RGH Falcon wont boot to xell

[jmiko58]

Hey, today i just got a Falcon mobo from a customer who "Attempted" the RGH...

So here's my problem,
-He lost his orig nand dump (not sure how people do this lol)
-He tore the CPU_PLL_BYPASS, so i did the same alt method that i have done on four other consoles that worked perfect for them.
-Console will not boot at all, and worst part is i have no origanal nand dump to start over with or cpu key to build a new one with

Where should i start guys? this is the first console out of the huge amount that ive RGH and jtagged thats like this...hope the pics are okay, let me know if you need more or better ones!

The console tries to glitch, fans make there sound, cool runner flashes every 6 seconds, i've tried hdmi, vga, and component, dvd drive plugged in and unplugged, so now im 90% sure its the nand thats the problem, the kid tried to build in multibuilder...

Here's some pics,

Whilst I don't think the issue is soldering, without the NAND to prove it either way you could be in for a long slog.

If you didn't have the original NAND, where did the ECC come from?

Try ensuring the CPU_PLL_BYPASS wire runs along the length of the heatsinks. Any repairs I've done using the topside point have needed this to be the case.

 

[jmiko58]

The ecc was apparently created by jrunner by the kid that gave me the console, i just emailed him asking for more info on what happened and his story was that he dumped the nand on a pc that had deep freeze installed and he accidentally shut it off without thinking lol, so ya im pretty sure that the ecc exists because if i try to create another with jrunner it gives me the "could not create ecc" error but who knows, and the CPU_PLL_BYPASS wire was across the heat sinks but i just though id give this a try when it didn't glitch that way

 

[Martin C]

It still might be a CPU_PLL_BYPASS wiring issue. I fix the trace from the via itself on the underside then solder it topside. The wire you have running from bottom to top may be picking up interference.

 

[jmiko58]

nothing still...does exact same thing still
Also just for the heck of it i just tried a new coolrunner, re-soldering every point on the board and now im out of idea's because without the orig nand dump it just seems impossible to diagnose other possible problems
heres the pics if my small repair...

 

[jmiko58]

Woooooohooooo!!
Look at this pic lol...

Looks like my young customer soldered to the wrong point! im not sure how i missed that but w/e

Thanks for all the support Martin!

 

[Martin C]

I always miss these

Glad you spotted it though!

 

[x360ccm]

now there is a shock.matin you never miss a thing lol.even the best miss little things lmao

 

[retrotek]

Martin C i learned too many things from your posts.They help lot.
Thanks man.

 

[jmiko58]

well, just ran into another problem!
So i've been seaching for hours but im having trouble creating my new glitch nand from the dump that i made after finally getting the console to boot to xell, heres my log

Is that my problem?

 

[GamingRepairs]

Connect nandx and read nand. There are tuts on alt points on this site.

 

[jmiko58]

Did you read the posts? I got the console booting great but can't create the NAND image read the log I posted if you can help

Going to need a donor and leave it a rgh box. Or if you have a valid kv you can inject it into a donor nand.

No idea what you've done here. I'm assuming J-Runner wasn't used at the start.

You will need a donor NAND and then build from there, but I think you knew that already.

 

[jmiko58]

Ya the kid said he used Multi builder... Well thanks for all the help guys! just finished making my donor NAND now all is good! Console boots and runs flawless,

man it's getting annoying, this is the 3rd console this week that someone has brought to me after an "attempted rgh" but whatever I love repairing them haha
