xenon e79 after writing xell

[Martin C]

yep, that'll do it.

You not got a Maplins near to you, or any old PCBs with 330Ohm resistors on them?

 

[BGAMods]

f**k maplins the skanks.

100 off ebay for £1.28 lmao.

so which was it the 1st or 2nd ones i posted lol.

 

[manwithoutname]

If you need some quick I got plenty here, got 330, 440 and even 680 I think.

 

[Martin C]

lol you updated your post!!

Both 1/4w and 1/2w will do, but you'll be better off with the 1/4w IMHO.

You only want one to test this with for now

 

[BGAMods]

well i cant drive for certain reasons lol so ill have to order some online.

ill grab the 1/4 ones then and see where it gets me. really had me stumped this has cause i knew my soldering was perfect.

 

[Martin C]

Well if it still doesn't work, you know what's coming....

 

[BGAMods]

lmao, i know 100% that the solderings sweet. ive done probably 200+ jtags and never had an issue plus i did more the same day and they were all fine and ive also resoldered this one about 10 times using different diodes every time. soldering jtag is probably the easiest soldering ive ever had to do.

 

[rdubbs007]

The E79 kit should fix it up very nicely (they are made specifically FOR Xenons )

 

[BGAMods]

ya gonna grab one tomorrow hopefully.

ive attached a couple of pics to show the solderings fine, theres still flux paste on the points so thats what the darkness is but the soldering is fine lol.

 

[Martin C]

you've def put the diodes the right way round, yes?

 

[BGAMods]

lmao, i was tempted to leave the heat shrinking off for the pic cause i knew id be asked that lol.

yes mate theyre the right way,

 

[Martin C]

have you tested the diodes, just in case one of them is faulty?

[BGAMods]

them exact diodes have been removed from my working jtag, i removed them to confirm 100% it wasnt the diodes. i even installed them back in my jtag after the e79 and mine booted fine.

that 100% rules out a diode fault. just ordered the resistors and waiting for modtraders to get back to me about the e79 kit.

 

[Martin C]

You won't need the E79 kit, just the diode(sorry, meant resistor) across the two points (if it's that).

Remove the bridge and ensure J2D2.4 is 1.5k and J2D2.7 is <10Ohms.

 

[BGAMods]

j2d2.4 = 1.5k
j2d2.7 = 6.7

 

[J2G]

I'm just sitting on the fence here watching lol i had a bitch of an xenon doing the same thing but got an offer on it so didn't carry on trying sh** to see what was up.

 

[Martin C]

lol!

 

[BGAMods]

it f**king worked.

thanks guys for your help and especially martin.

 

[rdubbs007]

diode where? pics?

 

[Teajunkie]

This reminds me of the headache i had with the jatg that wouldnt boot without a modded ROL!
