Images of close-up soldering to motherboard (attach images to your post):





Detailed Description of the Problem: So I've installed a CR4 XL into a Corona v1 board set to RGH2+. However after the install, the CR4 board does not seem to glitch at all and only shows that it is getting power. The console on the other hand, powers up (no video though) so I presume there is nothing wrong with the motherboard. I've used one of the alt cpu_rst points instead of the recommended one since i don''t have access to good quality thermal paste at the moment. Also, if it helps, I've installed the CR4 after reading the NAND and writing the RGH2+ ECC that came with Jrunner. Please help. TIA


Was the console working before you started: Yes
Do you get a green debug light appear on the CR4 XL chip every 4-5 seconds: No

Yep, 16Mb NAND, 250HDD, Manufacture Date: 2011-8-16

Unfortunately, ordering paste isn't an option. Would be months before i can get my hands on some.

you can remove the fan and heat sinc with out re-pasting That area never has problems
put the blue wire in the default location use caution when removing the Xclamp d0 not scratch the motherboard

Made the wires too short, so lifted off the C5R11 point entirely :/ Guess I'm stuck with that alt point for the time being.

Any other solutions? I tried the FT3T10 point too, and still no dice

Update: I just noted something odd with the ECC file. It seems that every time I try to flash the ECC for Corona 16MB CR4, an ECC of Trinity with CB 9188 is getting flashed instead. I've used the ECC files from "common" folder that came with Jrunner.

Next thing re-install the stock nand don'[t create anything or select any buttons just hit write nand

Figured out the original problem with a bit of help. It seems this issue was a lifted alt cpu_rst (the FT3T10 point got lifter). And as expected, RROD with 0032 on stock dash. Gotta have the point rebuilt I guess.

Any idea about the closest bridge point for rebuilding FT3T10 other than going topside?
