Description of problem:

I bought this corona v1 board in this state, when i try to turn on, its only beeping once, but doesn't turn on. Reportedly someone tried to install rgh in it, but he flashed a bad file to the nand. I tried to read and write with Nanad-x and with J-runner programmer, but no success, only get this message:
Version: 03
Flash Config:0x00000000
Can not Continue

After i didn't find any scratched component or damaged trace on the motherboard, i tried to look for a bad nand flash recovery solution, and read many thread how can i take my nand to bad flash mode, but i can't found any useful thing for slim corona motherboard, only for phat consoles.

Please help me if you can!

My readings (based on Martin's nand-x troubleshooter thread) :

1: 2.47v
2: 3,32v
3: 2,92v
4: 0v; 42,7 ohms
5: 0v
6. 0v (1,13 Kohm)

Was the console working before you started: No

Yes i', m sure, its Corona V1 ( Have 16mb nand, post out, and r2c10 on its place). I already read this thread what i show me, but i can't found that components on my corona. That motherboard in thread is a trinity. And the xbox-scene forum links are all dead.

Welcome to the world of buying faulty consoles.

Good luck in getting it fixed. Personally I'd replace the southbridge as a start, since your SPI readings indicate it's faulty.

Thank you for answering! So the bad nand file flashing is impossible to cause of this readings on spi? Because the 1,13 Kohm on 6 ? If i reballing the southbridge its enough, or i have to ordering a new one and completly replace it?
