RGH Falcon Black screen aft. power cycle

[jordorm]

So..

I've read all the forums and such, but haven't really found a (completely) similar situation.

I followed FiB3R's guide to the point, except for using the most recent version of 360 Multi Builder v0.7, instead of w/e version he was using.

All went well and without a hitch or a bad block, and after being told the image had been written, and to turn off my console, I did so.

Now, the guide instructed me to plug in the HD, DVD, etc. after having the power out for 30 secs.. I forgot all about reconnecting the HD and DVD, and just turnd it on.

This gave me a black screen, no matter if i turn it on with the power button or eject.

Coolrunner flashes green every 5th sec or so.. Nothing else happens (I let it run for a few minutes like that).

Now I'm inclined to think it might be a sh*tty soldering.. Can this be so? Even tho I was able to boot into Xell and write the image to the NAND?

Should I maybe try reprogram the coolrunner? Do I just hook the cable to the NAND-X and repeat the last steps, or do I have to 'clear' my NAND first?


Thanks in advance to anyone who might know ;X

Reprogramming the coolrunner is not the issue and not having your drives plugged in is also not an issue.
By design freeboot can run without a DVD drive.
I would chalk it up to bad wiring. If the coolrunner is just continuing to blink green the glitch is not happening.

Which version of Mulit builder did you use? If the CoolRunner is flashing every 5 seconds then mostly soldering points are ok.

Check variables such as CPU key used for creating the freeboot image.

I figured it out.

I was in the middle of posting that I found a bad soldering, as my laptop BSOD'd on me.. Furthermore it kept me from booting into windows, so yeah.. Sry bout the delayed edit guys, I appreciate the help alot

Bottom line: I was an ass when I soldered the GREEN wire.. I guess booting into Xell and installing the image was still possible with this wire being totally off.

Thx again for the replies, and sry bout my bad luck when trying to update my post!
