the magic file thread was just for all the impatient ones who couldn't wait, jrunner has long since been updated so there is no need to use the files manually. can you clean up the spots where it looks like solder and post a new picture please.
You said the green light on the cr4 stays lit?

Also check that ground like l2000 said please

I stopped even getting a green light now, so i switched to a cpu_rst alternative point, and still same thing. maybe it's my post out? when i put the adapter there it doesn't lay completely flat. seems to lay on top of some small chip outside the heatsink range, so maybe the solder point and wire is pressing against the heatsink? could that cause issues?

Dude there is flux and drops of solder everywhere as far as I can see CLEAN IT UP. Maybe then you will find the problem.

THIS could be your problem though

got rid of that in the picture, still nothing. as for the flux, i'll go get some Alcohol wipes. didn't know flux could cause an issue like this

idk if it can but it is a LOT of flux and the longer you leave it the harder it is to get off. but the board needs a good cleaning to make sure there are no more of those little pieces of solder shorting anything.

Rewrite Original Nand, Disable chip. Does console boot?

just tried. console boots up perfectly without the chip. i have a strong feeling that it has to do something with the post out? if that could cause it? i think the solder is pressing against the heatsink causing interference? has anyone heard of that?

Sorry I missed one of your posts last night. Yes absolutely the postfix adapter could be causing your problem especially if it is not sitting flat on the board. You need to take off the heat sink and remove the post fix adapter and scrape the trace that is coming from under the xcgpu and put some flux on it and tin it with solder then use that as your post-out point. You need to trim some of the wires conductors especially cpu-rst, there is way to much wire exposed there and I would go ahead and put the blue wir back on c5r11 original CPU_RST. If you are not getting the green debug like light or it is acting erratically then it is for sure going to be post_out.

Solder Post_out here.

well i have that post fix adapter which i was told by many that it would work with trinity. if i covered the exposed wire from the heat sink with electrical tape or something think that would work? id rather try everything else before going that other route, just because that point is so small and i don't want to mess that up

okay, i found the issue. these points were not fully connected and came undone. probably because this board doesn't lay flat



so my question is can i cut this part out of the board without completely ruining the postout1? that way the board will lay flat? there's an onboard chip right underneath that




so i got it trying to glitch. turned it on for a few seconds without the heatsink and it was glitching but did about 6 times then i turned off the console. ripped the cpu_rst original point out when my x-clamp slipped. got it connected to the alt point and after i got the heatsink back on it won't glitch again

Send the console to a pro to get it repaired. You are causing more damga then it is worth. Even if you peeled up the whole trace that I told you to use the console would still work and you would still be able to use the postfix adapter. Apparently you aren't getting a good connection with the adapter so why not scrape a little varnish off and solder a wire to the trace instead of hacking up the postfix and causing more problems. There is a guide somewhere here on repairing the cpu-rst point on trinity motherboards. I don't really feel like explaining it so just Google it. "Fix CPU_RST slim trinity" you will have to make jumper wire from a resistor to the pad where you are now soldering cpu-rst in order to reconnect the the trace.

NEVER turn the console on without the heatsink at least sitting on the xcgpu, that is a big no-no
