could not detect a flash controller

[sherlock]

hey guy's

i installed the nand-x qsb's and got to read my nand 1 time and when i tried to read it again i got the error, could not detect a flash controller so i thought it must be my soldering so i removed them and installed the pin headers instead, but i still got the same error so i decided to remove the pin headers and try again but on removing the pin headers the small barrels on the points you solder to came away with the pins, the xbox still works fine. what would you guys recommend as i don't think i can fix this myself, any takers...?

forgot to say it's a xenon motherboard.

If you have got a spare NAND-X connector, you could try soldering directly to the board from beneath.

Also you might want to do a multimeter reading between GND and brown/black/red/orange points and see if you are getting a cross reading.

yeh i got spare connectors, first time doing a jtag so quit a noob at it..lol, i'll do a search for the other points to solder to underneath.


also the points J2B1 and J1D2, i think are not usable as the copper has gone from both sides, i think i will pass this to someone with more experience.

I'm also getting the could not detect a flash controller error but have never been able to read the nand.So thought it could be my soldering, I have resoldered three times and still getting the error as far as I can see I've not damaged any traces on the board. Some of the copper pads are slightly burnt. I used the ends of some diodes and pushed them through the holes then tacked the wires to them. I've tried soldering the wires directly to the board and same error again. Maybe I need to use alternate points? I've also tried using 2 different PC's.I can post pictures if needed. Before anybody asks yes I do have the PSU connected with the xbox powered off and the ROL connected. If anybody can enlighten the situation asap it would be greatly appreciated.
