Description of problem:
No debug LED on R-Jtag

Was the console working before you started: Y

Howzit all. So as you can see above, i have a problem :D. This is my first R-jtag, and have immediately run into an issue, so any assistance will be greatly appreciated.
I have read nand, compared, created ecc, written ecc. No problems there. After installation of the R-jtag chip however, i dont get a debug led when powering on, to get xell.
I have searched a few posts, but havent found anything regarding no debug on R-jtag.
Also, this is not a faulty console, somebody had attempted R-jtag by the looks of things, cos R8C2 resistor is gone, and trace has been repaired. Tested continuity and all is ok.
Stock nand boots.
Praying its just something simple and stupid im missing, and apologizing beforehand if it is :)
Thanks
PS: If better/more pics are needed, pls shout

Did you try the bottom side cpu_rst shown in the tut?

Have you already checked all 8 POST_OUT pads for good resistance?

Remove the ribbon cable and check each pad against GND. Set you MM limit to 200k. obviously no PSU should be needed here.

It's not CPU_RST related. debug light on R-JTAG is driven from POST_OUT.

I'm led to believe it should work on 3.3v anyway.

If there's still nothing after it's moved to 5v, please check the POST_OUT resistance.
i know a cr3 pro wont dbg if on 3.3 volt,rjtag is not much diff no?

@ CHUCKEMZ

Awesome Catch. Looks like that was it.

Post_Out resistances vary from 144k to 154k ohms

Now to get it to glitch. No Xell after 10 pulses. Will mess around a bit. Board not brilliant, getting rrod now and then, need to fix it into the cage to get rid off rrod :(

Don't have jr-programmer yet.
Also, quick Q. I selected jtag / rjtag in jrunner. I'm guessing I should have chosen aud_clamp as well. Cos I'm now getting rrod after 30 seconds trying to glitch.
And I obviously have it setup for aud_clamp.
Just want to be sure.
Re-created ecc with the above options selected, but can only test tomorrow.
Thanks again to all

Dammit. No go. Rrod after about 32 seconds. Flashed stock nand back, no problems. Re-created the "jasper_hack_aud_clamp.bin" and wrote back. Still nothing. Attempts to glitch like it should, and after 30 seconds, rrod.
