Every thing seems fine all points are fine, the only different thing is at first I tried a single shielded cable and it didn't glitch but coolrunner green light was flashing.

I removed the shielded cable and placed the blue cable cut to 32 cm and tried with it to boot to Xell but the green light was not flashing.

At a certain point (I cant remember if it was with shielded or blue wire) when I switched the console off the fan was spinning very fast then stopped.

I removed coolrunner connections and flashed original NAND and it gave me red light!!!!! :facepalm:

Any help. i am pulling my hair on this

Now I removed the Coolrunner double checked solder points rechecked the original NAND with X-NAND healer and rewritten it.

I still get a solid red light at center and secondary error code is 0032

This console is driving me crazy

I even added some of Arctic silver 5 thermal compound and baked it for 5 min.

all didn't work... any help will be greatly appreciated

Have you compared your nand dumps? Are their any bad blocks?

edit: Nevermind, just saw second set of pictures.

Looks like you nicked the board pretty badly underneath the xclamp. What's the secondary error code?

You baked it ...why?

It's clearly obvious the problem isn't with the CPU/GPU and is completely the fault of your handiwork. Baking it does nothing but further deteriorate the BGA connections under the chip.

I would be sending this to someone to fix.

I know it's irrelevant, but I was desperate and everything else looks fine. So I followed the steps like the RROD repair kit I just turned on the console and disconnected the fans for 5 min.

Unfortunately, there is no one in my area who can fix it. If you tell me what I could do I will be able to do it.

Thanks

I think I know which part you are talking about, but it has no traces on it, so I don't know why it could be a problem.

On image 4, it looks like you have slightly broken some of the traces
Could you please tell me where I can't find any broken trace

Thanks

By the FRB52. It looks like you only exposed the traces but it's worth testing if you've exhausted other options.

FT4R2 looks damaged. Check it for continuity with the alt point under the X-Clamp.
Actually this is the first thing I suspected why it appears white is because I etched it and tinned it.

However, The problem was not between FT4R2 and Alt point it had lost continuity with the resistor on the other side.

I think the single shielded cable I used applied heavy stress on the point and it was cut from within the board.

I fixed it using the method I did at the end of this thread:

I didn't say to check between alt point and FT4R2. You needed to check the via was intact, so the top point is where I was indicating you to go. I won't hold people's hands doing this as if you repair electronics, you don't need to be told where to look ;)

Glad you sorted it.

Thanks to you and all the great people in this forum I learned many things here.

Actually When I first joined this site I had never touched a solder iron in my life. I saw a video here about how to solder correctly, I bought the tools started training on old electronics.

Know thank's to the help I get here and for the products of TX I have a part time business repairing and Flashing/RGH consoles

And my background is B.Sc in Chemistry, it's not electronics but we learned how to use logic and reasoning.
