Trinity install, need advice on retrace C5R11 or a local Chicago Pro

[tstack77]

Console Type: Trinity
Programmer Used: JRP v2.0
NAND Size: 16MB
Dashboard version: 17489
CB Version: 9188

While trying to diagnose why I wasn't getting the blinking green debug LED after writing the ecc on my first CR4 install, I accidentally pulled up the pad and 2mm of trace at C5R11.

I have looked around for a few instructables on a diy repair for the non-professional and I think I might be screwed from the little bits I've found. If it's beyond my ability I'm happy to have a professional fix my mistake, but am unsure if this repair is something that most local shops either would or could fix.

I really appreciate any advice

just use the alt point

From what I've gathered I need to fix this with a trinity (unlike a corona) since it's not an end point. I tried to bridge it to move on to the alternate but my soldering skills are not good enough to get the solder to stick to the board.

sorry , misread your post and am half asleep.

Thanks anyway for the attempt. I have called all my local repair shops and only one that said he could do it (after much explanation), but he said it would cost more than the 360 was worth. I was thinking this was a simple pay fix but it looks like I'm on my own here.

Has anyone had any experience using a conductive pen to fill in the trace and pads?

Or is there a method of soldering to get a jumper wire to actually stick to the pcb point/hole where the southern end of the C5R11 trace terminates into the board? (PIC BELOW)

Bingo, actually found a very colorful answer by changing my search string to "xbox 360 trace repair" instead of "C5R11 trace repair". Thank you ubergeek!

I'll post back after I break/burn something

Not the prettiest but the connections felt solid, ran into the same issue with the retail nand not booting. I think it would've been smoother if I had the correct tools (probably the most important being a damn microscope lol). Sending it off to a pro.

A good example of getting in over your head and making things worse. We've all done that, but some advice, next time you attempt a repair that you're unsure of, practice on something else first before you actually give it a go. It'll save you heart ache and $.
