How can deal 0x000000 config if sorting the resistors fail

Hi guys, i made several mistakes when i was still learning how solder.
some wires bridged and caused severa consoles give me a 0x00000 config.

tried several methods 5v trick and sorting the resistor near the nand chip
but it all failed as i still get the same config.

i would love to work on these 8 consoles that have the issue and bring back some of my
money i spent by replacing consoles to customer and also learn on how to deal with it
in case i ever get a console with such a problem.

i have stock for all these consoles that have this problem.

first you have to figure out wich resistor/capasitor you burned. by checking them one by one. i had burned about 2-3 maybe more consoles myself when i was starting my solderings... coz of rush... and some of my working place is not a pc freak heaven... so anyway... i dont have burned board by myself to try to fix them... but if i had them id check for resistor/capasitor and prey that south bridge is not burned... or even get some tools for south bridge replacement.


so things to check are:
1. resistors
2. capasitors
3. south bridge
4.nand chip (maybe)

from the points where you put 5v on board and shorten...
again ... id be glad to help more ... but for now my knowledge is at this point.

is it a capacitor\resistor issue? that cause 0x00000 flash config
if so then which ones> the 10k resistor near the nand chip or its the chip its self.
south bridge is fine, i'm sure its fine.

can you post pics of the J2B1 5&6 points (green and blue wires) ,flash config 0x000000 is almost 100% of the time just down to bad soldering .

Bad soldering, damaged STBY_CLK, faulty SB, etc.. Can be multiple things. I wouldn't say 100% soldering by any means. His soldering looks good enough (or better to say that I've seen worse work) on the pic of the header that he posted so it's reasonable to assume that it's fine on the other as well but a pic would be very handy just to verify.

Agreed it could be numerous other things ,which is why I said ALMOST 100% of the time, the pics would help ,also OP never mentioned anything about actually writing to NAND or installing a glitch chip which is why I never said anything about STBY_CLK ,we wont know until more information is given or more detailed pics are attached.
