I got rrod on my big block Jasper while following rgh tut for noobs. got some bad blocks during read but well after 2000. So I thought I was ok. Then got rrod after write ECC. After searching posts and chcking solders I confirmed bad solder at STBY_CLK on QSB. Fixed. Just wanted to be sure where to go from here. Should I retry boot with eject button for Xell reloaded or do I need to take steps backwards. Any help would be much appreciated
found bad qsb solder at STBY_CLK. where to now?
- Thread starter papabear1245
- Start date
If you repaired the bad solder then xell should now boot as you have already flashed the EEC.
Thanks. Just for clarification, I only got the rrod after the 'write ECC' step of the rgh tutorial. I was just wondering if the bad STBY_CLK soldering could have caused any problems with the nand dump or the ecc write.
RROD is gone, but coolrunner only flashes green once or twice then regular dash boots up. From what I've read I'm gonna try rewriting the ECC

Thanks for responding. I work in a few hours and not sure where my digital camera is. I think Im gonna wait till tomorrow when Im less frustrated and have more time. Im gonna re-check my soldering again, find my camera, then post the pics. Thanks again for the help. Ill attack this bastard hopefully tomorrow. Stay tuned

best thing is post pics as it is now.
then see what the pros spot.
befor you touch it again tbh.
a second pair of eyes sometimes spot things you cant.coz you stressed with it.
it dose happen.

Again, thanks. Dgenx's thought to post before I do anything else makes sense. As soon as I find my cam I'll post the pics.
Not sure if anyone is still paying attention but here I go...
Couldn't find a camera, so I removed QSBs all together and just wired directly to motherboard so I could see each solder clearly. They all look good(but I'm still trying to find a camera). Coolrunner green light flashing consistently, but still no video. Also, if I remove power from Coolrunner, system will not boot to dash. Any help would be much appreciated.

Have you tried an alternate video output, i.e. if your using HDMI, use the composite. or vice versa.
And why did you remove the QSB, when in an earlier post you stated that dashboard was once again working, even though xell wasn't
What are you using to create the ECC? If it JTAG tool, use multibuilder instead

I removed the QSBs because I wanted a better look at the solder points which seems to be the biggest problem from what I've been reading. Also, I used Jtag tool to create the ECC. Trying multibuilder now...

A two page thread and even though you've been asked to supply pics, you've yet to do it.
We CANNOT help unless we can see what you've done already.

Cool! Most of us do recommend Multi_builder for this stuff for a VERY good reason.
Not sure why people still insist on using jtag tool. Looks like even coolshrimp has given up on it as it still doesn't handle the new dash. Take a lesson papabear at least for the minute stick with multibuilder.
for the same reason why people ask for help without posting pics
Sorry about the pics(or lack thereof). I have flashed several dvd drives, but this was my first attempt at anything JTAG related. Thanks again for your help. Next time I'll procure a digital camera before posting any help questions. Thanks again.
If anyone is still listening..
Any ideas why system gets no power at all after removing coolrunner?
