I have a Jasper RGH (I believe it's Glitch2, but I can't boot into Dashlaunch to check.) that currently wont boot / rarely boots. When it's on, during the pulses the mod chip does flash green, but it'll just keep pulsing forever. Managed to boot into Xell and it stopped at "Looking for files on local media and TFTP..." so I believe everything is fine there. I left it for 35 minutes waiting for it to boot at one point and it did not.

At first when I was using it, it would boot within like 3 pulses, but now it wont boot at all it seems. It's fully booted twice today, once was an instant boot, like first pulse, the second time was after about 20 pulses, and a 3rd time it booted was when I booted into Xell and that time was also an instant boot.

It's NOT a storage problem, booting without HDD plugged in still gives me the same issue, same with USB in/out. Tried booting it with everything unplugged but power, still same issue. Never fully glitches, just keeps pulsing. Tried component cables, hdmi cables as well, still no boot. Tried a different PSU and it still doesnt boot.

I know RGH's can have long boot times, but mine never had this issue, used to always boot in about 3 pulses consistently, but now it's completely ****. The last thing I did on the console before this issue happened was remote launch a game and the console just turned off. LED was on, but the display was black. I'm pretty sure it's NOT a display issue because it booted twice earlier today with no visual display problems, playing online with mods just fine until I turned it off.

Have you tried bypassing plugins by pushing the eject or by having a blank Launch.ini?

Yeah, tried booting without the HDD in, still no boot. Pretty sure it isn't a storage issue.

Yes, I've tried bypassing plugins, no boot. Haven't tried a blank launch.ini, but I can't see the ini being an issue because the 2 times I got it to boot today I was playing online with mods and ApparitionNET loaded just fine no issues until I turned the console off.

Its starting to sound like its either the console is starting to RROD or a bad soldering job.

I did manage to get it booted into Xell once, it went through fully up until "Looking for files on local media and TFTP...", which unless I'm misinformed is normal to stop on in Xell.

The issue is the console not glitching as far as I'm aware, when it does boot everything is fully functional as normal, it just doesn't seem to glitch. I can audibly hear it pulsing, and the mod chip flashes green when it's pulsing, but it doesn't glitch.

Sounds like the console might be starting to get RROD or bad soldering. How long have you had the console?
