Trinity, RGH2, Rev. C, Will not attempt to glitch.

[Solved] Trinity, RGH2, Rev. C, Will not attempt to glitch.

So I got everything installed, Went to turn it on and it wouldn't boot. So I several of the jumper settings, CPU Reset cleaner, and cpu_rst points. I was eventually able to get it to boot with the following settings.
No CPU reset Cleaner
Jumper one closed
Jumper two 2 and 3 Closed
Jumper three Open
29 on the post QSB (No other length would work)

After about 3 - 5 mins (was not paying close attention) it Booted to Xell grabbed the CPU Key and installed XEXmenu, Then it would not attempt to Glitch anymore. So I tried more combinations of settings to try and get it to boot/glitch. With no luck I flashed the original NAND and booted fine. So I re-flashed the NAND Tried the previous settings again, would not glitch at all, Tried more settings and even alt points just for the sake of trying. I did use my multi-meter to test the solder points with its alts and they seemed fine (from one point on the Rev. C and the other on an alt point while soldered to the original points). I spent 8-10 hours last night trouble shooting and looking at similar scenarios and gave up and went to bed. I attempted again this morning for about 2 hours and decided to post here for help/suggestions. How ever I haven't attempted the CPU reset cleaner this morning. But I'm lost at this point. :crazy:


Conclusion
NAND reads/write fine
In J-Runner
Version: 10
Flash Config: 0x00023010

At any point I can flash the original NAND and it will boot fine.

Soldering seems fine (to me at least).

I Have not attempted anything with the post out, as I remember reading somewhere not to touch that or something along them lines.

Any help would be appreciated.


Just to add, its a genuine chip, bought from modchipcentral.com and the Rev. C is programmed. :tongue:

Ditch the shielded cable and go with the standed blue wire and see if that helps. Try different lengths and routing.

 

[joezilla903]

No luck, tried the full length wire with variations on placing the wire. used 8, 6, and 4 inch wires (different wires so I can retry each length) on 50, 41, and 29. Yet it still will not attempt to glitch.

 

[jligg]

You said its not attempting to glitch. Are you getting the debug light every couple seconds?

 

[joezilla903]

Are you referring to the green light that supposed flash every 5 sec? Then no.

 

[john mathews]

then its the coolrunner not programed or check soldering pull out multimeter and check points

Try the blue wire like Krafter suggested. Check your post (yellow) and cpu rst (blue) wires. Make sure the qsb points are soldered well check for continuity etc. Try diffent pads (lengths) on the qsb

 

[joezilla903]

From one end of the multi-meter touching the cool runner D point to 29 on the qsb, I get a clear beep while touching the alt point C5R11

From C on the coolrunner to the C on top of the board I get 812? (exposed the trace to test under the cpu fan). I'm guessing that's not right?

Thanks For the suggestion turns out 2 and 3 post out out points was connected at the bottom of the QSB.

Thanks for the help/suggestions its very much appreciated.

So its booting now?
