Xbox 360 S (Corona) RGH3 no video after XeLL write (xflasher)

[Uiaad]

Hello! You know it's bad when I come asking for help haha.

So I recently bought an Xbox 360 S so that A) I could do some dev on the 360 and B) so my wife can play Viva Piñata again. I'd be happy with BadUpdate/BadAvatar but my wife doesn't get on well with Softmods - Theres a long ass story there but I will leave that to a blog at some point.

So I disassembled the Xbox and installed the SMC_post 1 - Post 1 and SMC_PLL - PLL (with 1k resistor) wires - Checked points with multimeter
Reattached Heatsink and Xclamp
Soldered Xflasher
Reinstalled the front panel connector
Connected power
Connected Xflasher
Dumped NAND x2 and matched
Checked Kernel Version ( 17559 )
Checked Glitch 2 is selected
Checked RGH3 25Mhz is selected
Created XeLL
Wrote XeLL (successful)
Disconnected Xflasher
Connected HDMI and Powered on

And that's where I get a big black screen of nothing. I say black screen, but there is no video output being detected ( used several different cables and Monitors/TVs)

Now, if I flash the original NAND back and power on the Xbox boots just fine

If anyone has any ideas about what's going on here, it would be much appreciated

console version? is there a post-out or did you have to install it? corona 3-4-5-6 is missing and you have to install it.

My console is corona v2 too but it was missing post-out (there are some 4giga). If you are not in this situation, then some cable is not making good contact.

I'll take another look first thing in the morning just to make sure I haven't missed anything

I'll keep you in the loop if I figure anything out. I had to take today off, looking at it due to a flare-up of a frozen shoulder

@Vstromakias Thank you for your help, I'm an absolute idiot. This is infact the Second Xbox I've had in the last week. First one I Royall screwed up the PLL but it was 100% a V2... you can see where this is going ... Seems I never bothered to check the second one (because as I said I'm a raging idiot) is infact a V3 :/
I've ordered a postfix and will report back in a couple of days

Spoiler: Blurry Pic of shame

everything is fine then since it is only post fix. you can use a trimmer to cut the corner and attach a cable to the forth leg.

I have a corona v2 4giga that is missing the post.
