Heya, I pulled the PLL pad on my phat jasper while attempting to solder to it. I used lots of flux and even practiced the point on a broken RROD xenon mobo that I had lying around right before and got it first try. Let me tell you everything that has happened to it:
1. Tinned NAND pads
2. Tinned POST_OUT and soldered a wire to it (the other end was not hooked up to anything; I didn't have the glitch chip in yet)
3. Tinned CPU_PLL_BYPASS and then tried to solder to it and failed, lifting the pad
4. Tried booting the 360 and got RROD with secondary code 0022
5. read that the resistor right below the point might've been blow, so I desoldered it buuut then lost it because it's so small
6. Desoldered the resistor that you could remove without a problem unless you were gonna do a DEMON install buuut lost that too because it was so small (Jebus this sounds terrible)
7. Tried soldering a 10k 1/4 watt throughhole resistor directly to the resistor pad pad but couldn't get both legs onto the pad (I feel absolutely retarded, honestly. I should've just soldered kynar wire to the pads and had the other end of the kynar wire go to the resistor >_> No idea why I didn't think of doing that first) and then bumped the resistor by accident and off came one of the pads to it
8. put the motherboard away and just came to terms with the fact that it was unrecoverable; however, I saw that one guy fixed the CPU_PLL_BYPASS point even though both its pad and the resistor below its' pads were lifted/burnt off by somehow soldering to the top of the board's trace with a 10k throughole resistor to the CR or something. see here: http://team-xecuter.com/forums/threads/81047-Lifted-PLL-Resistor-Should-it-boot-with-ALT
9. soldered a rgh1.2 cpu_rst wire for practice for a unit I'm gonna rgh1.2 in about a week once I get it in
My question: I don't quite get what the OP of that thread did. I'm having a hard time visualizing what he did. In one post he says "Added 10k OHM in-line with RST and ALT PLL and she booted!" but in the last post, he says "Alternate PLL (TOP) to CR with missing resistor. Added 10k ohm resistor in-line from CR to PLL wire (green)." which seems to not match up with what he said about adding the 10k resistor in line with RST and the alt pll. Like, how would you solder the alternate pll point to the CR without a resistor and also add the resistor in-line from CR and PLL wire. Does he mean he soldered bare wire to the alt pll point and then on the end of the wire that connects to the CR, add the 10k resistor? Also, would fixing this fix my 0022? I've read that pll can cause 0022 but it can also be caused by blowing the gpu or cpu, but I don't see how anything I have done could have done that. In OP of that thread's case, he was getting 0001 which is a power issue. In my case, I'm getting 0022.
Some notes: I successfully rgh1'd a zephyr I had lying around after this and I JTAGed an xenon I had successfully as well. Also, I have not turned on the system with the pll resistor taken off. I believe the POST_OUT wire was still soldered onto the point (but it wasn't connected to anything; still no glitch chip in) when I turned it on the first time and got 0022 but it did the same when I desoldered it anyway. Also also, the jasper was completely functional before attempting this with absolutely no sign of anything wrong. The drive was flashed with an old version of iXtreme when I bought it and it was never opened since.
