Okay i guess none (most) people wont know this so im asking the "super solderers"

I have a jasper 256MB Motherboard with a broken trace/lifted pad on point B for where the CoolRunner goes, I have attempted to fix the trace but no cookie for me

Heres my attempt (not the best but its making contact with each point)

The board is NOT burnt its just the flux thats making it look burnt.

Anyways, When i desolder the wire i get no power from the console at all, But when i solder it back on i just get the middle green LED on the RF Board, No other green lights :-/

I've looked for tutorials on how to fix a broken trace but cant find any!!

Any help please? <3

Make sure your trying to boot a stock nand. Re-check your traces with a magnifying glass to make sure thats not the only one that is cut. There is also alternate points for that one if you are still planning on doing the rgh.

If you already dumped your nand then just rewrite your nand image and it should boot up fine.
