Hi,
I have tried to do the RGH, however very unsuccessfully. I feel embarrassed right now but let it be a lesson:facepalm:. So here it goes. I used the quick solder board to connect the nand x and coolrunner, and managed to boot to Xell and dash afterwards. Nonetheless, I could not get the console to boot every time as sometimes I could only hear a beep and nothing else:rolleyes2:. Only the red light would stay on the coolrunner. I tried to resolder the stby_clk because it seemed to me that this point was causing the problem but I ripped the pad on the qsb while doing that. Then I decided to do it by wires, desoldered the qsb, which took me ages as I was trying to solder for the first time, and soldered the wires except for the stby_clk as I could not get any solder to stick to it. The pads looked burned, so I tried to repair it by soldering to the trace and the left hand side of the resistor. I could get a wire soldered to the trace and the resistor but the connection to the resistor was not good. By trying to make it better I messed it up, and now I have a ripped resistor:rolleyes2:. I messed up pretty bad and do not know if it can be repaired. Maybe I damaged something more while desoldering the qsb but most likely the stby_clk is the problem. It seems to be that the only pad that is not burned is on the right hand side of the resistor. Is there anybody who can help? I can get pictures but only low quality thus I do not know if those pictures would be any help. I am from Lithuania but willing to send it to the UK as I do not really know who could attempt to fix it locally. By the way, sorry for my English.

. I have got the track and the resistor fixed by a local guy. However, when I unplug the power cord from the socket and plug it back again it will not glitch for the first time I try to power it. The fan starts spinning at max rpm and the red light blinks for some time. The second time it boots but shows the warning about self shutdown due to ventilation. All other times are fine. So, before I assemble it back again, should this be happening or something is wrong? Thank You all for your answers
