Alternative points for xenon???

[rroddr]

is there any links for alternative points for xenon STBY_CLK

 

[aarongdl]

I dont think there are any found just yet, if you cant solder the current points I wouldnt aempt it personally.

 

[rroddr]

pulled the pad off of the STBY_CLK guess time to move on to the next one ( ionly have about 11 left)

Thats going to be just like the newer motherboards - just scrape the trace and install a jumper

just had a look with the multimeter and point FT2R2 looks good to use for alt point will post pic in a min

i will post back monday and tell you if the point is good as i am waiting for some capacitors to do a keyless xenon i got off ebay

if the pad is ripped, you may not have continuity in FT2R2

if not, you will have to solder to the R3B7 resistor right above the pad

 

[RROD!]

yes this is true but id think you would have to fix the trace and not just solder the resistor

there is no track i can see leading to this point.

here are my findings so far, as i also tore the pad tried to put the shroud on while it was probably going to rgh (eventually) it was starting to get really hot
bridged the FT2R2 to resistor above the point in question & coolrunner pad B console turns on! no boot no green led on coolrunner,
I hope someone has a workround for this if not its sat for years anyway but would be nice to use it till it rrod

there is a trace it runs down from the pad and then gos under the board unless you have ripped that off too then you will need to use a wire to run from top to under to fix it..if you are trying to do it with out aid like microscope then you have no chance of fixing it

can you show me a pic of the track to scratch please

I just looked at the motherboard, you do indeed have to connect FT2R2 to R3B7 if the pad is ripped.

The trace from R3B7 to FT2R2 continues on to the Southbridge. The trace from FT2R2 goes directly under C2R6 cap.

good to know thanks

Does it matter what side of R3B7 you connect to ?

 

[Bhuthogg]

where is R3B7? is that the component (resistor) above the pad on question?

Kinda in the same boat here. Yes i believe it is the one above that point. Going to tack a wire from FT2R2 to R3b7 and im thinking maybe from R3B7 to the Coolrunner maybe?

 

[Bhuthogg]

it powers doing this but isnt glitching ? any help or pics please

this works.. well its flashing the green led so hopefully in the next 24 hours lol

Thanks for the update. Just waiting on some parts for my project.

well after 18 hours still no xell im going to try sheilded cable
