Console Type: Corona v2
Programmer Used:JRP v2.0
NAND Size: 16mb
Dashboard version: e.g 2.0.16xxx
CB Version: err 9 something cant remember will go find it if neded
Detailed Description of the Problem - I turn the console on to boot xell but the console does not attempt to glitch, console booted to stock dash before. Clicked cr4 in j runner btw. I have tried both the double sided cable and the standard cable
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: N
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!!).

if your getting no pulse its prolly down to the postfix adapter.also,it says plainly in the guide that c5r11 is the recommended spot for cpu rst,you will get sh*t boot times using ft3t10,cr4 is nota reg run of the mill chip,use it as recommended or it wont work great like its sposed to.measure resistance cross ground and post,should be around 60k ohm i believe.if your not getting that id suggest reseating the postfix adapter.also i cant see where the hell power wires going in pics,but make SURE its on 5 volt and not 3 volt,this would also cause it not to glitch/pulse at all.

brave of you to use coax cable on FT3T10 with no tape or glue .. personally I wouldn't do that.. its asking for trouble
that too ^^^ it will end up ripping the pad up and then youll have to repair it to get console to work at all.

I certainty would not recommend placing the shielded cable on that tiny point. Shielded cable is good for qsb's or through hole locations not there!

Well the normal point was burnt out so i was advised to use a post fix adapter so when you say its down to that what do you mean? + i am using ft3t10 because c5r11 has also been lifted

If you have to use the alt cpu rst use a different wire for it Kynar etc Not the shielded. once you get a pulse more tuning will most likely be needed than usual as the chip was designed for c5r11. As far as post fix Nofel means make sure the pin is making contact with the ball under the XGCPU measure the post fix pad against ground see what your reading is.

*He also mentioned to make sure you are using a 5v spot and not 3.3

what do you mean by burnt out?
For example, I've burned my post bus with high current, and now it's impossible to install RGH there. you can use postfix if your point was just ripped,

yes that,make sure pin is actually hitting the ball,and not the side of xcgpu.like i said use a multimeter and measure resistance tween ground and postfix pad.if not 60k ohm or round there,you know its not making contact.reseat it.that will either reveal the issue,or eliminate that from being the problem,either way is good really :)

Yeah you're right, sorry ;) I got confused, was really sure I repaired that once but it was the trace next to it.
lol np,all the diff hacks and diff rev motherboards does same thing to me sometimes,its all becoming a huge blur lol.

P.S that point is NOT dead on trinity,and would have to be repaired for the record.

That's why I was confused then, repaired a trinity for the user cod3mwf a while back and that was a trinity with the same pad torn off.
