Somehow I bet if I was to advertise anything I'd be nailed because I don't have a "VIP" banner. That was obviously removed intentionally. Maybe I'm just a little bitter about what happened or maybe I just know to well about the way things work. Notice frayed no longer has his banner anymore either.
I thought you changed it in your settings? Im on tapatalk so i cant see it now but when you put in "retirement ends soon" that changes the vip banner like frayed is "a**h**e" I dont think tapatalk will have a setting to put it back the standard veiw should.

If you have a soldering iron with a digital temp then set it to 320-340 C. Make sure it is clean and add a little flux to the tip. Flux the bridge and reflow the points. With any luck, you'll clear the bridge and the extra solder will transfer to the iron.
Hey took your advice on the temp range but still no nand read. Can i send my board to you? it seems you are closest to me. none of the pads are lifted.

Looks fine to me. Wires are a little long, maybe that's what John is seeing. If it's still not recognizing it then it's probably an in compatible SD reader.

I don't see any bridges. So what's wrong with it?

Nick. Measure continuity between the points John circled just to be sure.

when he goes to remove them wires I can see pads getting lifted and traces broken/ I would cut wires down clean use flux and u should have nice joints to them pads
Maybe but he did manage to remove the QSB without damage and that's 10 times harder to do then heat up the wires and remove one at a time.

Sigh......... 9 times out of 10 it's a reader issue. The length of the exposed wires has 0 to do with it. I've squad this before that my worst soldering is when I install my JRP wires. It doesn't matter what the hell it looks like as long as there is a solid connection. The only time that people start blaming exposure is when they have nothing else to suggest.

couple of wires look like they bridged to me or touching the others pad

And to eliminate that possibility he should measure continuity on the points you circled. I can see why you think that but I don't think it's an issue. I believe it's the lighting.

Suggesting someone to measure continuity is better than insulting them time Andrew time by telling them how bad it is when I and yourself has seen much worse. Be constructive and not destructive.

Krafter :) the reason I didnt measure continuity between points is because I didnt want to damage anything in the chip with backfeed. Is it ok to measure continuity between the nand solder points? If it is ok, Will I read anything else other than just a closed circuit if solder is not bridged? Thirdly, what kind of usb reader do you use? I use this one (pic included) dp.jpg. I have read in the forums that this one works well.

Yes it's safe to measure continuity. That's why I suggested it. You'll read it as a closed circuit if there is a short. Be it a beep, ~0 ohm reading or similar. Find out what your meter does first by touching the leads together. What ever happens then, that's what it will do when you measure on the console. And that's the exact same reader I use. Works great for me.

I measured continuity between solder points and they are all good. Are there any other steps that i can take to troubleshoot this problem?

Just my two cents. When you removed the qsb you still could have damaged the traces leading to the pads. I've seen this before. Even though the pad is intact the trace can disconnect. You can google corona 4gb pin out or similar to find out where the pads go and check for continuity between the pads and those locations.
