Good Morning!

I have an issue trying to boot in XELL and need some suggestions:


1) Corona v3
2) Postfix adapter installed, CR4 XL
3) JR Programmer v2 wire install


I read NAND, I think I got a good dump, was able to create ECC, then write ECC. Machine powers up with power and eject button, but I do not get any video output and the fan spins up quicky. The CR4 XL has red light, and blinks slow green.

Thanks!

Please complete the CR4 support template.

I have moved your thread to the correct section.

Thanks.



Console Type:Corona v3
Programmer Used: JRP v2.0
NAND Size: 16
Dashboard version: e.g Latest
CB Version:
Screenshot of NAND details from J-Runner: (attach an image to your post)
J-Runner log
updflash.bin log (if applicable)
Image of the CR4 XL
Images of close-up soldering to motherboard (attach images to your post)
Detailed Description of the Problem
Was the console working before you started: Y
Do you get a green debug light appear on the CR4 XL chip every 4-5 seconds: Y
How long is the light on for each time (be aware that if you're trying to work on a faulty console, this is not a T-X product issue!!).


Red light is on all the time, green light every 4-5 seconds. System powers up, fan spins fast, no video out (using hdmi) eventually turns off.
I've only read nand, create ecc, and write ecc. If I ready Nand now system identifies as trinity instead of corona.

CR4 only wires soldered are postfix, green and blue. My R2C10 resister is in place.

Thanks!

Can you post your jrunner log? I assume you ticket the cr4 box in jrunner before creating ECC?

Your soldering is very poor btw, indeed use some (more) flux. The fact it read as a trinity now, is because you've written a ECC file, don't worry about that too much.

How about a picture under the main board the blue cpu-rst wire ...If you selected CR-4 before creating the ECC and your wires are installed and soldered correctly It should boot to exell
Move around the dips in combination 8-3/then 8-2- then8-4 one at a time Also the green E-wire looks funny at the main board ''''''
There is a test you can do on the post fix adapter ..usually you wont get the green light flashing if the adapter is trouble

Here is the requested pictures. Thanks again for all your guys help!

Jrunner screenshot: Is it possible I got a bad NAND dump? I really do not care if it goes online, or can read DVD.

CPU_RST:



POSTFIX: I had the 2 resisters soldered to their pads, but I took them off. I tested continuity from the pin to the pad where the wire is soldered and it is connected: Thanks!

ahh yeah my bad.... sorry... Anyways I'd try fiddling with different DIP switches. Had a few Corona's myself that needed different DIP switches than the ones stated in the normal guide start with 8-1 then move up. AFAIK the green debug led won't flash meaning it's not glitching if you have incorrect wires. I would also suggest cutting all the wires to fit instead of leaving them the same length. I usually cut my C and D wire to about 8cm.

And trim your wires as short as possible
