(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Hey, Ive got a Falcon JTAG with freeboot 0.32 and dash 9199 and for some reason whenever I start up my JTAG 7/10 times i'll either get 1 red ring or 3 red rings. I dont know what the problem is and im not quite sure what to do about it, I thought about dumping and checking the NAND but I figured i'd get some input from the JTAG gurus here. Thanks

Waiting for me?



Anyways, 2 things you should try. If you actually get RROD and it still boots (Voltage separation issues) then you should use Blackaddr's transistor method.

You must login or register to view this content.

Now if you still have issues are you are normal jtagging (Not Cygnosv2) then you may have to move the SMC connections. This involves changing where you send the SMC signals from. There are 2 methods around this, the AUD_CLAMP and the TRAY_OPEN to replace normal jtagging points. (Also this is used if you lifted db1f1 and the normal alternates from the board)

Need more info?

Thanks
and actually yes, I was waiting on you =D

I'll give it a try and see what happens although now whenever I boot up from the power button I get 1 red ring and a E74 error (Secondary error comes up as 1033) and whenever I boot up from the eject button I get 3 red rings with no screen. (and before sometimes it would boot fine with red rings o.O) :/ I dont know what happened but this started up around 2 days ago on and off until I couldnt even boot it without red rings :/

Then the first diagram is for you. Some falcons are missing the 0ohm resistor on the smc port we normally use. If you utilize this diagram you are providing proper voltage which correlates to proper timing of the smc injection.

Alright man, i'll give it a try then.
Thanks for your help

Never a problem.

And in the future if you need some help and I haven't responded (My life is extremely busy these days) just PM me a link to your thread and I will get to it asap.

Sounds good, I appreciate it

Hmm, I opened my JTAG and the wirings almost nothing like this.
However when I have the shell off it seems to work fine almost everytime, its just when I put the shell back on it starts to mess up :???:

Of course it's nothing like it. This is a new method for falcons and zephyrs.

Are you soldered to the ring of light board or the bottom of the motherboard for that point?

Oh lol
And its on the bottom of the mobo.
