You need some serious kit for this one I believe...ffice

ffice" />>>

I looked into this one a while ago and if I remember correctly the chip is under the board so the box will have to be dismantled.>>
>>
You will then have to buy a chip programmer, I can’t remember exactly which one but its a few quid... the TSOP56 adapter for the programmer alone was about £65!>>
>>
Don’t forget about the removal and soldering of the chip... hope you are a confident!>>

I may have some info on it like, maybe a tut... I'll have a look and get back to you.>>

It can be done.>>

I was wondering if you still have this file i downloaded the attachment but it was currupt, any help? Thanks

Hello there... nice to see someone searching for info instead of just posting.

Here's the file mate... unzipped it before posting and seems fine. If you want it emailing to ya, PM me with your email addy and i'll shoot it off for ya. Maybe unzip before sending?

The file size is 183kb which is over the max upload size for this type of file on this forum (maybe that is why it is corrupt on the server). I have therefore changed the file extention to a .txt which has a max upload size of over 900kb therefore allowing me to UL for ya! Hope this makes sence to ya?

You will have to change the file extention from .txt to .rar in order to open it.

There's 3 doc's in this folder... 2x jpg and 1x doc

I have quite an archive now of images, files and tut's etc... so, if you get stuck let me know and I'll see what is here to help ya!

Hit the thanks button mate!
