I'm new to the mod thing (very late to this party) and seem to be off to a rocky start. I have a 360 e w/ corona 6 mobo and while trying to bridge the r2c6 and r2c7 I managed to lift 2 of the pads and still no bridge. So I tried to use solder paste and a heat gun since my soldering skills are not up to the task. Well, still no solder bridge but the blow from the gun move c2c2 and r2c10 off the board and I can't find them. So I have the following questions:

1. Any easy way to get the cap and resistor values so I can get replacement components?

2. Any suggestions on how to resolder these components once I do have them?

3. Any way to get the bridge made on c2r6 and c2r7 with a pad lifted from each?


Hoping to salvage this board if I can but it might be a long shot. I do have another 360e (this was supposed to replace that one) that's not powering on now (stuck on orange light one PSU) and am hoping to get at least 1 working system from these 2. Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

If you were able to lift r2c6 and r2c7 with the soldering iron, your iron is too hot and based on the information you've provided I honestly believe you're going to do more damage than anything else. If you still wish to salvage the board, give it someone who has adequate experience. It's unfortunate but you've chosen one of the most complex boards to work on for a first attempt.
