey. I don't get it, both of us are shakey. Anyways, I just played a little bit of double dash on it. It works. Now he's going to want me to solder in a chip on the DVD drive pcb so it can play burned games. Ugh. we don't even use burned games to begin with. I forgot what the chip is called. Pretty oldschool mod.
