(d0 wires should be as short as possible) Looking at the pic of the chameleon's solder side, it looks as though a wire ripped off the d0 solder pad.

I'd pull the board out, check to make sure that red wire routes back toward the pinheader and the underside d0, if so, all you should need to do is resolder the wire onto the d0 pad of the chameleon.

You can look at a pic of the topside and underside d0 points in This teamxodus iceguide. Yes its a guide for the xenium, but it shows the d0 points on page 14 & 15 (underside is on 15)

...not to mention interference from other components

I agree, it is probably the D0 wire. Just to be safe, since you didn't do the original install, I would remove the board and double check.

wow..sorry i didnt think of this sooner (not that it matters now...hopefully your modder can fix you up)

If youre fraggin without the chip in place, you've got more issues than the modchip not working, possibly a cut trace or lifted pad (if the tug on the wire was hard enough, you may have lifted the trace or pad of the d0 on the underside, which will cause a frag.

hopefully the modder catches that...good luck
