my coolrunner is installed, but the green light doesnt go on (glitching) when switched to SLIM, only when it is switched to PHAT (the console is a SLIM), also the boot times are very erratic, seems to be always 90-120 seconds to boot, i tried different lengths for the blue wire, and nothing changed.
Slim Slow Boot Times
- Thread starter Mthodmn101
- Start date
i have changed the blue wire position and length a bunch of times (tight, loose, position of the wire), and no change in boot timing

still taking a long time to boot up, i soldered the 3.3v to avoid the blue and yelow
would the addition of a capacitor make the boot times any better? I have seen it help some people with BB Jasper but havent heard anything about Slims

What different lengths of the blue wire have you tried? I've had about 4 slims all which had 1min+ boot time, after shortening it to about 30-40cm, its been consistent at 10-20s.
I haven't used the QSBs yet - while they are supposed to help with the glitch - I'm not sure that they will make THAT much of a difference - direct wiring seems to be ok- ave you tried some unsulating tape under the blue wire?
can i ask if you have anything plugged into the usb slot when u power up
seems to my my jasper 16mb hang for a few extra seconds

my 16mb Jasper doesn't seem to be affected by USB being plugged in or not, but good question for the OP
when testing boot times, tried with external attached and also not. Does not seem to make a difference
anyone get better boot times by adding caps or anything else? i have tried resoldering the wires and changing blue wire length, repositioning, tape, no tape, tight coil, loose coil, wire all over the place
damn this slim
damn this slim
i think we have success, desoldered the blue wire and sorta coiled it under the x clamp and i have gotten 6 consecutive good boots (less than 30 secs each)... MUCH better than before
damn, that blue wire is finicky

I did a trinity last night - couldn't get it to glitch - had to rebuild ecc with bestpig - used the slim QSB and coiled the pre-cut blue wire a per the diagram - I get boot times now under 5 seconds consisitantly with 1 in 20 being around 25 seconds - no caps used
