I have checked all connections seem good the only thing i didnt do at that stage was replace the thermal paste which i normally do once i have completed the dumps and i am putting it back together.

I have tried reflowing but no luck

Anyone have any paths i could try it would be great

Thanks in advance NGU

You took dumps without the heatsink and fan assembly connected to the chips? Ouch.. You may have overheated the console..or the flash memory got corrupted during flash..

The only thing I suppose you could do is solder a wire from tristate to a ground. This will keep the console running enough to either grab a dump and see if it is corrupt, or to try and flash a good backup(if you have one) to the console. remove the wire and if it starts, great. If not, the console has suffered damages from overheating and will need a reflow, a reball, or to be replaced.

GL!

No eveything was connected i cleaned it all but the only thing i didnt clean and replace was the thermal.paste as i normally do this after i have got my dumps and replaced the dump so it still had thw old paste on. But nwvermind haha ok i will try that method i will have to get some copper wire then i will let you know how i got one thanks mate
