Finished the region mod on my X'Eye

[Jimmy Yakapucci]

I finally got around to finishing the region mod that I did on my X'Eye. There are a couple things that I did that make it different from the regular region mod. First, I used a very tiny slide switch and placed in under the CD cover so that the unit looks stock. I also changed the LED for the power and it is set now to be red for US region setting and green for Japanese region. Here are a couple pictures of how the switch looks. I know that it is hard to see in the pictures so I added another to show the size of the switch. The switch is located in the upper right hand corner of the CD tray, about 2 o'clock. I will take more pictures of it in use at a later date. I didn't take any of the internal workings because I am not blessed with the neatest of handiwork.







Comments and suggestions for future improvement appreciated.

Hiding a region switch under there is a good idea. I don't see why so many region modders use giant paddle switches on the outside of the machine. Flat switches on the back are good, hidden ones even better.

Looks pretty sharp to me, can't even tell it was modded really. I think the best mods are the subtle effective ones so the system keeps it's original look.
