RGH Coolrunner Soldering

[Dark_Riku]

Hi there, had a customer who kinda went a bit mad on the soldering and bridged all the points. I used Solder Wick to clean it and then re-solder the wires. Just wondering if this looks fine for standards.

Lol, how can you solder the pads on the coolrunner together? That guy thought he needed to waste an entire roll of solder on the thing or something?

Anyways, this looks fine to me, I would just be afraid that it short circuited and killed the Xbox 360. I would desolder the entire thing and flash the stock NAND and test first!

well looks cleaned up now but best way is to test all points with multimeter and another board see if they match the only other option failing that is to test it on a box and see how it goes. Got to admit seen worse

Just tested on my Jasper, seems to be glitching fine. Thank god for that...his iron looked Oxidized like shizz...i don't think he has ever heard of tinning the tip or cleaning it for that matter...

Nah.....i'm gonna tell him never to touch an iron again...if he can't solder to simple points like that...no point in trying the main task hehe. Thanks for the responses.
