so for the past month or so my corona rgh wasnt booting, and when i say booting it wouldnt even get to the xbox home screen ( so it wasnt turning on at all ) untill last night i some how got it to work, but now it wont work again. all that is happening is i power it up, and the red light doesnt flash on the chip and the green light flashes every 5 seconds, ive tried booting into xell aswell and it still wont work, just the same old green light flashing, i havnt done any updates on the console, so not sure what could be causing this, everything is plugged in fine.

It sounds like your console may have a bad flash. You may have to send it in to get it re-flashed.

Im not a console expert, ill have to wait for a console god to post and see what they say but i believe thats what it is.

It could be a number of things, but in my experience when a console doesnt boot, i swap out the chip and wires and things are smooth sailing again..

could be that you have a loose wire making short connections allowing you to boot sometimes. but not all times..

to fix it you'll need a soldering iron and a new chip. or could send it to someone to be repaired.

a nand reader writer would come in handy once you start soldering to motherboards.

aight thanks, it could be something loose, cause when i pick up the console and move it around it sounds like something in it is moving around or falling out.

RGH repair would be 45$ total shipped back in USA for something like that.
