Retail NAND Not Booting/Reading

[iMoses]

Pulled the DemoN off. All QSBs are in-tact. I'm going to try a wires only install and see if that works. All points on the V1 QSB look pristine. Really have no clue what caused the issue.

If your meter is set to Ohms, then 0 would be continuity.

Which it was. Weird thing though. QSB is soldered in, but the Xbox will still not boot to retail. It has no power. Something has to be shorting, right?

With the QSB installed, it takes over console functions so it needs to have at least 5v and GND. Of course on power-on, the DemoN is active so if there's an issue here it won't boot either.

I meant only the Corona V1 QSB. DemoN is fully off.

Then I guess you'll be removing that next...

And problem solved. QSB shorted somewhere :/ I'll go ahead and throw on a new one and start from square one. Thanks for all your help martin and krafter!
