RGH Xbox will not boot anymore

Hi all,
thanks in advance for the replies. Like a week ago i had my first rgh with qsb working flawless. Its a slim btw. Boot times were very good and after a few days it gave issues with the boot, no green light at all. So i thought the soldering, so i removed the qsb and soldered everything directly, still no green at all, only the red light on the coolrunner. Even soldered the alternative points for the cpu_rst and the stby_rst. Then i thought leave it is it is, remove the wiring and solder the nandprogram wires to program the nand back to stock. After that no boot at all. I already flashed the nand back to stock twice. No red light on the console, just nothing. What's will be my next logic step?

Can't see the stby-clk point very well and sometimes it's a lifted pad or short here. Can't see any evident shorts.

Does the xbox have power does it give the chime when you try to power on, does it have the green light but not boot?

don't really know what give the chime means, but it has a green light, just does not boot, stby_clk looks very intact, don't really know why i did the alternative or do you mean the alternative point for the view?

has something lifted at c5r47 on the first picture? Looks suspect but might be a reflection

you mean this one right? looks lifted to me, Any suggestions about doing it myself? This does not really looks like the reason th cr stopped giving green lights considering this is the alternative blue wire solder point, but booting is my concern atm.

Thx alot balloo, i will try the multimeter for sure. BTW the first cpu_rst i did also looks the pad is lifted right, so all cr problems came from that spot. There is a pro, just don't know if he is good enough to try fixing it, at least i most likely know why it stopped booting.

If he can do trace repairs hopefully you'll be good. At least you don't have lifted or blown resistors/caps.

After a few days, waiting for a head magnifier and a 15w iron i checked the traces around the spot that looked damaged on the pics. All traces are fine by the multimeters sayin, there are three around that spot so i'm pretty much stuck atm. Are there anymore suggestions to be able to find my boot error or is it mostly done so for and i just need a new mobo?
