destroyed r4b24 resistor and pulled up the trace

[lonix]

Hi, as the title said I'm pretty sure I have destroyed my falcon is there any hope of repairing this from underneath? Or is it junk?

Thing is, I had it working but the wire I was using got yanked a bit hard and ripped up the trace

 

[Rock]

I doubt that and dude please get someone else to do ur RGH/Jtag cause u dont have a clue on what your doing

 

[lonix]

yeah no s###

Thanks anyway.

By the look of your pic yes it is repairable but you really need some one who knows what there doing as this xbox is not going to take anymore error before it ends up in the bin.....there seems to be a small amount of trace left to the right before it gos under the chip also there looks to be a small part of the eyelet on the left so bit of luck you can get someone to do this for you ...shame to see so many ppl ripping the crap outa there 360 trying to rgh

what kind of resistor would need to be put between those points?

 

[RROD!]

33 ohm ...

 

[gargoyle67]

You can't have used flux on that.

 

[morbidj]

Wow that is awful! I hate to state the obvious, but honestly this is the worst botched attempt at RGH I have seen or here yet.... Send to a pro...

By looks of things it can be repaired, but we are talking about surface mount resistors and they are extremely awkward to do.

I suggest putting a thread in the request for services for someone to repair and finish.

You can use a standard size 33ohms resistor from the hana side trace to the part after where the original resistor was

You don't need to use a surface-mount resistor if you don't want, if you manage to find some trace just use a through-hole resistor to the same value.
And don't worry about botching it, not a single person on here who is actually "experienced" can honestly say they've never made a mess of something or tried something above their skill set, the important thing is to learn from it.
At the end of the day it's only your console broke, nobody got hurt.

Why are you even asking?

Just get someone else to fix it. If they do console repairs, they will know what's needed.

Good point.... I am so used to using Surface mount resistors and LED's i forget normal ones....

And yes my first xbox (not 360) got f'ed... lol :eek2:

That is repairable, I've fixed ones with similar damage, but not quite as bad, however as said, DO NOT attempt the repair yourself unless you don't mind killing the console in the process. If you want a working console then pay someone to fix it and go practice your soldering on an already dead 360 motherboard off eBay (cost about £5-10).

Is that how you started Martin, getting other people to do it for you? I know you're good, and very knowledgeable, but there is only one way you got there, practice and dedication.

 

[gargoyle67]

@demonic69, That's true but it's also not for everyone, That's like saying everyone can paint\draw good, Unfortunately some ppl just don't have the aptitude\common sense to structure their thoughts\ability and bring that focus to the job. As proved by the amount of botched jobs.

 

[RROD!]

Yer I'd use a thru hole resistor from one point to other then solder the b point wire to the alt point as said by the others but I know a few guys said have a go your self which is ok if you don't mind if you shag the Xbox is fine but by your post you are looking to save the console ..by the looks of has been errors more than once ? The repair will be much harder to do then the original rgh mod point ? So now you are at the point save or just give it a go your self and risk it?

 

[lonix]

Well everyone I tried fixing it for the last time, managed to solder onto those points and plugged it in, was feeling confident then I heard some fizzing. So I unplugged it quickly, in all honesty I think its dead now

oh well I used the board for some practice

Ill get over it, now I've got an excuse to buy a slim

 

[brett1]

mate i've fried a few learning to reflow boards mate lol

 

[aarongdl]

Isnt the alternate point ft2r2? replace the resistor and install it there.
