**Winbond - W49F020T TSOP FLASHING**
Winbond W49F020T-90B TSOP
Connexant Video Decoder
v. 1.3 XBOX I think
Ok heres the deal. I read just about every post there is about flashing this brand TSOP. So many people have had problems with this chip. I think the reason for this is that there are so many variants of xboxes out there, and for most of the v. 1.2+ XBOXes flashing the TSOP only requires you to solder the 2 points on top of the motherboard seen
HERE.
But for me it was different. I was using raincoat to flash my TSOP and I had those 2 points soldered perfectly. I tried over and over again, with every different version of raincoat, and it just would not flash. I decided that maybe I needed to solder the point on the bottom of the motherboard seen
HERE. But every post I read and every person I spoke to in #XBOX and #xbox-scene, all told me that I only needed to solder the points on top. They told me this was the case for every XBOX out there. Well NOT MINE!!!!.
I decided to solder the bottom point, and WALLAAAA - the TSOP flashed 1-2-3. Dont believe what everyone is saying!! It may be necessary for u to solder that bottom point in order to flash ur TSOP. It was, for sure, in my case.
I ended up using the raincoat version that comes with the MechRaincoat (MechAssault save game with Raincoat). I dont remember exactly where I found this file ( I downloaded it last year), but I know there was a link to it somewhere on the boards.
Hope this helps someone, and saves them alot aggrevation
