RGH Won't turn on

[Totally Trav]

Alright I am fairly sure it's a wiring/soldering issue at this point but I am wondering if anyone has any ideas of a more specific part to look at in order to find the problem connection.

I have an Elite console and someone did the RGH for me. It worked for a few days and was great, but one day it stopped turning on.

I don't mean like errors popped up or anything, it was almost as if it had died. No RoL LED's turned on, no fans turned on, power brick light stayed orange. Nothing. The CR LED was red at least.

The next morning I tried again and it started up like normal. Later that night, it did not.

I opened it looking for an obvious wiring issue and powered it on with just the motherboard sitting on a box. Again, it started up fine. Then 5 minutes later it did not.

I can post pictures at a later time if that will really truly help.
Any suggestions will be appreciated.

the hana point for me has produced the occasional wierd power happenings even rrod. damage to it can kill the xbox until its repaired so its a good place to start.

I would say get some pictures up so soldering can be checked.

I appreciate your effort with my "lack" of cooperation by not posting picture but I took my soldering iron and reheated all of the contacts (starting with the HANA) and it powered up.
It may not be fixed but if I can confirm it is fixed I will post back promptly.
Thank you very much for your help so far. I tried to be as little as a "noob" as possible about this haha

cool. it was mostly likely that then but any other issue's come back with photo's mate. the mods have to ask too many times and 99.9% of the time they are crucial for the right help. hopefully it will be fine now.

I do not have pictures :facepalm:
but the issue keeps coming back. It would boot without a HDD just now but not with one attached.
I think the heat from the heatsink is messing with the connection of the HANA point because usually when I reheat the connection, it will start working again

sounds alike to your problem. its the point above the hana point (number 1 in the pic)

if its damaged it wont boot with a dvd/hdd attached.

I had virtually the exact same problem on a falcon. Was getting perfect continuity over the stby_clk right back to the coolrunner over the QSB. It would only boot as and when it felt like it. I decided to remove the QSB, soldered to the pad directly and voila, all boot problems gone. If I install now I either go direct wires to the pad before the resistor or use the alt point on the back of the board. Never have issues with booting now.
