I was afraid of that and and was going to tell you to leave it for someone else to do it seeing how many times you couldn't get it work.

I personally don't know of any alternative points but if there are someone else on here might be able to point them out but I really doubt it.

We know by now that your Mrs/wife/or girlfriend has taken your camera to Poland, but for god sake get a decent camera and take some close up high resolution pictures. Maybe someone here can fix what you messed.

their is a post around that i made with alt j2d2 points but i will tell you they are 1/8 the size of the actual pin header

Picture is too blurry even a blind man would complain about it :D. As for using conductive silver paint to repair it only if you can trace it to the track printed on PCB and seeing how you managed to screw the original points I wouldn't even suggest you attempt anything like this (you'll end up killing your console) at least now worst case you can't jtag it but you can still use it.

Thanks Xmods, these sure can come in handy. Got a Zephyr board that is in pretty bad shape, certainly worth trying these points on it.

i just woke up 1 morning and realised i could do it. ;)

on a serious note though, the point is if people **** up the original points then theyve really got no chance of soldering to the alt points. its not always the case but the majority of the time people need to be told to give it to a pro before they destroy a perfectly good 360.

i can still dump my original nand so all is not lost yet ;)
iv learnt so much from doing this so far with soldering and parts to the xenon motherboard. Hey we all hav to start some where and i aint no pusssy who just gives up.

ok this is a pic of with a real camera :p iv bought the maplin conductive pen and fixed the J2D" points . well i hope i have. Verddict please ?

Also hooked up the diodes under the console because ther are still copper on that side .
and on top i remarked the J2D2 holes and made sure there is no clashing with them

e79 :(

I dont get it, i can read the nand perfect no bad blocks atall.I can go thourgh the whole flash process- no problems. placing orig.bin- no problems, fully working again. but installing the flashed xbr.bin = e79.

iv check the solder and yeah i screwed it a bit but iv replaced the burnt J2D2 connections and they look just fine.
Switching diodes im using. could this be the random xenon e79 board ?

Which Switching Diodes are you using ?
 
Why don't you try the old JTAG wiring method for Xenon? Instead of using the switching diodes, use 330ohm resistors. Who knows, they may work out for you ;)
