Last Effort With A Duox2 Chip
« on: March 10, 2006, 10:00:00 AM »
If it is working like 1 in 10 it is definitely your soldering.  When you resoldered things, did you also resolder the female pinheader.
  the times it doesnt work, do you get the blink red light on the mod chip?

Perhaps you have a DuoX2 clone.
There's tons of them out there.

Where did you get your chip? I've installed over 100 of them without problems.

I also checked the pinheader this morning (the female ones) and everything is fine there too. They are perfectly soldered on those points.


When you checked the soldering on the female pinheader did you just look at it or did you take a multimeter and check for continuity to the points where they connect?  Sometimes the female pinheader on the modchip looks good but the gold contact circles may not be making good contact with the traces they are suppose to on the modchip, only way to check is with a multimeter.  If there is no continuity then take some 30awg wire and it should fix it.

Sounds like you are confident on your soldering so I'm pretty sure if yo replace the chip, the new one will work fine.  I have run into a couple of these Duox2 chips that do this.  Sometimes it was the female pinheader, but other times it was the chips on the actual modchip, what I did was I reasoldered some of the legs of the chips on the Duox2 and that fixed the problem.

hope that helps

I noticed a contact was not being done properly

modx15 looks like you jumped to a wrong conclusion.
The first thing people jump on with any chip is the chip is no good. Usually as in this case the chip0 is not the problem
Glad its sorted
