I have a 2.2 lite+, and its bios seems to have been spontaneously erased recently. so i bought the programmer thinking it would solve my problems, but it hasnt helped anything...my 'box still frags when the modchip is enabled.
1. when i connect the ground wire from the chip to the programmer, the whole thing is shorted, causing the 2 red leds to go off, and causes my comp to restart if its connected usb. should i just connect the external switch to the chip instead? or does that cause it to not write/reflash correctly?
2. has anyone had an instance of x2cable completing the reflashing process, but the bios does not seem to work? because x2cable says it finishes writing every time, but the 'box still frags
3. i read on another post that xp has problems w/ either the programmer or x2cable, and that 98 is more compatible. has anyone else run into this problem, and if so, is it rather obvious that its having problems?
4. the blue external led no longer works, got burned out...is it used as just a signal for the chip or does it act as a diode, actually directing the flow of current, and might be causing the malfunction?
I'm not quite sure if this is a bios problem, or a reflashing problem, or a bad chip problem, etc., but any help/advice would be much appreciated.
