Description of problem:
I did this console over a year ago. The owner updated the retail side and then tried to update the RGH side with Jrunner. The RGH side fails to power on. Only gets a "beep" and nothing happens. No fans or anything. He brought it to me. I re-did the soldering just in case. Also rebuilt a new RGH Nand from the retail nand. Placing the Retail Nand on the Demon and disabling the CR3 Lite boots just fine from Stock chip and Demon chip. Placing the RGH Nand on stock chip with the CR3 Lite on and reprogrammed without the Demon check box clicked boots the RGH image just fine. The problem is when I write the RGH Nand to the Demon (with the CR3 Lite reprogrammed to include the Demon box clicked) does not power on at all.

Its got to be my soldering right? I reseated the ribbon cables also. When I get off work, I will try a new set of ribbon cables. Tried searching the forum for a problem like mine (found some threads but their solutions were not my problem) and came up empty. I know I am forgetting something, but I am at work right now and cant look at it again until after midnight. So in the end:

RGH Nand on Demon = No power (CR3 Lite programmed with Demon box checked)
RGH Nand on stock chip = Working (CR3 Lite programmed without Demon box checked)
Retail Nand on stock chip = Working (CR3 Lite programmed with Demon box checked)
Retail Nand on Demon = Working (CR3 Lite power wire desoldered)

Was the console working before you started: Y

Do you get a green debug light appear on the RGH chip every 4-5 seconds: Yes without using Demon, No when RGH Nand is on Demon

Has the DemoN's NAND got any bad blocks?

Did you try erasing the DemoN's NAND before writing anything to it?

Post a J-Runner log showing glitch image creation please.

Nope, not that I remember. I'll have my girlfriend check.

I did not. Will do.

Had my girl copy an email it to me.

Worked on a little more but most of these are "desparation" attempts....

A. Tried using Xebuild instead of Jrunner to build Glitch Image (Didn't think it would change anything as the Jrunner RGH Image works on stock nand)

B. Erased Demon NAND and wrote RGH image using demon toolbox. Tried Xebuild image and Jrunner Image. Still Nothing.

C. Tried a Coolrunner (Again, Didn't think it would work as the CR3 Lite works) and nothing.

D. Also tried building the RGH Image using the current nanddump and the original nanddump. Neither showed bad blocks and the end result is still the same.

I guess I am stuck with taking the Demon off and trying a different one? I dont think its the Demon though as it tests fine with Demon Toolbox and it works fine with a Retail Image on it. I'll keep checking my soldering and looking for shorts.

On a side note, I was told today that the owner ran into this problem a few months ago, but two days later everything worked again with him doing nothing in between.
