Jimbo i've got in to the eng menu but don't know what im looking for to see if the card is paired to that box? could you help please

[jimbo]

flick the pages until u see card status i think, never had a paired card lol.

[technovice]

Jimbo when the card is the top slot (normal slot) it says card status removed but when i put it in the bottom slot it say please wait do you what this means?

[jimbo]

forget top slot, it may well be paired, have u an unlooper? pricey may be cheaper with a jtag.

[technovice]

i don't have a unlooper at the moment, but i suppose 9/10 the cards will not be paired,blocked ect. so it will have to be a jtag then but are they easy to use? and is it a case of one size fits all or do you need a different ones for certain models.

solder jtags are same for pace or sammy, pogo ones have different ends either pace or sammy.

Thanks reddiesel for the reply

because im not good at soldering i should just get a pogo jtag then? and doe's jtaging involve any unsoldering to be done?

[reddiesel]

No soldering you just push it down on the points, they can give problems with connection sometimes, i prefer to solder.

[reddiesel]
