Did you get a green light? Can you see the boot.dat? screen? First you see a blue light that flashes and it should get green.

Havent installed one yet, but i suggest fluxing the points again and running the soldering iron.
I am not al expert in soldering, but that doesnt look like a good install to me

also make sure you clipped the nand and everything correct

 

[UnderJinx]

Jesus..Your right now i got blue light what does mean and do i have to turn on the switch to test.

it works now thanks for your help guys.

 

[Xandroz]

[Grimlock97]

Congratulations. Put that silver alu-shielding, that was glued on to the nand chip back to the motherboard. where it was

[Xandroz]

but shouldent the fan turn when it's on

Yes then it worked. Now you need to reassemble everything back and put the boot.dat 3.0.3 that you can download on sx.xecuter website to the sd card. It will boot to bootloader and will ask you to confirm the update to v1.3. When it is finished, make nand backup asap. after the backup, save it on your computer and create emunand

The fan starts, when the cpu temp threshold has been reached. Mine is also not starting when the cpu is not hot. When I play games, then it starts.

great the metalplate that goes ontop of the nvidia chip doesnt fit because of the modchip

 

[Grimlock97]

You have to cut the shield a little bit, so the cable goes through without touching the metalplate.

This is, how it needs to look like, see the image. The metalplate should be mounted onto its metalframe meanwhile the modchip should be outside.

Edit:Another image, I marked it where you need to cut, so the flexcable goes through without touching the metalplate.

FYI you dont need to cut it, you can bend it easily
