Ok so let me just fill you in on the history.

I soldered everything in fine with the default install using wires and then dumped nand and wrote Xell and everything.
The console would not boot and the debug light would light so I moved the CPU_RST coiled wires around and change the size of the coil etc but as I was doing I kinda got pissed cus it wasn't working, got heavy hand with it and... ripped off the pad. :facepalm: So I repaired that by soldering a peice of wire to a point under the board going to a point on top of the board(you will see it in my pics). Then I soldered the CPU_RST coiled wire to the point i soldered the other wire to on the bottom of the board. No luck again tryed moving the coil etc.
I then desoldered all the wires accept the repair wire and booted the console with the default nand it worked perfect again.

So I soldered it all in again and try again nothing. I then removed most most of wires and replaced them with Kynar wire. I think this had a positive effect as the debug light now lights every few seconds but still wont boot.

I used the latest JTAG Tool to dump compare and flash.

I am absolutely lost right now for the past two days Ive tryed all sorts different wires different length alternate points the POST QSB everything but so far the current set up has been the best one.

You can find pics of the current set-up here: http://xbox360content.com/RGH
All the pics there are of this set-up so check them all.

Here is also I video of the console trying to boot:

I cant find a edit button and noticed that I made a typo i wrote in the first paragraph that the debug would light I ment to write wouldn't. Sorry about that.

Yh I see what you mean in the pictures it looks burnt but I just to take a look and all I could really see that was there was some flux. I didnt really use that point very long and when I did I only really just poked the wire on with a tinned tip until it was down also the wire was tinned with 40% lead solder so it has a low melting point. Then i did the same to take it of so there hasnt really been much heat there at all.

Erm, is it just me or in all of your pics the STBY_CLK is not connected by the HANA or even on the Coolrunner....

That might have something to do with it. ;)

Looks like point b is going to an alternative.

.Looks like some of the standard points are messed up..He used alt points Try using multibuilder v7 to build your ecc again...and recheck your soldering, especially cpu rst...placement of that long looped wire too close to a coil like in your pic can casue it not to boot.

Ok,
-I already tried in phat mode, nothing.
-STBY_CLK is at a alt point and is connect to Coolrunner lul Im not quite that stupid.
-I built the ECC image in JTAG Tool.
-I was just looking for a tutorial on how to build an ECC image in 360 Multi tool, can you suggest one?
-I tryed on the under side no luck either, I just read putting it under the x-clamp helps to I will try that one.
-Only CPU_RST is messed up, like I said I kinda pulled it off lol. The STBY_CLK default point I didn't like so immediately used the alt point.

Ok I built it in 360 multi tool, nothing.
I tryed putting the coil under the CPU nothing. :'(

Is there anyone based in the UK that can just fix this problem and get it booting into Xell for me cheap.

Bit to far north for a drop in mate, I'm in Portsmouth. I'm sure there is someone in your neck of the woods. Try an ad in the trader section.

How would it cost If I posted it to you like just the motherboard, RF BOARD and the stuff soldered to it?
