what chip is this, why replace?
The flash chip in the Solo2 to recover after the box has been bricked.
Having now done my flash chip swap, there was one thing I wanted to say. Although I practised on some old RAM chips thinking they were the same I couldn't have been any further from the truth. Yes the pin count was the same which led me to believe that what I was working and practising on was the same but I got a bit of a mini shock when I eventually got my flash chip and opened up the box to have a look at the work required. I think the picture below tells the story better
As you can see, they are not quite the same
Hi where are you guys getting the chips from?
I got my solo2 from mixe so should i be asking them to send me one out?
thnx
My supplier is sending me the chip from China
Still struggling to find someone to install it
Can anyone suggest someone i can pay to install the chip?
thnx
just got it back from console repairs done a good job tried the boot loader all updated ok then installed helios clone safe from AJT and it seems to be working ok but the wife is watching tv so cant connect it to tv yet
change chip insert usb with the file helios017 unrared to the root after update install clone safe image of your choice [ anyone needing chips let me know I have 2 spare £6.99 each including postage ]
if you read my post saying it had not worked after chip change the repairer had not reconnected the display ribbon cable simple mistake causing panic
it is working fine even able to down load plugins with the remote control
I was seriously considering giving the chip replacement a go myself, but my soldering skills are pretty poor, and I would have had to buy extra tools (heat gun thing) anyway so paying someone was/is a better option for me.
