Trinity Motherboard
Coolrunner Rev C already installed and working.

Issues: Installed DemoN
1- Plug in USB to PC (drivers installed) J-runner/Windows 7(64-bit) cannot find DemoN
----(*DemoN was plugged in by micro USB and switched to PC and J-runner found it fine. Even updated firmware to 1.4)
----Switch was set back immediately to XB.
----(Cannot switch blue LED/Switch ON or OFF when plugged into PC.
----No Power. No Red Dot.

2- Can safely boot stock Nand
----Plugged in power (Blue light comes on) Push switch to NO BLUE Light and can boot retail nand.


Procedure Done:
-Xbox was already Glitched and running fine.
-Wrote stock nand to motherboard using nand-x (bought new one... Done 4 installs with it)
-Unplugged for 30sec.
-Turned switch to PRO and booted console fine. Disconnected 3.3 and booted fine.
-RE-Programmed Coolrunner. Checked box (DemoN installed)
-Re-installed 3.3 back to coolrunner
-Installed DemoN after updating (off the board) firmware. J-runner found it fine. Plugged and unplugged, also switched and toggled nand without problem.


This is when I attempted to plug usb into EXT USB Switch and PC sounded, but said USB Device not found....
Checked Device Manager and Error on USB, but no DemoN. Checked DemoN to ensure I didn't leave switch on PC (CHECK)
Looked over wiring (CHECK), Disconnected Power and set switch to PC and insterted USB...

WALLA... J-runner finds DemoN. Wrote Freeboot image to DemoN side.
Unplugged for 30sec... Booted console Blue light ON.. No fan spinning, no Red Dot.
Switched Blue light OFF... Booted Instanly to stock nand.

Tried:
Uninstalling drivers and plugging in USB to EXT USB switch, Found DemoN but says Error code 10, device cannot start.
Used all 6 ports on PC. Only way I can see DemoN and it works is to cut power on board and switch to PC and use Micro USB.

Pics included: Sorry if not greatest quality. Using Galaxy Note 2 full zoon


EDIT.... BTW The coolrunner light stays red as it wasn't touched, but does not blink green. Also, I just removed 5v power to the DemoN and was able to flash the the freeboot nand to the motherboard and it does glitch.


Suggestions?

Is your motherboard in the chassis with at least one screw in it to establish ground. I had this problem with mine and as soon as I put that one screw in the chassis the demon came alive and the pc was able to read it.

That's not the way ground works on the Xbox unless he soldered to the chassis.

pull out the multimeter and start checking solder points. try flashing demon nand with microusb on the actual demon, then see if it boots. the ribbon cable could just be bad. if it does, you can use xell to update nand image on demon, and sync switch to change nands.

So when the switch is set to XB, you cannot do anything with the console at all?
I can boot Stock nand, but PC (device manager, JR, DemoN Toolbox, can't detect DemoN. Also Xbox won't boot when Blue light ON (DemoN ON)

Negative Direct current is what you are refering to. On items above I believe 1.2A self grounding occurs to the device. If I soldered to the case that would be what you referring to....

Exactly What I meant.

That was was I did. Flashed the DemoN with micro USB with freeboot image after cutting power to Xbox and switching to PC on DemoN. Flash went fine in JR, no errors.

Thank You gentlemen for helping me....

Darkglide----Multimeter on and found 2 points (WP and one next to it seems bridged, possibly underneath.
Thanks again. Going in....

So you didn't so continuity checks beforehand?

DemoN installs are meant for people who are experienced in this stuff. If you don't even know the basics, take a step back.

My apologies. Martin I'm not trying to get on your bad side about me being pathetic and a newb and all that crap. I just wanted to go over steps for support in case I missed something. I did miss something, and thanks to you and the others responses it was it fixed. I will do better next time.
