Hey everyone.
Well I sent in a post about how my chip worked o.k. but after a period of time that the X would turn from blue to red, and at the next load point in the game it would freeze and need a reboot. Everyone said that the chip is only required at first few seconds of boot, and that the problem would be in the soldering. So I re-touched all solder points to make sure. Once I tried it it would work but light would go from dim-bright when I moved the chip on the pin header. So I took it off and noticed that one of the pins in the header was not connected and moved down and wasnt making contact. I redid everything again and it started to FRAG. So I redid all connections the LPC build over and over and still FRAG. So I COMPLETELY REMOVED everything for the mod chip install and it still frags. The board looks very clean and I dont see any lifted pads or scratched tracers. So why would it FRAG with everything removed?
I guess I will get a new BOX and try again, I am assuming that my chip is still fine as the box doesnt work even with the chip un-installed.But wondered if anyone had some advice so I dont KILL another box :-(
Thanks in adavance!
