I have a Demon installed on my Slim Trinity MOBO. It has been installed since i bought it out of the first batch shipped. Everything thing worked out beautifully for both my stock NAND for XBL on the Console and the RGH2 NAND on the demon. Now all of the sudden i tried to boot RGH2 and it just beeps at me and does nothing. I programmed the demon with a stock nand and nothing. Used 360 multibuilder instead of J-Runner and nothing. I reseated the ribbon cables and still nothing. My Xbox does not move. My Console boots fine with my stock dash for XBL. Anybody experiencing this too??

Ok, here are pics as requested. Sorry took so long. I also tested continuity between all of my points soldered and between my ribbon cables after i reseated them. I also switched out the CR from rev A to rev C and still nothin. I can read and write the demon nand and flash the CR no problem. However when i try to read the xbox nand it gives me the error FF not found. Occassionally it will also casue JR to crash. Also when switching nands using JR it will sometimes automatically switch back to demon nand. Also my error light goes on when i boot stock nand, yet everything still works fine. Like i said i've had this installed since first batch was shipped and dont see how this problem could suddenly arrive and it just now happens to b my work that is at fault. :confused:

The fact you can't read/write to the consoles NAND tells me there's a solder issue somewhere.

Check all points for continuity against the NAND itself.

Well, after finally getting a free day to diagnose what was going on, I removed the QSBs, then installed wires only. Checked continuity on every soldered point again and it still wasnt working right. So I finally decided instead of removing the Demon and reinstalling to just touch up a couple solder points with some flux to ensure they were hitting the points correctly. And all I have to say is Thanks Martin C!! I touched up just my WE, WP, ALE, CLE, and RE points everything worked beautifully again. Although Im still baffled that this all seemed to happen out of the blue after it worked so well and on my first go at it!?!?!?

Glad you got it working. What we stress to people is good soldering will still work after weeks/months/years of use. Badly soldered points/joints will deteriorate due to oxidation.
