Ok got it going finally. Connected D0 on the chip instead of J1, but that didn't help any. So after a few more reflows on the pcb at several points, including the ones pointed out, it finally started working. Regarding the jumper, I've seen different people doing either D0 or J1 and either would work on a 1.6. Is there a specific reason not to use J1 like that?

Alright, have been working at this some more, but still no luck. Not seeing any damaged traces or solder splashes, but maybe thats my inexperience. I've attached pics of what the solder work looks like. Let me know if I'm overlooking something here. If not, I'll probably just desolder everything and try to give it a complete re-do.

Having issues booting after an OpenXenium install on a 1.6 (using pcb). When power button is pressed, front light turns immediately from green to orange flashing, fails to power, then reboots and tries to power again with orange flashing light, then does it a third time. After the unsuccessful third try, it just completely cuts power and that's it. No flashing message, nothing at this point. Never able to get video either. Does the same thing regardless of whether drives are plugged in or not. While its trying to power on, I can see a solid red light on the chip, so I know its getting power. First time doing an Xbox mod, so hopefully this is just an issue of me being a noob. Board, power, and cables were all working before the mod. Solder points for the chip have been reflowed a couple times. I have also checked for possible solder splash, but there does not appear to be any that I can see. Traces also appear fine to me- no obvious burns or tears. Caps also appear good. Anything I miss? Maybe I need to re-check something more thoroughly? Mostly wondering what the 3x power cycle, orange light, no boot means.
