no grn light CR, again

[josh1095]

ok followed tut exactly. got 2 identical nand dumps. had err 250 at block 256. ran this through 360 flash tool to check bad blocks and from what ive read if theyre higher than 0x0050 or something, theyre ok.
so after writitng trinity xsvf to coolrunner, creating the ecc and flashing that via nand x.
everything looks fine so far.
plug it in, cr in normal mode, slim setting, just red led and a pulsing fan and blinking green light on console. the ONLY solder point i question is the hana on the qsb. the resistor didnt pop or burn but i dont know if the contact was made or i burned a trace right underneath it.
any suggestions?
i also looped the blue wire and tucked it underneath the clamp on the underside.
im tired as hell and am going to bed soon, F it

edit
when in program mode on the CR, the fan doesnt pulse. i checked my wiring, and im not positive, obviously, but i cant see any place where the 3v is shorting. im sure im one among thousands whose making/made the identical mistake.

alright, ONE more thing b4 bed, just flashed stock nanddump.bin back to it, left the cr in prg mode(no led) and it booted up just fine, so my nand dump was good to begin with obviously. its the CR thats f**kin me up, i also tried writing the xsvf files to cr in normal and prg mode, same thing, pulsing fan and flashing console center led. no grn on CR.

Could you post pics of all solder connection, closeup if you can, it's really the only way we can help

 

[josh1095]

the only point is the hana and i cant get a good pic of that. lets say i screwed that up, would the console still boot and work with orig nand? would i have been able to get the nand dump correctly? since there are no schematics and im unsure of the theory, im just trying to pinpoint the problem.
tonight i desolder the qsb and find out whats going on, anyone know of a link to a pic where exactly the qsb goes near the hana? is it supposed to go to the resistor or is it a seperate pad?

The program mode is only when you want to flash or update your nand.
It will cut the voltage of the CR, so it would not work when you turn on the Xbox.

For sure check your solder.

if the green light is blinking and your orig nand boots and you have changed nothing but that i would think it was how you made your ecc try all the tool out there i use mutil bulider 4 for most consoles and it works

 

[josh1095]

the only blinking green light is the CONSOLE center led, no green at all from coolrunner, not a blip. i made the ecc with v3 multibuilder, maybe ill try v4.

i can solder well but spent most of yesterday chasing round this very issue and it was the orange wire point to the ana chip not connected well enough. it even gave a reading on the multimeter but the connection must have been weak as after re doing it several times i finally got the bugger on well and she booted right up. its almost certain to be a connection somewhere mate and on my experience i'd start with that STBY-CLK then the green PLL-BYPASS next

 

[keith6625]

if the CR is programed and the nand is flashed i would say its the solider check it over again and try again

 

[josh1095]

garage: should i read continuity between CR point B and the resistor that leads directly to the hana? if someone can tell me, that would help quite a bit. im going to get a solder sucker, wick, flux, very thin wire, and remove the qsb in a bit. as long as my office doesnt call me out for service!! fingers crossed. i will update

 

[garageinc]

yes mate put the red test probe on the pad you connect the orange wire to and your black test probe to the right hand side(closest side to the anachip) of the cap adjacent. just follow the trace to be sure your in the right spot. thanks to teajunkie for sharing with me how to test this point properly.

if your removing a qsb i prefer to use a piece of muti strand wire around the same gauge as the qsb point and jam it in the point while heting to act like desolder braid. i find braid sticks easier and can remove a pad on the qsb

 

[josh1095]

no damage was done! i carefully removed and clipped that piece of the qsb off and cleaned the area up. im going to solder directly to the point. the qsb just makes it more difficult.

scroll down to the alternate ana point, i want to use that instead, it would be far easier to access. is this ok?

 

[josh1095]

im guessing the trace must be busted near the ana chip. im at a loss. and thats really strange cuz like i said, if i flash my stock dump back to it, it boots fine. i looped the blue wire exactly as shown and placed, i did notice when i disconnected the blue wire while it was running the fan stopped pulsing. any chance the CR xsvf files didnt go on correctly? it said it was successful but the nandx to CR cable foundmy sent me was smashed bad..

think im ready for a craigslist pro lol, and what sucks is i solder alot for work, this is much smaller but ive got a good eye and steady hands.
possibly my CR is no good? weird sh*t, gentlemen, very weird...

 

[josh1095]

well, i should know what went wrong tomorrow morning. i dropped everything off to a guy who has done 360 work for me in the past. another 100 bucks... its ok, i got a huge raise today lol. so i paid 150 for the slim/kinect bundle on black friday, spent 70 on glitching stuff(roughly) and now another 100. wow.....

btw, after trying alternate cpu rst, checking all traces, and unsoldering/resldering the qsb i couldnt even get my original nanddump to write correctly. i think the second time around on the qsb i shorted a lead or something. i get error 202 writing block 256. before it was eror 250 block 256 which is acceptable. after loading nanddump this time it wouldnt boot, solid red center light on the console. uh oh, thats when i called chris and said im dropping a brand new slim off, fix it!!
he has extra coolrunners so ill finally know if mine was just bad out of the box. its a possibility. he checked all my CR soldering and approved, said it was very good. i will update this tomorrow with a working system i hope. really hope i didnt blow up the mobo, thatd kind of suck lol. i will never use a qsb again, that i can say with certainty.

 

[josh1095]

said i would update: here goes, bad news. guy could not fix it. said he doesnt know why it didnt work in the first place. ive got an expensive brick here. so how much is a brand new liteon dg-16d4s worth lol

i just get a red light on boot up now. if i flash .ecc and hook up CR the center led flashes green but no grn light on CR, no xell. he even tried a nand dump from another trinity he had and it had the same outcome. tried a new CR, same story. ive got a falcon that has a flasshed drive but im getting leary of messing with this rgh. might let things develop another month or so then take another crack at it.
