demon alt points

[buttwad]

Having got issues with my demon on my corona v3, I have checked all the QSB points I can see, but some are underneath the demon. I dont particularly want to remove the demon so does anyone know any alt points for the points on the QSB?

points are

WP, CLE, CE, RE, ALE and WE
then I can run new cables to the top of the demon chip, thus elimination poor solder connections

cheers guys

Post pics please.

Attached is a pic of a demon QSB. I have soldered one of these onto my v3 board, modified to allow for the cap.
Where the points are with red arrows is hidden under the demon chip, points I can only check if I remove my demon, which I dont really want to do. What I want is to find alt points for the red arrow points and solder directly to the corresponding yellow point. As stated I have continuity checked all the other QSB points from the resistors up to where it goes onto the demon chip, no shorts and all fine.

Hope this makes sense

I know what the QSB looks like.

Post a pic of your soldering as requested.

Ok

This is why I asked for pics. If your soldering is this bad, you've probably damaged/shorted something on the QSB. It would have been better to test for continuity on the Corona QSB before soldering the DemoN to it. Then again, that's what an installer would do if they wanted to ensure things were soldered correctly before moving on.

Send to a pro installer to fix ASAP. If you want this to work, you're not the person to finish this. The advice on the card which came with the DemoN should have been read and not discarded.

I'm in the UK - send it to me and for £40 plus return delivery, I'll fix it for you.

Sorted now, got the demon to read the xbox nand, managed to create the ecc file, flashed stock nand to the demon, but demon wont boot, just goes red light and the fan spins fast. Stock boots fine. Need to get cpu key is my next task.

Task for tomorrow I think, as well as trawling all the forums to find why the demon wont boot.

Am too stubborn to give up!!!
Cheers chap anyway

Your next task should be getting the stock NAND to boot from the Demon. If you can't get that then getting your keys is useless. In fact you would have to flash the ECC to the onboard NAND and glitch that which defeats the purpose of the Demon.

Edit: did you edit your post while I was replying lol? I could have swear I read something totally different.

Nice one mate, like I said the stock nand is flashed on the demon, but red lights and spins the fan too fast.
Sure I saw something somewhere about that same issue....a hunting it here I go!!

And no, didn't edit whilst you were responding

Your soldering is not good. As stated before, send it to a pro installer before you ruin the board.

Since those photos were taken, I have removed the demon chip, removed and replaced the QSB, I checked every single solder point for continuity BEFORE I re-installed the demon chip. Every single one was then rechecked just to make sure. Then re-installed the demon chip again, checking continuity of each solder joint as I did it. Then I managed to dump the xbox stock nand which I failed to do before hand. I then flashed the stock nand to the demon chip, no issues or errors, booted the xbox to stock, no issues, tried to boot to the demon and it failed. Red light and spinning fan. Have dumped the nand off the demon chip and compared to the stock nand and they are the same, so the demon def has the stock nand on it. Thats kinda where I am now.
