On the ones that work but give you a service error: if they're using the OEM BIOS, they won't be able to use any other hard drive - locked or unlocked.

On the ones that don't work: check the board to see if the flash-enable points on the board are bridges.  If so, it may be a TSOP flash gone bad.  You can just install a mod (even a pogo mod) and reflash the TSOP with the OEM BIOS or a hacked BIOS.

Hey xeero, i have a tsop pogo pin device to program tsop on dish receivers I can line up the tsop with it should be able to program it with x2bm with the lpt port I beleive. or is there a different program used to flash mod should I use winlpc instead? or do you have any other suggestions.
