[Trinity] Not booting retail neither glitch on CR4

[MTWallet]

Also, do you have something bridged between pins 4 and 5 of the RF board connector, or is that just lint? This is next to where the brown wire was soldered for the DemoN on the bottom of the board.

I'll check also the pins 4, 5 in about 1 hour, but I didn't touch that area, probably it is a glue part or something...

 

[MTWallet]

It is a better option to clean up that connection and soldering up directly to the resistor? Or should I use the alternative point FT3N2?

I don't think I would try directly to the resistor, but cleaning it up probably wouldn't hurt, seems like a pretty fat ball of solder on there.

I rechecked once again all soldering points. Unfortunately no progress, some state (identical one as previous described) .
@BrockThunderjam: Where CE pads gets soldered to the demon, point is not lifted, i resoldered that point. It is not damaged. I resoldered also the points from J2C3 with too much solder. Now all points are clean.
@MTWallet: I cleaned the tip of QSB where the R1 is (C3B10-R3B15) - there was no bridge for sure. I resoldered the tip together with points from the pad (R3B15). Also, I checked the pins 4 and 5 of the RF board and there was some glue / dust.. I cleaned up also this part.
I also reinstalled the Xclamp kit.

Sorry, nothing else comes to mind other than to post all the information requested in this http://team-xecuter.com/forums/showthread.php?148057-TEMPLATE-HOW-TO-ASK-FOR-CR4-HELP thread and hope other more experience folks ring in.

 

[tavishor]

ok, thank you anyway for your time.
Basically all information for help is already posted. If more info needed, please tell me.

When you are writing your retail image are you desoldering the 5V wire from the CR4? Also, you say glitch mode and retail mode, you dont have the demon installed anymore do you? I assume you mean you're just writing your retail nand and ecc with the JRP.

 

[tavishor]

No, should I do that?

 

[BrockThunderjam]

Yes you have to. The CR4 doesnt know you are trying to boot retail. That's the reason you have the CR_EN pad for demon use. The demon sends a signal to the CR4 to turn it off when in retail mode.

 

[tavishor]

ok, I'll do it in 2 min.. and after that boot it with +5v resoldered or not?

If you are booting retail, remove the 5V wire. If you are wanting to try to glitch again, write your ecc and solder the 5V wire back.

Removing the post bit jumper will also disable the cr4.

Didn't know that. Thanks.

I've done this, write retail without 5V wire, boot it and same result.. central led light after 4 seconds (and no outer ring led lighted)

So you press power, the console beeps and the fan spins up and you get the red dot after 4 seconds correct? What is the secondary error code now that you've disabled the CR4? Has it changed?

 

[tavishor]

yes, it's correct, console beeps, fans spins (quietly) and I got red dot only in center after 4 seconds. the secondary error code is the same - 0100 (4 leds blinking, 1 led, upper left linking, 4 leds blinking, 4 leds blinking)

 

[BrockThunderjam]

Try putting pressure on the top of the heat sync and booting and then do the same to the southbridge. Are you sure the xclamp is properly installed? And are you sure you didn't write the ecc to the nand and then read it again (overwriting your original nand dump).

 

[tavishor]

Well, Damnn.....i found the issue....checking once again the xclamp installation I found that on one leg I perforated the board and 2 traces are broken.

[tavishor]

Ugly one
I didn't found the end of yellow trace, but I temporary soldered to the trails (vertical ones in the right) to check if the console boots, and yes, it is booting retail...

Any hints how to better repair it?
