Cannot detect flash controller help...

[Spiral]

Hey Guys,

Got myself a Xenon motherboard and the TX NAND-X PRO kit.

Everything soldered perfectly. Checked multimeter - everything good.

Only problem is when I come to take the 1st NAND dump, it cannot see any flash controller devices.

Any ideas or has anyone experienced this before? I have soldered / desoldered over and over again, Pins, direct wires, same effect - no flash device! I'm starting to doubt the NAND-X controller unit???

(Dash 7371)

Thanks!

have you installed the drivers for the nand-x ? also ensure you have the mobo plugged into the power plug (not switched on - just plugged into the power)

always check your connections too

sometimes my NAND-X plug (the socket from the wires to the NAND-X) is a little loose

often i have to have it at just the right angle to get it to read

comes from lots of use is my guess

hope you get it figured out

Nope - still no joy even after doing another rewire.

Anyone willing to test my Nand-X reader - will ship in the post (UK) - stay in Scotland though (Ayrshire) so if anyone is local???

Cheers

before you ship it off, uninstall and reinstall your drivers for it

like BH said, drivers are important

you do have the power brick plugged into the mobo don't you? it need to have power going to the board! (don't switch the board on though) ?
