ugh.. 3 red lights no xell, help?

If I remove this top qsb and disconnect the cr4, should the Xbox run stock? (If its not broke, i never touched its nand, just to read)

Did you wrote ecc to nand? If no you can't boot xell without ecc written in nand. If yes, you need to flash your dump back to nand.

ECC is irrelevant right now. It won't even power on right now.

So I did write fw to the demon, then I wrote nand then ecc. Fw was written before install per tut on PC switch. I switched to Xbox, installed, then wrote band and ecc through front piece. THEN I rewrote everything fw, nand and ecc all through front. Xbox switch and all this writing was done in jrunner through demon mode..

when plugged in I got nothing no matter in Xbox mode or demon

 

[jaynvck]

I never wrote anything to Xbox(retail) nand

 

[jaynvck]

ok, I removed the v3 qsb successfully, removed the cr4. left the demon as is.

plugged in, switched the demon to xbox (retail) nand mode, and still nothing. no lights nothing, push the button and it does nothing.

do I have to screw in the board to the chassi and plug in the dvd player for the box to run? I didn't think so..?

what does this mean?

I took pics, and the resistor actually looks ok, ?

 

[Krafter]

Measure continuity between the points I circled. I think I see a broken trace.

 

[jaynvck]

could this, at this point be an issue with the demon? would I be able to still read/write as normal without the v3 qsb or cr4, would it be anything that writing orig nand to retail or the demon help? Im fishing...

so there is continuity between those points, I even follow the trace back to its hole its good. this resistor is giving me 24.8 ohms..

Not suggesting you do this but if it was me, I'd now remove the Demon. If you do decide to do that then be extremely careful and take your time. If you lift any of the pads, then your looking at soldering directly to the NAND on the reinstall which is very difficult to do without proper experience.

alright, ill work on it.. gotta try getting it off there anyways if I cant use the box... and I cant use it now..

 

[jaynvck]

so demon removal was a success! removed all wiring and put the box back together and it starts and runs fine.

whew. soo... any ideas where/what the issue might have been? It would have had to be in the demon wiring/soldering? because it was the only thing left on the machine keeping it from running.?

how should I proceed? is there a test to make sure things are functional before I attempt an install again?

and would it be easier to do the install on a 16mb Jasper with new dash instead of the bb Jasper 512mb I just uninstallled it from?
I have both, and it doesn't make a difference to me as long as the kids have a working one..

heres some pics (not sure they are needed now that it works.

 

[keil423]

You damaged the Ft6u7.

Did you remember to create a 16mb nand for the demon or did you try writing a 512mb nand to the 16mb demon?

 

[jaynvck]

Nope, I did not do 16mb.

how damaged is it a prob? I am pretty certain that's what it looked like before I took the wire off.
when I get home ill test it

 

[jaynvck]

You damaged the Ft6u7

?

I think the trace on top goes to ft6u6 but yeah it looks bad. Does this trace out somewhere else I can wire to?

 

[Krafter]

Look here.

 

[hersheys247]

Ignore, trace does looked pulled
