Hi everyone, major fan of TX, have done a few RGH's without a problem (reading threads and tutorials all the time), tried to install corona 4gb QSB using a 25w soldering iron. The R/W kit wasn't being recognised, so I tried to reflow the solder points and with minimal attention to each point, the pads lifted.

Now I have read a couple of threads stating to use a fibreglass scratch pen to expose the trace, I just want to know if it's the same type of fix for a corona v2 4gb, as the NAND is under U1D1. Is there anything I can do to rebuild the pads? Just need some suggestions, any help would be greatly appreciated

Wow, that was the worst damage I I ever seen in that area. I think you should send it for repair. If you're in Sweden or close to Sweden I I will happily fix this for you cheap.

Yeah I wish I was somewhere near Sweden or UK or US...I'm in Austraila and I haven't seen too many people offering RGH/Jtag services over here.

I messaged a few guys on here looking for a quote...everyone that seems capable of helping lives overseas...but I found a guy in QLD that's having a go at it as we speak. He's sent me a picture of what he's done so far...What you reckon...buy another one? (Slim E)

I managed to do this with a 20w soldering iron...the QSB was not being detected by JRunner, so I lightly went over the soldering points again...with flux applied and the soldering iron sucked up the solder on each point...so I waited about a minute and then applied more flux...and tried to solder each point again. This time the QSB lifted a little bit...and each pad was attached to it when it moved. I then tried again after a minute but the pads lifted and were attached to the QSB, not the motherboard.

It wasn't like I held the soldering iron on each point for long periods of time, I reckon I applied it for just over a second. I was extremely unlucky in my opinion.

heres a great tip for removing things like this. get some wax or parchment paper (same things). rip a lil piece off,and heat each point,and slide wax paper under it.rinse and repeat with each point till its removed :)

Doubt he fixed it. He messaged me asking for a quote. I think I scared him because I haven't heard but but hell, shipping alone would have been $80 one way.
