Title: 3 Wire Trick Gone Bad
Post by: fr8ryder on September 11, 2006, 03:43:00 PM
hey all a couple yrs ago i flashed a 1mb tsop with a 256k bios  i used the 3wire trick to bring the box back to life
rather than remove the three wires and flash with 1mb bios i left the 3 wire trick soldered to the motherboard and booted off of one of the 4 banks with the 256k bios.... now a couple yrs have passed and i forgot that the 3 wires were still attached and the box was booting from one of the banks with a 256k bios well to make a long story short i flashed again the other day with a 1mb bios now the box frags what are my options now if there are any ? if possible i would like to fix without a modchip

LPC reader/wrieter, or modchip, I'd say.

thanks guys for the replies ... my reason for the 3 wire trick in the first place was i flashed a 256k bios to a 1mb tsop as a result it would only boot with th 3 wire trick, rather than cut the wire and reflash i just left the wires together and booted off the 256k it worked great like that for 2 yrs until the other day   only use raincoat for winbond and evo for all others to flash.... caster420 could you point me to a how too for booting off another bank ? tia
