Some Xbox 360 Laptop Questions

Post by ruthus99 »

Hey Guys, I am new to the Ben Heck Forums and I am building the Xbox 360 Laptop following his Latest tutorial. But I have a couple of Questions before I start, Here they are.

I need lots of Ribbon Cable, Will I have to take this from a Old Computer or is there a Place I can buy it separately Online, if So, where?
I also need a Desoldering Iron, does Ben mean a Solder Sucker because I can not find a thing called a Desoldering Iron.
Also, How much can I sell this thing for if it is Fully Functional, and if so, where could I sell it?
One More, A lot of times, Ben says that you have to test Which wire is A+ and B- and Ground using a multimeter, I have no idea how I do this, can someone explain it to me


Thanks for your help Guys!!1

Welcome to the community!

Ribbon cable can be found for free at computer repair stores. Lots of time they don't need the old stuff anymore and will gladly give it to you.

Desoldering equipment can be found online, and at radioshack. At radioshack you can get a nice blue soldersucker, where you push down the handle then press a button to vacuum. They also have a desoldering iron, but that is impossible to clean for me.
