I have a question.

I like to read Nand using NAND-X QSB Slim /NAND-X and NANDPro.

I have following
1) NAND-X connected to laptop using USB and other part is connected with 3 connector to QSB
2) NAND-X QSB Slim PCB
3) NANDPro Software
4) Driver for NAND-X is installed correct in WINDOW 7 Laptop.
5) Power on for XBOX Slim.

I have attached the image from other post and circled the point. Do I have to solder red circled point before I can read Nand ?. This point I have not connect coolrunner to QSB since I want to make sure I can read nand first.

I did not solder anything. I just stick glued provided paper in bottom of the QSB to line up with Motherboard. I am in impression that if I line up the QSB with correct point, I should able to read Nand without soldering anything. Am I wrong ?. If I have to solder it, what are the exact point on Motherboard I have to solder it ?

I am getting error "Looking for USB interface device, Cannot continue" when I try to read nand using Nand-X.

you will need to solder the point to the mobo.

qsb=quick solder board.

the exact points on mobo,are what you circled in the pic..

It's not correct - you don't need to solder ANY of the CR to read/write the NAND.

OP - does your console still boot?

Seriously? You have to solder this on.


Or solder the nand-x cables on as an alternative.

 

[x360ccm]

i no you dont need to solder the cr.

i was under the impression he was on about the qsb not needing to be solder in.

Yes, but I thought QSB (quick solder board) really means to solder CoolRunner with QSB for quick Solder not to connect to Motherboard with QSB. I see on top and bottom of the QSB solder attached which can stick on the mother board and I should able to read.

 

[Rich007]

The sticky pads are to keep them in place, whilst you solder. QSB does not equal "no solder boards".

You'll need to solder the QSB boards down, or solder the wires required for NAND-x, there is no option for rgh without soldering.

That is what exactly I thought. QSB comes with stickly glue paper on bottom to stick on the Motherboard to exact connecting potint so it can touch to right point.
I beleive same applies to CoolRunner as well. If I understood correctly, all I have to solder is CoolRunner wires to QSB and Motherboard. Unfortunately I did not see anywhere mentioned that you do not have to solder QSB or Coolrunner on Motherboard.

I have removed the front switch to remove Motherboard so I can get access to back of the motherboard for later for cool Runner soldering.
So I do not know how can I test wether it boots or not.

Is there anyway I can test boot without connecting everything back ?

Sorry, I misread as I couldn't believe something as obvious as this was being asked!

You need to solder the QSB points if you want to read/write to the NAND.

Those little silvery points on the QSB? They are connected to the sockets. If you don't solder them, how are the two going to communicate?

I had to scratch my head and contemplate if he was really asking that question =P

If you haven't soldered anything, you likely haven't broken anything. Disregard the post questioning if you can still boot, you should still be able to no problem.

With the motherboard out, you can still plug the front switch board back in, and plug the power cable in. It'll still boot like normal, and doesn't have to be in the case. The case just provides support and protection for the components.

If you not comfortable in soldering, I suggest you let somebody who can solder do it

I second that. Trying this on as a first soldering attempt is a potentially expensive way to learn how difficult soldering can be with the wrong equipment or bad technique.

That confirms that I have to solder the points on QSB Slim beofore I can read Nand. Next question is what are those point which should be soldered on QSB Slim ?. I am seeing mix soldered point on diff. thread.

eg. on below thread image, I do not see all the silvered point soldered.

I have attached my image from my QSB Slim where RED circled solder point shows match with above link. Yellow circled seems to be a solder point but not in the above link is soldered. BLUE circled not sure if that should be soldered as well or not.

Can someone point me out which point should be soldered and which should not be.

 

[lordofthering]

Sorry..I forgto to attach image..

Here is the attachement for QSB image

 

[Martin C]

You solder where there are silver pads. So not the yellow one.

Thanks for warning. I will practice on my old computer motherboard before touching to real one.

If I am not confortable, how will I able to get someone to solder mine ?. Can you recommend someone in NJ ?
