Front switch wont work, used to work till after i tried hotflashing.

I would send it to you to fix, but your all the way out in Australia... I'm kinda hard up for cash too, so i'm trying to do whatever is most cost efficient. You dont sound like your from out there, watcha doin out there anyways?

I figure if i send it to someone, the shipping alone is gonna offset the board cost, so might as well find out whats wrong and trade in the old crap for money.

Nah mate! Don't believe a word you hear about us aussies! We are human, we have 5 fingers, 1 head and occasionaly a sense of humour that others can understand

(We do ride kangaroos to work though, that one's true!)


Oh.. and don't get me wrong, at this point i wasn't hoping to repair the board for you. I was gonna keep it! Ha Ha!

o.k. j/k

 

[u170who]

What, no pouch? jk... i know, you people are nice. Can't understand a damn word you say though, lol. You dont ride kangaroos, do you? Sorry man, all i know about are the Asian and american cultures..im an ignorant American...lol

oh, i knew that, i wouldnt mind givin it to you either if i had the dough.. we'll see.

 

[Rookio]

LOL don't give it to me you idiot! who does that! i'm only kidding round!

(no we don't REALLY ride kangaroos!!) he he he

 

[u170who]

No seriously, if i am not gonna get more than $20 for it, i would rather just give it to someone who deserves it. The freakin shipping would cost me almost as much anyways.

 

[commodorex000]

wait, are you talking about the black wire??

did you do a wire mount install rather than a pin adapter install?

 

[commodorex000]

yeah, if you give up on that mobo I'll pay you to get my hands on it... Im trying to get parts to fix my motherboard.

But its NOT your motherboard. You can boot to MS Dash right?! That means your motherboard works.

Im telling you pull out that motherboard, resolder those connections CAREFULLY, make sure they are all in the right spot. Regardless if it worked before something changed and sometimes the slightest touches can ruin an installation especally one that was questionable to begin with.

 

[u170who]

Thanks commodore, but i resoldered whatever might have been iffy already. I did a pin install, and this motherboard was actually not done by me. im thinking its the chip. I'm trying to find a place i can buy the chip and test it, and if it dont work, i hope i can return it.

Hey guys, guess what ! i feel like a total dumass. I finally decided to redoe the solder on pins 9 and 15...and voila, after scraping off some gunk and resoldering...the lights all go on... Shoulda listend to the experienced guys. I guys the pro's solder wasnt so pro...lol. Wisdom before beauty!!! Thanks all that have helped, Rookio, Commodorx000 and of course Cohpaser. Yooz guyz is da sh*t!!

Now i just need help booting to backup or reflashing. I tried the quick press (how long is a quick press?) but it doesnt seem to work. I'm gonna try a boot disk.



chillin'

 

[Rookio]

Hey I'm glad to hear you got it goin!

A quick press is the shortest amount of time you can get. don't hold it in at all. To boot to backup press your power and eject buttons (yes, for cophasors benefit, push power "slightly" before you push eject - I think he's just being picky )

That should get you flashbios. You can follow the tutorials from there.

Cheers

A quick press: less than one second/a tap of the power button.

Backup: like rookio said.
