Xenium Completely Blank; Howto Reflash Xenium Os?

Hi guys & team OZXodus;

This weekend I have gotten my first batch of Xeniums and they are absolutely sweet.
The Xenium OS is wonderfull. The 4th generation is absolutely here!

Now I have installed about 10 units already and found out that 2 of them are completely blank.
I mean that the Xenium OS is just not present.
( Tested on v1.1 Xbox + verified D0 + standard AV cable )

Is there any way to re-flash the complete chip?
It is rumored that a new build of the Xenium OS is appearing soon;
Can this update procedure then be used to completely re-program / recover the blank Xeniums?
Keep up the good work !

where did you get those?

If you're getting a frag, then the "verified D0" doesn't count for much.  I think the chances are infinitely higher that the pin header is not secure than that the flashROM is blank.  Can you take a known working Xenium and pop it onto the pin header that one of the "blank" Xeniums previously resided?

I'd like to know where it came from as well...

I've done alot of Xeniums.. and haven't found a "blanked" OS yet.  (course.. human error can/will happen.. so I suppose it's possible)

People;

I install 10 - 25 chips per week.
Chips where gotten from a authorized reseller no need to put the name here.
My console is just fine;
I tested 10 chips on the same pinheader + verified D0.
8 out of 10 checked out; 2 didn't - right now a working Xenium sits in the unit and works perfectly.

That was all I asked.  No need to get worked up.
