i have had this before and the cause was one if the chip resistors at the front where you solder the bt or ej wire for live safe chip was dammaged the pull up risistor was open circuit causing the xbox to power up as soon as it was plugged in.

Any chance you can upload again the images of your soldering work? Not sure what to solder and don't understand the original picture. Thanks!
