Okay, thanks again Swizzy, found it on the Dutch version of Conrad. I'll go look for it at my local electrostore (that's where i bought the other ones as well).
Hope this works, i will defenitly try this, but if it doesn't work, maybe a stupid question, but why does the console boot when i place my thumb on the points of the RF board? Isn't there some way of connecting some of those points to make it boot? ( Sorry, probably a verry noob question, but i just had to ask)

Hi Swizzy,
I just found out about something. I thought; maybe the RF board is not connecting to the console like it should be, so i removed the motherboard from the case and pressed the RF board to the console while pushing the start button. And then it immediately booted. But in a later attempt it didn't. So what i found out was that the console only boots when i press my thumb to the place on the RF board i outlined on the attached picture.
Do you know what this means, and what i can do now?
-
On previous pictures you don't see this, but i used a resistor like this (see pic). Could this have anything to do with it? It's a 10K Ohm resistor.
Should i trie connecting other resistors, or could there still be something else that is wrong?
I'll also attach a picture of the top of the board, maybe something is wrong with that?
Hope you can help , getting a bit nuts.

I really hoped this would do it, but unfortunatly it still doesn't start with the RF board Connected.
I tried using the start button on the RF board, and i also tried to start using a controller, but te controller doesn't seem to find the RF board.
Only when i remove the RF board, the console starts immediately, and when i then replace the RF board, the controller also finds the RF board.

Verry clear diagram, i finally understand, haha. Thanks a lot for all the work you put in to this. I'll try this first thing monday morning. I'll let you know how it worked out.

Oke, sorry about that.... Thanks, that would be great.

So, when i understand you correctly, i have to solder a resistor to the remaining point of the resistor that is gone, and then wire it to Q2N1?
If that is correct, according to the diagram i used before, i have already soldered a wire coming from the other side of the board, to that point. Does it have to stay there?
-
Okay, but what to do right now? Do i have to scrape the trace on either side of the resistor, solder wire to both sides and then connect it with a 10K Ohm resistor? Or do i have to make some other connections?
-
Hi Swizzy, were you able to map the traces already, or did'n't you have the time to do it yet?
Like i said, no rush of course, just hope you remember me.
Got myself a pair of magnifying glasses right now, hope that will help to do the job.
-
Thanks for the advice gavin_darkglider, but i really can't afford to send it to the UK, and pay a lot of money to get it fixed.
Okay, thank you Swizzy, no rush, i'm glad you're willing to help.

You're right abouth it being difficult to do (really tiny stuff), and so i tried to find someone to do it for me, but unfortunatly without succes. No pro was able or willing to help me (most of them not doing R-Jtag).
So i read a lot more abouth it on the internet and bought some 10K Ohm resistors and even managed to solder it to the points where the resistor was. But when i tried to bend it a little ( to make it fit the case) it came of the board again, and took one of the points with it.
Now i've been searching the net for a fix, but all i read abouth it, is that i should scrape of the trace and make a connection with a resistor, only thing is, i can not find any diagram of how to exactly connect things.
I just hope you can help me out on this one more time? I would be verry thankfull, because the way it is right now, the console is useless.
-
Thanks for the advice, like i said before, this is all new to me. Unfortunatly i don't have someone who could help me out with this, so i guess i'll just give it a trie.
As i look at the picture in my previous post, it looks like there are still two points left on the board that i can solder to, so i think i can manage that. If you could please tell me what i exactly need to order, and if it is okay to solder to that points, or if i have to solder to the trace as well. I'll just take my time and be carefull.

I tried to solder it, but i am afraid it is gone right now (see picture). Maybe it was loose indeed. What to do now????
I assume i have to replace the R2P12 resistor, but what kind of resistor do i need (all i read abouth it, is that is a 10 K Ohm resistor?), and can i just solder it to the motherboard as of where it was?
-
So f i understand you correctly, you don't mean to put the QSB back, but just put some solder on that spot you mentioned?
-
would it be an option to connect the yellow wire to the RF board in stead of to the Q2N1, like they do on the diagram?
-
What do you mean, i removed that QSB you link to?

thanks again suprashake, same to you.
-
Oh, oke, thanks for the pictures, on the picture of the diagram you linked to me, it looked like the red wire was Connected to the top of the board, and so i did. But now i see on your pics that it goes to the bottom side?
So, now i go get myself some diodes, and get back to you when everything is ready.
Oh, and yes, i do come from the beautiful Netherlands.
Haha Suprashake, thanks for the support. It was actually more my way of appologizing, but thanks anyway.

Ah, okay, thanks a lot for explaining, that totaly fulfilled my curiosity.
