TX Product(s) used:CR Rev C
Console Type: Trinity
NAND size: 16
Dashboard version: 16547
CB version:9231

Description of problem:Sooo guys, I had this system running playing games but every now and then it would freeze well a few days after freezing I disassembled and I saw the cpu_rst (white wire) had slight part of the rubber case melted and showing the first shield of wires so I decided to replace it, green wire had a single wire not soldered so I also replaced it as well... Ok so I changed the wire and made a new white wire just shy of 1/4 inch longer than a bought one, the switch was normally on slim when it was working, but after the resolder it did not want to even turn the first green light turn on. So I touched up the tiny points of kynar wire but to no avail it still didn't get the light on. I then flipped switch to phat now the light does turn on but no signs of booting up after a few attempts?

Y did it change from slim to phat after resolder?
Do I need to reprogram chip?
Can I reprogram with power and ground soldered just need to flip switch to prgm?

Was the console working before you started: Y factory AND RGH2

Do you get a green debug light appear on the RGH chip every 4-5 seconds: Y

How long is the light on for each time:5 secs

reprogram coolrunner for sure.
forget shielded wire and use slim blue wire around Xclamp .
did you check for boot on original nanddump ?

Darn really the white wire, I just changed it..? Well since it cud be wire shud i still try reprogramming the cr chip? Will blue wire get spliced into the kynar points c5r11 & r4d4 as well as wrapped around x clamp? Sorry for noob questions just had always used white wire before this with no problems.

Do u recommend shortening white wire at all in this situation? I can shorten from the spliced side if needed :)

Or just go with blue?

Thnx in advance for the info guys appreciate it

No i have not tried factory nand to check boot up, I'm going to try blue wire wrapped around xclamp and spliced into kynar r4d4-c5r11. Hope this helps :)

I will reprogram chip as well see if that helps, i keep reading that there are different timing files i believe they were called and that using a different one cud help solve this. How does one choose which timing file is written?

bridge 1&2 on coolrunner and remove jp on the coolrunner as well/as stated use blue wire that comes in slim package u could wrap around xclamps or roll it up underneath where sb is

remove completely shielded cable and use blue wire from r4b4 -------> around X-Clamp -------> D point on coolrunner .
i always use 2-3 & jp bridge on rev.C and boot time is under 30 sec .
for program CR :
on j-runner select RGH2.0
then flash coolrunner
then select trinity
and then program CR

I'm going to knock out this noob question... Does the 0 resistor in both 2-3 and jp count as them being bridged or do I need to bridge with solder?

going to try this right now...but instead of r4b4 i assume u meant r4d4...???

I had white spliced into kynar r4d4-c5r11 due to the ft4r2 being pulled idk if this blue straight from r4d4 to chip will work, then again I'm new at this so just my thought pls lmk what u guys think :)

are the 0 marked resistors and my solder bridge the same thing? in case me switching to 1-2 and removing jp doesnt help i can rebridge with solder or do those resistors actually do something? again I'M getting newb ?'s out the door on my first post so if u must clown on me a lil lol

Whatever it takes to get this system running again!!!

can you take close up ( macro mode ) picture from CPU_RST area?

bridge : 0 ohm resistor
