FALCON RGH2+ Freezes

[Orangeprofessor]

There's a ghost in the machine, that's for sure. Still not a good idea to have ALL the dips ON tho lol, could be preventing a solution to the overall problem. Any freezing problems I've had with Falcons stems from R4B24 (STBY_CLK), I always use the underside point C4N27 to make sure to have a solid joint rather than nudging the resistor @R4B24 and having problems later on. I think he said he was fine on the retail/stock side on his 2nd to last post, at any rate I hope he figures this out...Good Luck!

The dips that I had on were the "Center Value" dips shown in the RGH2+ guide for phat consoles.

play some games on it as retail for a bit and make sure it dont do anything it shouldnt,and if it dont freeze or anything like that on retail,we know its not a hardware issue,but something to do with the rgh.

So I used the console for about 30 mins and I got a 0111. How serious is this?

If a reflow/reball is what I need, then i'm going to go with WNYConsoles since he's closer to me. Thanks for all the help

EDIT: gonna try the RJTAG+. Wish me luck, please.

I had endless problems with the RGH2 on the falcon. I switched to the R-Jtag method without qsb (used my own diodes) and it works flawlessly now.
