ok heres my problem, i brought a slim off fleabay, it was a botched rgh attempt, the stdby chlk resistor and pad where gone, so ive sorted that out it now powers on but does not boot just sits there blinking the green power light, theres no nand dumps with the console, ive dumped the nand ok, do you think it could have the ecc image flashed thats why it wont boot? is their any way to tell?

This is a problem with second hand gear work backwards, get donor nand clean one make new nand ,flash , unistall coolrunner check boot . If all ok start over . It could be a bad install from previous owner . I got hold of one like this and stripped it back and started over then got it working like you redid soldering all worked out ok in the end

i dont have the nand or cpu key it wasnt listed as a failed rgh attempt, but now it powers on and i can read the nand their is no bad blocks, i think he flashed the ecc image to the nand then f**ked up installing the coolrunner, the post out is also gone, just gonna install a coolrunner see if it boots into xell.

remove all his work dump the nand and use multibuilder to make a retail image flash that to your console and see if it boots. If it dont boot start repairing any burnt pads etc
I would agree with this. Rework the whole thing just to make sure. If he used jtag tool he probably botched before he ever got the ecc written.
