DIY fix revives an Xbox 360 Slim with a custom POST_OUT adapter

Instead of waiting for a commercial adapter, a custom solution was made with a 3D-printed clamp and a short piece of tinned 30 AWG wire. After a few sizing tweaks, it enabled installation of Xell Loader and brought the console back to life, with printable files and instructions shared online.
