read through it a bunch of times now in preparation.....and of course as normal theres the problem with looking at 20 diff pics of the same thing with diff ways of doing it etc lol.
However I'm wondering about the first part of soldering.
1. I presume this first pic is of the Xenon as it does not say, nor give alternative. (Luckily my mobo is a xenon)
2. Would this be the pic for the non Xenon boards for that part?

In the pic of page 6 it says that you may need a diode. Where point 4 is.
3. so should we actually do it without the diode first, and then try diode afters? Or can it do no harm to put the diode on in first place and is this generally recommended?
4. should the diode be attached directly to the motherboard more or less or could it go on the lpt end too
5. Would I be right in that the picture of the lpt is the FRONT side that connects to the PC, and therefore you should actually solder to behind that of course, so in effect having to mirror image the solder (wonder how many people did that to the wrong side
)
