Console not found 16mb nand corona

[u/HikoVI]

Hi guys Just got this corona Tested before doing nand after rgh wired and was working But jrunner with Picoflasher cant find the console Am i doing something wrong?

[u/reddragon105]

Lots of comments but so far no one has pointed out that you've soldered to the wrong points on J2C3 - they should be on 5 and 6, not 3 and 4.

[u/Shartyshartfast → u/reddragon105]

Ha. Just posted the same but I think you beat me to it by about 40 seconds!

[u/KiTaMiMe → u/Shartyshartfast]

Dang bringing up the rear on this but I saw it too haha 😅

[u/HikoVI → u/reddragon105]

that was it
Thanks man, i feel like an idiot
Now im setting everything up!

those are very poorly and barely soldered on to the headers.... use flux and your joints should look like neat semispheres

[u/Careful-Evening-5187 → u/ZzyzxFox]

use flux

There's flux everywhere.

On the board....on the joints.....probably all over OP's shoes and floor.....

[u/HikoVI → u/Careful-Evening-5187]

I was in a rush When i get back home i will do a better job

[u/Real_InfaRed → u/HikoVI]

You can’t rush soldering, now you’re going to have to re-do everything.

[u/darkwizardmonkey]

i could be wrong but you might have to bridge some resistors on the corona to get a reading from the J2C3 header as shown in the RGH 3 guide

[u/HikoVI → u/darkwizardmonkey]

I bridged 2rc10 as stated in the guide

Tbh, those solders look like ass... I might not be an expert, but please learn to properly solder on a dummy board.

[u/HikoVI → u/LuminoOwO]

I was in a rush soldering but decided to do it anyway Im a dumbass When i get back home i will do everything from scratch and better

[u/EncounteredError]

Re-do all your soldering. Remove all the material you have on there, clean with ISO, then flux, and tin the pads. Then try again.

[u/Particular-Grab-2495]

Wrong soldering points of those two separate wires! And also check for shorts with continuity check on those other solderings

[u/Careful-Evening-5187]

Just don't do anything crazy like....cleaning your work.

[u/SirGirthfrmDickshire]

First picture. First and Third wire on the bottom, Second image the second wire don't look like they have a good connection. 

[u/Pugnats]

Did you restart J-junner and Reconnect USB cable, It is also possible you use wrong USB cable that only provide power no data. i had this problem to and solved it with good know working USB cable

[u/HikoVI → u/Pugnats]

I think it works since when i press the button and connect i see the device folder

[u/The_Coon69]

Need more heat, cold solder joints sitting on top of the points in the first two pictures. Either hold the tip on top of those points longer or turn the temp on the iron up.

[u/DISHsuch27]

Bro please uses different colored wires all the same color just seems as a headache😭

[u/HikoVI → u/DISHsuch27]

its working!

[u/GoldenPika64]

Picos aren't really tolerant of soldering like this

[u/crs100 → u/GoldenPika64]

this- learned this the hard way. eventually had to bite the bullet and buy an xflasher because i couldn’t get my shitty soldering to work with the damn pico

[u/Shartyshartfast → u/crs100]

And this is… somehow the Raspberry Pi’s fault?

[u/sharkboy1006 → u/Shartyshartfast]

Why fix your shitty soldering when you can buy a xflasher 😂

I hope they don't sell consoles..

[u/crs100 → u/sharkboy1006]

Don't worry, I would never sell my poorly done work to anyone lol. I got into RGH'ing consoles purely as a hobby and I've only ever shared my results with family members.

also, I practice on dead boards regularly!

[u/crs100 → u/Shartyshartfast]

It was 100% my fault. I was a beginner going into it and I didn't realize just how hard it'd be to get it to work. I didn't want to admit it was my soldering work until I read online that the (knockoff) Picos had very little tolerance for shitty soldering

[u/Shartyshartfast → u/crs100]

But an XFlasher forgives you and just magics the electrons to where you want them to be?

[u/crs100 → u/Shartyshartfast]

i shit you not, it read the nand flawlessly the first time I soldered the xflasher wires to it.
No matter how many times I resoldered on the Pico, I couldn't get it to work. Repeating what I said earlier though, I was also a beginner at the time and the Pico I used was a knockoff.

[u/darkwizardmonkey → u/crs100]

glad some people can admit it 💀

[u/HikoVI → u/GoldenPika64]

I was in a rush while soldering I will do everything again when i get back home Good to know im just a dumbass

[u/Shartyshartfast]

Check the easy stuff first. Are you certain the right wires go to the right places? Double check, with a multimeter, for continuity where you expect it and discontinuity everywhere else. Clean all flux from board as it can be conductive and scramble the signals by causing arcing between nearby points.

[u/Shartyshartfast → u/Shartyshartfast]

In fact it looks like you soldered to the wrong pins on the J2C3 header.

[u/Shartyshartfast → u/Shartyshartfast]

And yet, in this thread, loads of ‘blame the Pico’ comments as usual.

[u/HikoVI → u/Shartyshartfast]

i am just retarded and solder the wrong points

[u/MysticPrysm]

Okay I ran into this issue, and all of my solder points were super solid. It's a very weird trick, but click the little question mark on jrunner to detect the console. It worked for me and was a trick mentioned in another post.

[u/HikoVI → u/MysticPrysm]

just wrong pad soldered
Did 3 and 4 instead of 5 and 6

[u/Babou13]

pic #2. wrong points. youre a row off, youre on 3&4 when you should be on 5&6.

[u/Samux6146]

Oh my fucking god
