Hi to all
Just like to share my findings with everyone. After doing a couple of slims and phats I finally came across two stubborn slims - a 4GB dating may 2011 (lets call it s1) and a 250GB dating august 2010 (lets call it s2).
- s1 took something from 4 to 9 coolrunner cycles to boot and sometimes it didn't boot at all (average was 7 cycles)
- s2 took 1 cycle (instant boot) to no boot at all (average was 5 cycles)
I tweaked the wire length and shape (coil, S shape, etc), tried changing the switch from slim to phat, flashed coolrunner with xecuter xsvf and maximus. No progress were to be seen and cutting down the blue wire was just making things worse. Then I read in this forum someone stating that he coiled the wire around the x-clamp (big kudos to you). I tried it and for both console the result is astonishingly good:
xecuter xsvf, switch in slim mode and original size for supplied xecuter blue wire:
- s1 takes 1 cycle to 6 cycles (average 2 cycles).
- s2 takes 1 cycle to 5 cycles (average 3 cycles).
both glitched ALWAYS!
I didn't take a photo of any of them but I leave you guys with a sketch of the wiring below (attention - photoshop skillz level 300
)
notes: coils are marked red. keep your wires away from them as much as you can!
- first of all, route the yellow wire as far as you can from the coil like the drawing suggests
- as for the blue wire, and since I used original size, I couldn't wrap around 2 times, so I passed it below the x-clamp as the image is showing and the used the alternative hole to guide it to the upper side of the board. The drawing shows the blue lines quite far apart for illustration purposes - please tighten them up around the x-clamp as this will also avoid the coils near by.
Hope this helps everyone and once again kudos to the guy who tried it first and shared a hint in one of the coolrunner threads.
Hope to read your experiences with this method.
peace
