[Resolved]Phat Alt Point for STBY CLK

*Problem solved, edited to be short and to the point for people reading and needing the same outcome.*

C3B2 missing trace, pad missing, etc. Resistor to the right replaced with 33Ohm 0.6w resistor. Needed alternate connection, found and is shown in picture depicted a few replies down that I wrote. Thanks to those who replied Was a big help.

I took a look at that earlier and the only STBYCLK alt shown was just following the trace back to the pad, that trace and pad are unusable in it's current state unfortunately. =( Thnx for the reply

**After going back to that page I saw another picture showing the FT2R2 point. Not sure if I overlooked or the picture didn't load before. Luckily I already found a different point on the front of the board.**

He should have spent the extra 5 bucks and got the QSB's, they would have saved him SO much trouble...

OHH yeah, that's what I used on all of my xboxes and they worked great. Except my nandx was a pain to get going -.- I blame my pc more than anything for that though.

Don't know if I would endorse that. The STBY_CLK point with the QSB is easy to do but even easier to screw up if the person soldering doesn't prep the point first!

I didn't have too much problem with it, I didn't trust the joint because the QSB pulled a little on it so i went back with a small wire and ran a wire from the pad to the qsb to make sure it stays connected then glued it I still can't find an alt point :S would help if i was an engineer and knew where that trace would be headed to from there instead of wishful prodding.

I think I found one. Can anyone more knowledgeable confirm?

**EDIT** I took the plunge and tried it, was a brick anyway. It worked, confirmed on my word and I know that means a lot to everyone
