On the cpu_rst point I pulled the pad out. I have soldered a decent amount and am not that bad at it, but this time I fed up badly. I found the alt cpu_rst points and well I broke both pads on the resistor. So does anyone know where there is a trace I can cut to be able to fix this? Thanks.
I failed. i have a question.

I've never lifted a pad (and I'm not the greatest at soldering by any means)... how do you guys keep doing this?
I decided to trace back the board myself, I must have been majorly tired when I did this, because I ripped out the wire going to the cpu. If I fix this I will have to take the cpu off the xbox and solder a wire to it. Wish me luck.

Well I got it to work. Took some time to do it correctly, but I still don't understand how I messed up before. Doesn't matter its all good now.
Just for the sake of completeness, can you upload pictures of how you fixed it? Just so if anyone else makes the same mistake they will at least have a little guidance.
