SA Explorer 4200DVB Help

Can anybody tell me how to change the Net ID? I am no good at soldering so that route isn't really an option.

Thanks

then the net id is gonna stay as it is then if you wont solder pal as far as i can remember there is a 1024/512 chip located some where on the board it has to come off and be blanked with either all ffffffffffs or all 00000000s then use a fun card to set it

lifting the chip is easy i do it all the time

its a 512 chip and its u2007. i'm playing with one at the moment. i can get the chip blanked and back into the box, i can make my netid fun or atmega, it reboots and starts to update and thats all. i cant get in eng menu after that untiul i blank the chip again.

So I need to desolder the chip, blank it (will my Elvis programmer do it?), solder it back onto the board and then set the Net ID with a Funcard?

thats the idea blakey yeah. dunno about the elvis but you can try, the willem 'works' take a dump of the chip before you write anything to it. let me know how you get on. i'm struggling with one of these at the moment. i get to the point where i've put the card in, it resets and just trys to update and stays like that. maybe ot has a faulty tuner. but it wont let me into eng menu again as its in this update loop.

Ok, I can't do anything until I find my soldering iron

. Haha.

the pads aren't as fragile as the 8300. i've soldered this chip on and removed it about 8 times now and the pads are still looking good.

a bit of meths is a good idea........ not to drink (at first, lol) but to wipe off the flux and crap with an earbud.
