I cant post pics yet because I wont get my camera back till tomorrow, but I wanted to know if anyone has a sure fire way to glitch the v1 16 mb corona.

ive been trying to do this on my own for the whole day. Ive done a corona v3 and I did not struggle at all.

The only thing i am doing different is using the cpu post fix adaptor. I dragged on the cable and lifted the post on the bottom of the board, so using that method is not an option for me right now.

Ive also tried both ecc files in case you are wondering
and yes switch 8 is on.

If I am being to vague, I mean to say that I have my dgx wired, but my dgx will not stop blinking green.

There was no need in even starting a thread if you cant provide the pics of damage and info needed. I have a motorcycle in my back yard that won't start, but I put gas in it, can you tell me why it won't start now?

Recap
Corona V1 16 mb nand
lifted post pad, so I resorted to cpu post fix
I have successfully booted stock nand with no issues
I wrote ecc version 1 and 2 with the new jr with nand set to corona
switch 8 set to on.
I am turning on my xbox with my wired controller, but I disconnect it right away. I had issues with the controller when I did my v3, so I know unplugging it after booting works.

I cant get my dgx to glitch. It blinks green forever.
I am guessing its just coming down to wire lengths. If someone could suggest a sure fire length I am willing to try. I have a radio shack down the street so if I need a different type of wire I am willing to buy it. I already have tons of radio shack 22 guage hook up wire if that will do the trick.

Try a 50cm wire from dgx c pad to post fix adapter #1 pad. And try a bigger wire for cpu_rst 24awg 12cm long(same size as the black ground wire and red pos. wire)

Actually if you don't mind can you tell me exactly what cables you use and where you buy them? I just want to have something proven to work.

If you read here it gives some real good info on wire sizes and lengths

I could be wrong, but that looks like a v3 board to me.

I can't see any resistors in place at R2C6 and R2C7 next to the J2C3 header (without these pads bridged, the I2C bus won't work (E & F on the DGX)).

If it was v3, I wouldn't be able to dump my nand without bridging right.
In your case, that is wrong.

From what I can see, there is already a resistor on R2C10 which explains why you can read/write to the NAND just fine.

Bridge the R2C6 and R2C7 solder pads and watch what happens ;).

I uploaded these pics. You are right though they arent bridged, but I never bridged them cause it is a v1 according to tx website. I will bridge them right now.

god damn blakey strikes again! I got my key! A million thanks. 14 hours on this sh*t. I even thought about bridging them before, but I thought it wasnt necessary for the v1. THANKS BLAKEY!

Like Bl4k3y said that looks like a V3 not a V1.
