The 4 gb memory module just unplugs from the motherboard.  Like a usb port or an esata.

Unless that is only on specific motherboard version.  Only worked on 3 slims

I'd say you are having trouble with the XCGpu chip

Like my post says, i don't have the plug in memory, its built in, hence why i need to know if it can be disabled by cutting a track on the board.

Got a pic of your Corona ?

Maybe some unsoldering work would disable the onboard Memory

If it comes to seeing if the memory is really the issue then just cut the VCC line in case it isn't the cause so it can be resoldered easily.

This is exactly the solution I'm looking for,  would you happen to have any images or links to the actual trace I need to cut?

You can't do that, the MU is the nand IC, Cut the power to that and the console won't do anything
