COOLRUNNER coolrunner rev c and Qsb question

[Danielravelo]

Hello guys, I'm having a huge problem with my coolrunner, I installed a qsb v3 ( that one without the crystal). Then I soldered my Rev C coolrunner to the qsb and the point B had to solder to pad FT3N2 because the qsb didn't have the pad B.
When I proceeded to programm the CR using a JR Programmer, the coolrunner did not show a green light at all.

I'm on a corona v1
Used the 50 cm blue wire for CPU_RST
I wasn't under wifi

So, I was wondering if u guys know why does the CR does not show the green light?

This is everything I'm using:Corona v1
JR programmer
QSB corona add on (no crystal)
Coolrunner Rev C
Nand size 250 GB
dash version 2.0.16537.0
CB version N/A

I have not started j-runner yet as of the green light on the coolrunner don't appear.
Q- why doesn't the green light This is everything I'm using:Corona v1
JR programmer
QSB corona add on (no crystal)
Coolrunner Rev C
Nand size 250 GB
dash version 2.0.16537.0
CB version N/A

I have not started j-runner yet as of the green light on the coolrunner don't appear.
Q- why doesn't the green light on the coolrunner appear?

I doubt its because soldering issues because it should be able to show the green light while no cables are soldered to it. Btw it hasn't been programmed yet.

I don't know why it's not working for you. Is it a TX CR or a clone? Does your JRP work? Do you have the drivers installed?

Maybe you should take pics so we can see what you have.

Well I guess is a TX CR cuz is got the little TX in a circle and everything, I bough it from ModSupplier.com as well as my JRP. The JRP turns on its red light when conected to the cpu and the CR turns on the red light when I plug in the xbox. Btw how do I place pics here?
Sorry for dumb questios I'm such a noob

I have installed both the CR and the qsb v3

Its not working becouse CR rev C on corona need the external crystal. Get the upgrade QSB and read before you order stuff next time.

 

[Danielravelo]

Well I think I messed up on that, I have already installed the qsb, is there a way I can install a crystal to it?
Or do I have to desolder it?

You can try the diy corona upgrade using a crystal and some wires but replacing the QSB is what Ill recommend since I don't know your skills.

Sorry for not answering back soon, I was at work.
Tell me more about that diy corona and how to install the crystal without replacing the qsb please. I can say I'm a good solderer.

As in the J-Runner tut.One wire to 3v3, one wire to GND and one wire to B.

Ohhh thanks a lot, anyway, I just succesfully disoldered the QSB v3. But two of my pads are black gray instead of shiny gray, any clue of why that happens?
Thanks a lot guys, mostly for ur patience.

Wow, thanks bro, if I would know how easy that was I probably wouldn't take the Qsb off. Anyway, its done already, I guess I will order the one with the 48.000 MHz crystal & I'm good to go.

Btw guys why does the pads go black gray instead of shiny gray?

 

[BrockThunderjam]

Because you're not using flux and your tip may be dirty (no pun intended)?

 

[Danielravelo]

Are the pads less effective if they are black gray?

just put some flux on the pads and run your *clean* tinned iron over them, It should bring them back to nice bright solder joints. (only very little time this does not need more then a second or two. Just a light swipe.)
