brick is not possible retrieving the key , the only possible damage you can cause would be bad elettrical power connections or short-circuit ... but not a software brick.

Simply get the key 2 or 3 times to be sure that is a stable value and you will not have any problem.

Hi, i have made a very basic spear in preperation for when my ck3 pro arrives.

can someone confirm for me that i have done this right? (obviously it still needs connecting to the ck3, will do that when it arrives)



thanks

just to let everyone know, my ghetto spear works :-) (tested it with a battery and bulb).

lol, nice.

by the way, I wasn't knocking your spear earlier on, just making a point to the other dude!

Half of doing these things it's the money savings aspect, the other half is the fun in doing it.

So ghetto or not, if it works and you had fun then that's all it matters

lol, no offence taken at all mate, actually laughed out loud when I read "ghetto spear"  

thanks for the info as well, still may use your method if i can find a screw driver small enough.


cheers

By the way....How much do you charge for one of these spears incase my screw driver method doesn't work?

May I present my quick and dirty alternative. I shall name it "needle in a cork".



You can even do this "solderless" if you want but I went for extra "security" and soldered it. However I only connected it to the removed pin from the drive-side connector because I'll have to return my CK3 unmodified.

Howlong do you need to hold the  "probe" in the hole? Till it's completly dumped? Or longer?
And do you have to connecte the "probe" pin to wire 11 of the power cable? Which is wire 11?

Once you see the key appear you can remove the probe.. take a look at my pic on the first post in this thread, it is the top left wire as you look at it
