Hello all. I have a emergency with my Corona v1. And the story goes... I had pre-soldered the points to where they have to go (my CR4 and JR-Programmer havent arrived yet :p), and everything turned out fine. no bad things hopefully have not happend yet. so, i went up to take a shower and left the board with power. i came back down to a red light that stayed on for about 30 seconds, then went off. EVERYTHING shut off. i heard the hard drive click off. (i did not have the DVD drive plugged in because on the cable that goes to the drive, there is a pink and blue side. wasnt sure if the pink went on the left or right, so i left it unplugged.) so, after that i immediately unplugged it, and it shut off. then i unplugged everything from the board, and put the hdd and the wifi card back in place. this time, i had the hdd, the wifi card and the hdmi plugged in. i plugged the psu in, and it booted with all four of the lights go into the array they would retail. i got the xbox360 intro, then it shut off and the light turned red...? wtf happend? also, when i have the dvd drive plugged in, all i get is the start sound when i press the on button. PLEASE, help me!


------UPDATE-----

now when i plug the hdd, wifi and unplug the fan, plugin the HDMI, i get no lights, or anything on my monitor. it just makes the sounds.

um well something happend. it booted. i played a little James Bond Golden Eye (a classic lol) then it just shut off and the PSU turned red. I tried plugging it back in, pressing the on button, the green light came on for a split second, then turned off and the PSU turned red. i will try what you said for me to do - "Oh, my bad, you have to push and mantain sync, and them to push four times eject, with sync pushed all the time"
