Hi there,
I did my third RGH today and thought everything was going well.
Unfortunately I made the big mistake of not testing the console before I started so i'm now in a bit of a predicament - when i'd finished the install I powered up the console and immediately got RROD (Error 0022).
Of course the question now is - Is the RROD a result of my soldering skills or has it just gone because the mobo has been disturbed?
I've removed the RGH for now and inspected all the solder points with a magnifying glass. I can't see any massive problems, although it looks like the PLL_BYPASS pad to which I soldered may have lifted. I'm not quite sure why this has happened as i'm always very very careful with this point as it's easy to bridge the connections either side. I've done 2 previously with absolutel no problems.
So - the million dollar question - if i've managed to lift the pad would that give me the symptoms i've got? And if so is the only course of action to try the alternate point?
Might be an interesting project as i've never done that before.
Cheers
Jonesy
