GENERAL Suddenly can't read NAND on Trinity...

It seems the point in the picture below isn't receiving any voltage. I believe its supposed to read ~1 volt at this point. All others points read fine.

I was dumping the NAND fine a few days ago and now it doesn't work. Trace is okay, there are no shorts that I can find or see.

There's no voltage coming from that point on the bottom of the board either. I have re-soldered every point and they still read fine apart from the one in the image.

Is there an alternate point?

You cant ready or write to the nand but your console still works?

Chances are your southbridge is going out. Are you having any troubles with the USB ports on it?

Nice clean soldering there. A little heavy on the solder but over all its a beautiful install.

Man, i'm seeing more and more Trinity with Southbridge issues.

In the last month, I needed to reflow one and reball one (Mine :) ). I've seen a few threads here lately that seems to be SB related.

Try a reflow on it, or send it to be reflowed (pref. reballed).

Yeah the console glitches absolute fine every time and no issues with the USB ports, they all work; tested 15 minutes of gameplay with a wired controller on each port.

Since dumping the NAND fine with the NAND-X I hadn't touched it. Apart from that I plugged in a faulty JRP with the speed upgrade, only thing I can think of that would have damaged it. All I get now is 'Version: 03 0x000000 Can not Continue' when trying to read or write the NAND, or even just getting the motherboard type.

And thanks for complimenting my soldering, I've run out of thin solder and only have bulky stuff right now, is why there's more than I'd usually apply.
