Ok, heres my prob, when I was replacing my broken ATA cable(going to hdd to dvd to mobo) it ripped the tenth pin to the right of the port thing where you plug in the ATA on the motherboard, now when i boot the xbox i get a hdd timeout error, could this be because of that missing pin? _________________ This is my signature.

You can solder the pin back into the mobo.

Yes, that would cause an issue. The pin is there for a reason, othewise....it wouldn't be there. Solder it back in if you can, if not, you can buy a new motherboard and sell your broken one to someone who likes to repair them. You can get decent money for mobo's that have minor issues.

Ouch....that blows.
Well, even if you can find a pin that is basically the same thickness, you could always cut it down and solder that in. Not sure if a pin from a mod chip pin header is close or not, but it's at least worth a try.
