Hi,
It's been a fun ride with this console.
Had some damaged resistors near the HANA chip. Repaired them using alt points and new resistors. Also had a short on the 5v header on j1d2. I had to break the trace to get it to stop (so c1d7 is no longer connected).
Read and wrote Nand without issues after fixing the short. Booted to Xell got my CPU key, wrote and flashed XeBuild and all was well except I would get an intermittent 0010. I made a makeshift clamp to apply pressure to the southbridge chip and it seemed to do the trick.
I was then playing a game for about an hour and got an RRoD. I didn't check the secondary code that time (figured it was just another 0010). Tried rebooting and suddenly there was no debug light flashing on the cr4. Checked and resoldered wiring - no change. Flashed back to stock nand - boots fine. Tried to rewire for RGH2+ - still no green light.
About a week later - I installed the RRoD pro kit II and 2 days later the cr4 suddenly flashed green and instabooted. However, it only did this if the console was off for a few hours.
I used the console this way for a few days (no more 0010 BTW). Now, once again - no more green light. I replaced some bloated looking caps to see if that might help. Still nothing.
I've tested voltages on cpu_rst and post_out - cpu_rst - 1.08v and post - 0 to different values - sometimes as low as 0.16v and as high as 1v.
Is there anything else I can test?
The pics are of the RGH install and the RJtag install. The latest photo is most current. I had damaged the M pad so I scraped the trace and soldered to it. I tested continuity to the sixth pin on the chip. The cr4 debug light was still working after this repair (during the time that it only worked if the console was off for a few hours).
Thanks a ton!
