Well I know its not solder on this one. Once I made sure it was booting properly, booted into dash, used xex menu disk and ran it. Powered down, glued all the wires down (mind you they were already tacked), then rebooted.

Worked. Coolrunner was completely secure, no way to move, wires or anything.

Booted 4 more times, played a game.

Soldered SATA and power up to run internal 1TB. Booted to dash, worked, didnt see hdd. So removed the sata and power wires, didnt want to mess with it, wanted to play.

Turned back on, it just sits there.

checklist
Made sure SATA and Power wire points were not bridging.
All coolrunner wires still in same spot, glued over the points and all the way down the wires. There is no way they moved or came loose.

I should mention that the green light is not lighting up, power is though.

CPU_RST is running on top, not bottom (no point to run it underneath.)

Using alternate HANA point.

I cant remember if green was there before or not. As it was doing this before and I honestly dont know how I fixed it, pressed power, did a face palm and heard my monitor power on, boom fixed.

So what is the issue? I have read others having the glitch work the abruptly stop working for whatever reason.

My background. I do all kinds of mods and jtag's rgh's ect. From internal hdd mods to lights, fan control, liquid cool, ect. I am well edumacated in the workings of the xbox 360, where to solder, where not to, reballing, you name it.

Just seems this is the second coolrunner I am installing and seems to be having problems like the first.

Any help is appreciated. Thinking of reflashing the coolrunner and FreeBOOT nand to see if that will work.

(For those of you who quoted on the last post I made, notice I said SECOND COOLRUNNER, not SECOND RGH)

all clues point towards the solder job for the HDD - it's odd it worked up unitll then, and then stopped - I know people always throw that one around "It's your soldering" lol - but it would be hndy to see pics of the install and SATA/power repair

Well like I said, I kinda sawed that board in half (I get frustrated and do crazy sh*t)

the one I am working on now is 'again' perfect but like a dumbass I forgot to update to current dash. But it is trying to boot, green light is flashing ect.

But it just wont. And flashing back original nand after -e16 yields no results just sits there with a green flashing light.

Also tried -e16 and leaving the nand erased and just flashed ecc, again just sits there.

Any ideas?

NEVER put hot glue or glue on your solder points, you can't see them and will probably screw up the solder point removing it. It's an all around bad idea.
