I have here a clients Falcon 360. I have done lots of slims and phats and had never this problem before.

The coolrunner doesn't seem to try to glitch as the debug led never blinks...

I have checked my wiring multiple times, and have resoldered them on like 3 times... I tried another coolrunner and reflashing it with a jtag cable instead of my nandx.... Jrunner found everything fine, and built the .ecc fine multiple times as well. I tryed reflashing stock and it booted fine.

I just can't seem to get this thing to glitch.

Below I have posted pics and I hope it was something silly lol :facepalm:

Edit: No luck with HDMI either

Here is an extra pic


BTW: I have looked at all the point under a microscope and all seem fine with no bridges or shorts....

I notice the console switch is set to SLIM, was this for testing purposes?

Also, what's the CB version of this console?

CB: 5771, should be fine

Switch hasn't made a difference

Can you re-program your CoolRunner using J-Runner (or NandPro) and paste the log here please.
Sure

The only other suggestion I have left is to try moving the wires around (away from the coils under-side).
Damn, I already tried that, even used the alternate CPU_RST...

I'm assuming when you write the original 50 blocks back it boots ok?

CPU_PLL_BYPASS is normally the culprit, so double-check this wire.
Yes, stock Nand works fine.. The CPU_PLL isnt bridged or touching anything.. anything else I can do?

Have you checked soldering with a multimeter? Are you sure the coolrunners were programmed correctly?

This might be a long shot... but...

Are you sure that coolrunner isn't a clone??? It looks suspect to me.
I bought them both from Xconsoles so no.

Have you checked soldering with a multimeter? Are you sure the coolrunners were programmed correctly?
They have been programmed via nandx in jrunner and impact via Jtag cable

It also may be a long shot but you could just take everything off the board and completely restart from scratch???

Other than that and what has already been said im not sure...
I will try to redo it with new cable..

Are you absolutely certain that this is a Falcon console and not a Zephyr?
Yes, The power supply is a falcon port and nand is falcon too
