Help Needed: Console Won’t Boot After Modchip Install and Capacitor Replacement

[flacojr007]

On my first attempt to install the modchip, it didn’t work, but the console still booted into OFW. After removing the modchip, the console purple-screened and then stopped turning on completely. This week, I installed a new modchip but accidentally knocked off one of the APU CMDs and the CMD under solder point D for the CLK flex cable as seen in picture 2. I replaced both with 0201 1UF 105M 6.3V capacitors. After reassembling the console partially, the chip stays solid blue, blinks yellow three times, and the screen remains black.

IMO you should clean it a bit more for better pics and buy some new solder as that stuff looks cheap
I hope you get it fixed bro.

it looks like that because i ultrasonic cleaned the board. i believe the soldering points are good

IIRC I had a OLED purple screen and replacing the CMD resistor fixed the issue, from my experience the *== error can appear from many different issues so there isnt a specific fix when it happens.
I agree with PhyChris you definetely need new solder and flux.
