I can not stress enough how much voltage goes through those caps on the board for the Cold Cathode. I in no way would ever reccomend putting that bare where you have it. That is a fire hazard in every sence of the word. My professional opinion is no one attempt that including yourself. Move it and shield it. You will create a massive surge that could blow a hole in the 360 motherboard if any part of that touchs just a resistor underneath it. _________________________________________________________ Check out my Internal & External Watercooled Xbox 360 over at my forums.
