Hello everyone!
I joined here because somehow the registration on team-xecuter forum has been closed for several weeks now.
Please, do not hesitate to delete this post if it's not appropriate.
So here is my story. I bought a CR4 to install in my Falcon (latest dash) to perform the R-JTAG+.
I did the installation, and it went well. Apart from the fact that I messed the reset connection.
What I did is that I used a shielded cable, and solder it to the point R8C2. However, I mistakenly soldered it to R8C7.
I realised my mistake after being able to succesfully retrieve 4 NANDs, and write back the xell nand.
I attempted to start the console, and got a beautiful RROD.
I then looked on my soldering to check on what was going on. And there was the mistake.
However, the cure was worse than the disease, as when desoldering, the resistor went off too (with the M pad on the CR4.
I was able however to replace the burnt resistor with two others I had. (All the picture will be in a spoiler at the end the thread).
After soldering the reset cable to right place AND soldering on the other side directly on the CR4 Chip, I went and tried again to start the console. It started to boot, but I got a black screen. After a few minutes, I unplugged it and tried again. It seemed to start (fans starting), but after a few seconds it would stop.
However this time, nothing was happening when I pressed the power-up button. The only way to get it to do something was when I unplugged the front pcb.
After reflashing the stock NAND and trying again to boot (with the CR4 not powered), nothing happened again.
So here is the state of my console:
My diagnostic is that I somehow burnt a chip or a switch on the front pcb.
Here is below my J-runner log:
And here are the installation pictures:
The spoiled resistor replacement
The good R8C2 Soldering
The soldering to the chip with the M pad ripped up
And the ripped up pad!
The Q2N1 connection
The bottom QSB
The NAND-X J1D2 QSB
The 2nd top QSB
The TP7R3 Connection (Yes B is green on mine instead of grey, but it goes to the right place).
The FT6U1 Connection
So here is it, I think everything's said. Thanks for reading!
Please do not hesitate is there is anything more I could do to clarify this post!

So here is the state of my console:
- Latest Dash
- CR4 R-JTAG+ install
- NAND read/write works
- Do not power up (even with stock NAND)
- The console was working beforehand
- Electrical connection between front pcb and motherboard is good (I checked continuity between both connectors, and its good on every pins)
My diagnostic is that I somehow burnt a chip or a switch on the front pcb.
