Default Led Simm Works on 1 but not the other

My led simm gives me the right numbers for my box (coz I know my BK) but when i try to get my m8's bk it gives me the wrong BK, How come? I mean is that possible and how can I know where the problem is?

Cheers

How you mean wrong BK? You must already know the BK for your mate's box to say it's wrong so how come you are using an LED SIMM on it :|? Lol.

Is it fitted in properly or you will get a false reading, make sure it slides in straight as you tilt it upright, ive had that before .

Have any of your LED's blown? this would indicate false 'off' light

You need two pieces of wire, strip each end, take the back off a remote control and wedge each wire in each battery at the same end so you have 3 volts,you cant do it with a virgin one you need one where you can see the top of the batteries, if you look at the tracks on the back of the led simm, the end one on the left goes to all the top connections on the leds, hold one wire on that contact and brush the other wire along the contacts on the left side and they should light up in turn, if nothing happens reverse the wires it only works one way.
