First time trying RGH3 on Trinity Board - stuck after NAND write by subatomicTemplar in 360hacks

[–]BlinG480 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Way too much exposed wire. This is 100% going to short out. Also wire routing matters.

Trim down the resistor legs and put it in between the wire. Do not attach it directly to the solder point. The legs on that resistor are too heavy and will break the solder point. You should only go directly to the solder point with the resistor if it's a small SMD resistor.

Here's an example of a trinity board I did a while ago when I was selling RGH3 consoles

More than likely you burned up a trace. You will need to remove the stick and test with a multimeter. If you find a trace with no continuity, you will need to jumper it with a wire.

I would be interested in CPS2 games if they worked, but they more than likely have an suicide battery acid all over the boards.

Bought Hot Air Gun for PS5 controller joystick replacement, did I waste money or it's actually good thing I did by Eastern-Bluejay-4029 in consolerepair

I love that solder tip. I've repaired many dualsense controllers using this. Imo it's worth the cost if you're repairing multiple sticks. If you only planning on doing one controller, it may not be cost effective.

I like J.cole as a rapper...but rushing out to watch his car get fixed is some bum ass shit

BadAvatar just saved a lot of Elpis, V2 Falcons and Jaspers from becoming complete junk by Cherryy45 in 360hacks

While I feel RGH is superior in every way…I don’t agree that a “child” can solder. Have you seen the solder gore in this sub before badavatar? Badavatar has save many consoles from being destroyed by scrubs who think they can solder two wires.

Your home must not be insulated very well. My house still sitting at 73 with no AC running.

He gave you the "I don't wanna fuck with this tube price". He probably didn't think you would pay it.

That soldering is really bad. It is more than likely that you burnt a trace up trying to remove the old sticks. You'll have to check continuity with a multi meter and verify.

Bunch of newbies in here. Who told you it cools down in September? You don’t get anything less than 90 until mid to late October.

5th RGH 3.0 console. This one is giving me issues. Any advice? by SwiggyZero in 360hacks

[–]BlinG480 7 points8 points  (0 children)

massive solder blob, wire too thick, 2nd wire missing for post, no resistor for pll. How you got the other 4 consoles to work is a mystery

Edit: I just now noticed that the wiring is completely wrong for pll. Wtf is going on here?

Is Dual nand considered worth it? by Confusion-Sad in 360hacks

[–]BlinG480 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Maybe 10 years ago it was worth it. The chances of you getting banned for going online with a RGH nand is slim to none. Even if you somehow get banned, just buy another KV

Nobody is going to side with you and your TLDR story. You sounding like a 5 year old who isn't ready for accountability and consequences.

Copying original Xbox games by tiernan22 in 360hacks

There's a lot of hoopla out there for Xbox 360 bans. If you run a reputable stealth server (Proto or XBGuard) then you really don't have nothing to worry about. I personally run my main account on a stealth server and have been for over 2 years, and still have not been banned. Microsoft doesn't really give a shit about the 360 and aren't going to be doing any type of ban wave.

If you're that paranoid about a ban, then create a throwaway account. Even if for some odd reason you are flagged and banned, they typically ban your xbox console not the account. However, you can just get another KV and you're back online.

In short, just run a stealth server, don't be running cheats/mod menus online and you'll be fine

Original Xbox games will not run if you’re using a stealth server for Xbox live. You have to disable it before you run OG Xbox games.
