Title: Chameleon V1.3 Dead?
Post by: thepreacher on October 03, 2004, 11:58:00 PM

I'm trying to salvage a guy's box and I'm not having any luck with his chameleon chip.
Solderless adapter works great, I can put a xenium on it and no problems so its not a lpc or d0 problem.
Chameleon will not light up or boot to anything.  Tried all dip switch settings.  I even tried to hotswap the chip so that I could just flash it but when I pull my good chip off and replace it with the chameleon the video goes grey and box locks up?

any thoughts???
thanks

Try bending the pins one the solder less adapter to see if it is just one of the pins are not getting a good enough contact.  Also I assume that your soldeless adaptor is for the chameleon chip.  I know that the xenium and the chameleon are the manufactor but there are some differentces in the solderless adapter requiremnts.  Like the chameleon could need pin 2 and not the xenium.  When a seller sells a chameleon solderless adaptor it will work for the xenium when they sell a xenium solderless adaptor it might not work with the chameleon.
