Hard to tell exact details from pics. Might not be too late.

If the pads are just lifted - you can anchor them back down.
First - you got to do a subtle clean up. Use good flux. 60/40 solder. The right temp on the iron and the right tip.

If you can clean the pads without separating them from the board; then go to the next step. Slowly bend them in place. Epoxy the edges. Might even need to use conductive glue under the solder pads.

If this doesn't work ... you'll have to run point to point jumpers.

Kind of looks like you have just one lifted pad. The other might just have rough solder on it.

Im getting the weird sound from the fan like when you mtheess up the original cpu_rst. Its red dotted too. I tried to get solder to stick to r4d4 and i havent had any luck. Pretty sure the pads are gone.

The fix you show looks like it uses the right pad from r4d4. Can i use the via above r4d4? Jump that to the via you show below r4d5? Then splice into that and go to the alt point on the back. If i try this i get normal fan glitching sounds and the blinking green light. It just dont get the green light on the cr3.

Ok i have it back in the metal cage and it wont boot. It boots out of the cage. The cpu_rst wire is coiled and placed under the board. Is there some interference coming from the metal cage. Well it booted while i was typing this. Took five minutes or longer. It boots less than a min out of the cage. Any ideas? Thanks

Something is probably grounding against the cage. Use some insulators at your exposed solder joints.

Or place electrical tape directly on the cage.

when you test rgh consoles you should always have it in the cage with HDD, wifi, and dvd drive connected. all that i mentioned change the boot timings..

what type slim are we talking about here?

now that you know it boots we have to find its center...

Well i played around with it for a few hours and never got good boot times. So i played some injustice on it for an hour and then had to leave for awhile. When i came back it wouldnt show any video when it would boot. I unplugged it snd now i get 0020 error and red dot. Is this because of the missing resistor from r4d4? This is a trinity to answer your question. This is the first slim rgh i have messed with. I have a jasper rgh 2.0 and a jtag xenon i did just so i would know how. Been repairing for a few years just hadnt gotten into modding past firmware for the drives. I put the stock nand back on this unit after playing the injistice. It booted fine. I was giving up on the boot times and just going to give it to my kids. So the errors are after i put the stock nand on.
