Hi guys, I've had a look around and can't find my exact problem anywhere so I'll explain...
Just finished fitting a coolrunner (rev A) to a Falcon board. Exerything went as usual, using Jrunner to do all the software side of things and no problems or errors.
Flashed the ecc and got the CPU key from Xell using the Get CPU Key function from Jrunner and all went fine again with no errors. However, when I try and boot after flashing the glitched 14719 dash the coolrunner will flash green once and then nothing happens.
Normally I would think soldering points but i've checked over and everything is strong. Also Xell boots perfectly everytime when I press eject. It boots 100% of the time on the first green flash.
This would lead me to believe that the coolrunner is installed correctly as it glitches into Xell perfectly 100% on the first gitch. The same seems to happen when booting normally, but of course it does not actually get to loading the dashboard. It would seem as though it is glitching but then the next step is not working.
I have also tried reflashing the retail nand and it does not boot either with the coolrunner attached (not sure if it actually should).
When I disconnect the 3v3 point to disable the coolrunner it boots to the retail NAND just fine.
Any ideas?

Ok forget it. Went over the 3 points on the underside again (tried twice already and they were rock solid) and it boots perfectly now.
Moral of the story, if a solder point looks good to the naked eye and feels strong. Doesn't necessarily mean it IS good.
