corona v1 - CR4 glitching but not booting (with wiring pics)
ok so i have successfully installed coolrunners before. done one demon, several 4GB nands, but this is my first CR4. i'm not a pro at soldering, but i can do it.
first of all my process. i guess i was excited to try and made a few mistakes which i want to be sure didn't ruin anything. dumped my nand with nand-x twice, got a match. created and wrote ecc (forgot to check CR4 box). wired 3v from CR4 to the red nand-x wire point (oops), and got no power led on CR4, but tried to boot console. realized my mistake and wired 3v CR4 to correct spot. got power led on, but still wouldn't glitch when trying to boot. realized i forgot to switch from phat to slim and set dips 3 & 8. fixed those, nothing. went back to jrunner, saw the CR4 box, and recreated and wrote ecc. still no green led. flashed stock nand, removed power to CR4, console booted. reloaded nand, created/wrote ecc with CR4 checked. checked and resoldered my green, blue, and yellow solder points. i am still getting no flashing green led.
so first question, would wrong location of red wire, using phat switch, and using non-CR4 ecc completely ruin the CR4 or anything else? console seems fine since it booted to stock and CR4 still gets power led, so that's a plus.
next question, does anything look wrong in these pics? obviously i am too tired or impatient to follow instructions, but i'm pretty sure everything should be good now.

these were taken with my phone and was the best quality i could get. i know my nand-x wiring could be better, but it's not going to be permanent, and it reads and writes just fine.
