guys,
I have come to the conclusion that matrix chips SUCK. I've had my matrix chip for almost a year and every 2-3 months the chip wants to go and turn itself off. I have been using the drop your xbox routine for months now and it works but is still very agrevating. I have found that one of the pins on the chip gets stuck up inside the chip causing the connection to be broken. I have crimped the pin down in place and secured the chip down with extra washers and still the same thing happens every two months. I have painfully come to the conlusion that it might be time to try another chip and go the sautering route. Just a thought, best of luck to you
