Hello,
I recently got a Falcon (phat) RGH1. The thing will not boot up into anything, it just sits there with a green light (power button) and the coolrunner chip has a solid red light (from reading about this online, its supposed to be blinking green)
I'm no soldering genius, but I know a couple of people who could probably do the work for me, here are pics of some of the solder joints:

is the solder bonded between the power and ground wire on the coolrunner? on your very last picture in the google pics it kinda looks like it.
