Jtag E79 Weird Problem And Workaround
« on: June 03, 2011, 01:00:00 PM »
From what I have read, the random e79 error is a known issue for Xenons with no fix found yet. It only happens to me once in awhile so I don't worry about it too much but obviously it is a problem if it happens all the time.

Thx for the feedback crazy I appreciate it. Anyone else have any ideas of what I can do? I did see on the executor forums that some xenons just simply do not want to work with Jtag and they made a special kit to test out for those "special" case xenons can this be the issue?

Just an update if anyone else has this problem I just tried holding my thumb down on the southbridge chip with quite alot of pressure and it keeps booting fine so I am going to do a reflow and xclamp fix for the southbridge. Just a heads up later guys.
