Replacement DIP switch bank?

[gsinker]

Hey all,

When I set the dip switches on my X3 to flash bank 1234 (on on off off), X3LC says I flashed bank 5678. When I set the external switch to flash bank 5678 (off on off off) or 12345678 (off off off off) though, X3LC tells me I'm flashing 5678 and 12345678 respectively.

After testing with various bios banks, it looks like the dip switch on my X3 has the first switch permanently off. This is my guess because I can't flash to the bios banks that require the first switch to be on (e.g. for 256k banks, I can't flash to banks 1, 3, 5, and 7. For 512k, I can't flash to banks 12 and 56.).

I contacted System-Mods (where I bought my X3 from), but they have a 7 day RMA policy and do not sell replacement switches.

Does anyone know how I might be able to fix the dip switches on my X3? Or does anyone know where I can buy another external dip switch for my X3 (without buying another X3 for it)?

Thanks,
gsinker

I just got off the phone with a System-Mods sales rep, who told me they do not sell any replacement switches whatsoever. I also talked to the guys in their IRC channel, (#SMT on EFNet) who told me the same thing.

Is it possible another reseller is selling replacement switches for the X3?

Rock. Thanks all for your help.

I think I'll pass on the X3 Pro Switch and wait for the Control Panel instead though. =)

Re: Bengals Team Box

Was just for cutout, already gave it back to him. Itd be
good idea, hard now though that the acrylic is already
glued and sealed to the case.

Good case cut though you did a good job for the fine details.
