I recently installed chimp to my xbox so that I could upgrade the hard drive.

After taking all the proper steps I place everything back and boot it up. After boot I'm greeted with the service required screen and the number 05 in the left hand corner. Any solutions?

I have my other hard drive next to me so hope isn't lost if this messed up somehow.

Yes, that'll lock the drive.

Make sure it's the actual key, not 16x 0 or whatever.
Still getting the error. I go to lock it from motherboard and it still don't work.

It seems my drive isn't lockable. Oh well I tried.
 
It's not soldering.
It's laying enough of a conductive trace on the board so that the TSOP can be flashed.

Rear window heaters are essentially conductive traces.
Heat travels into the traces and that's what makes the rear window defrosted/defogged.
Those traces can snap, but in order to mend it again, you'd need to lay a new conductive trace.

Same technique can be applied to the old Xbox.
Just lay enough of a trace on the solder points to bridge them, allowing write access.

It's not the best solution but it works.

Oh, like on a car, sorry for the confusion.
I may just end up buying a new drive after thinking about it.
Not that I don't wanna learn how to solder, just prefer to not touch the insides of this xbox more than I have to.
