09/26/06 How to fry your Xecuter 360 Connectivity Kit. We had a complaint from one of our customers about a problem with their Xecuter 360 Connectivity kit, when they sent it in for replacement we dug a little deeper to find the cause of the issue. Although the DVD power cables are keyed it is possible to install them reversed in the socket. We put our test board up on the chopping block and shot some video. We marked the tabs with purple marker to show which side is the keyed side on the connector. Notice that it will go in the wrong way with only a little extra effort to push it in. With a couple trace repairs both our test chip and the one from our customer were back in action. This is just a word of warning double check those cables before powering up the PC!
