Inspired by a Xboxmod08 Of Sweden's guide for:
How to install a reset switch in the xbox game controller
(http://dwl.xbox-scene.net/~xbox/xbox-scene/tutorials/01.pdf)

NOTE!! I TAKE NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY DAMAGES OR ERRORS ETC. THAT MIGHT OCCUR WHEN USING THIS TUTORIAL

After i had read the tutorial, i thought i could be done easyier.

Then i looked inside my controller and xbox and saw something nice.

1: get a push button (off when down)
2: install it like in the original tutorial (drilling hole etc.)
3: connect a wire from the one leg of the button to ground in your controller
4: connect the other leg of the switch to the yellow wire in the controller (the extra wire M$ has put into it, for our pleasure)
5: open your xbox and locate the yellow wire.
6: connect the yellow wire to + volt inside your xbox (you can get it from the front panel)

Then it should work. It sounds strange, but M$ is actually making a connection between - and + when you push your on/off button on the console...

btw.. if you wan't to enable Dolby Digital with a standard AV pack then do this:

1: Pull the AV plug out of your xbox
2: Look into the plug. There you'll see some small holes in the middle
3: Find a small piece of wire (1-2 cm)
4: twist the wire and put it into hole 5 and 18 (making a connection)

5: plug the AV pack into your xbox again
6: now you can select Dolby Digital from the M$ Dash
