Please explain this guide to me.

Hello.
I'm sorry for all these dumb toipcs but I'm really new to this and I think this guide is broken.
It keeps referring to broken pictures.
Luckily one of the Forum members made a diagram which works with this guide but it still doesn't make any sense to me.
Link to guide : http://forums.benheck.com/viewtopic.php?t=17261
Here's the diagram

Im really not stupid or bad at understanding stuff but it's really late and my brain doesn't want to cooperate right now. Also I'm a total newbie when it comes to modding so cut me some slack .
All I need is an explanation of what pin to solder to what and which ports I need to remove first.
I will thank you guys in advance
 
Dont use SS's diagrams with mine. If I remember correctly SS made up his own numbering scheme that dont correlate to the pin numbers on the motherboard. Look at my guide for original dd pinout numbers.

What? This is your diagram??? As much as I know it's made by Special Ham and he said it worked with the SS guide.
2. Can you link your Guide please.

Woops I just noticed.
Jeah it was made by you but I have a friend who used your diagram with SS guide and it worked fine.
Again please link your Guide.
 
The stickies. Ashens guide is in the stickies. I am adding some pics of boards in my possession. You will see since this is just a disc drive that all the pins should go together that easily.

Back in one sec...



As you can see above, this is the to side of the GC main board. You can also see next to the GC DVD drive connector there are number 1 2 3 and 4, of you follow all 32 pins you get something like this...
First Row: 3,7,11,15,19,23,27, and 31
Second Row: 1,5,9,13,17,21,25, and 29
Third Row: 4,8,12,16,20,24,28, and 32
Fourth Row: 2,6,10,14,18,22,26, and 30




This is the DVD drive board, you can see I have a not so great shot of the connector. But where it's at the pins are...

Top Row: 31,29,27,25,23,21,19,17,15,13,11,9,7,5,3 and 1
Bottom Row: 32,30,28,26,24,22,20,18,16,14,12,10,8,6,4, and 2.

Just differ each pin to the corresponding pin. That's it, nothing else to it. I am pretty sure your just confusing the DD relocation with connecting a wkf/wasp chip. Take your time and read until you can't read anymore, then read some more. Honestly though dude, of you have to keep asking the same question over and over, you might want to reconsider doing this kind of mod.

Thanks for your explanation .
Please note that I have the tools and the knowledge I'm just not a native English speaker and i didn't understand the broken guide.
Also why do you think I should not do that kind of mod? I'm sorry for asking dumb questions but this is what forums are for! And yes I'm fairly new to modding but I've actually a really good knowledge of Hardware and Software and im actually really good at this stuff. My only problem is that I can't understand broken guides. ( And not my English is to blame. I'm actually a fluid English speaker. ) Now please tell me what brought you to the assumption that I should stop my gamecube mod.
I'm sorry for getting angry but all I wanted is a not broken guide on how to solder a disk drive .
I mean ok if you think I should stop THEN SAY IT IN MY FACE. ( not literally )
 
Yo I speak English too. I live the states for the last 31 years of my life dude. I am not trying to say stop cause you suck I'm saying don't *Can'tSayThisOnTV* up your cube. Much of this is not for the faint of heart. Plus about 99% of all new people who ask explain this guide fail.
