will powerup (show red light) but wont start up (show green light)

i fixed my ylod problem by reflowing it, i know this because at 1st it started up perfectly fine like it was new. except i had to go into it again because it wasnt starting games (both in the blu ray drive and the ones i already downloaded to my harddrive) or even netflix. i figured out this was happenning because the blu ray drive ribbon wasnt connected to the motherboard.

anyways i have created a whole new problem where it will have power because it shows the red light but i cant start it neither using my controller wirelessly nor by pressing the start button. the eject button beeps(because the blu-ray isnt connected) so i know it senses that i am pressing on it so i am not sure what is causing the start up to fail.

any help or knowledge on what could cause this or what peices could be damaged would be much appreciated!

Answer this question I have this problem too
