alrights chaps ive got x3 sb5100 all with the power lights flashing 1 one them i bricked when i tryed to flash it the other 2 did have sigma x2 on them and were running fine untill me m8's daughter turned the plug switch on and off a few times and now they seem bricked aswell.

ive got jtag utilty but it wont detect them and its the same on blackat, if i can detect them then i can put them back to stock settings but at the moment i just dont know wot else to do

By "they had to be TSOP", do you mean they needed to be lifted and re-programmed?

TSOP lift on SB5100?

Why couldn't they just be JTAG'd?

BL4K3Y · 29-07-09, 01:30 AM

I was thinking that but i've been told a TSOP lift works as well lol.

Cor blimey! A lot of hard work though eh when you can just connect the good ole' JTAG.

Haha yeah but if he's anything like me then he won't even be able to solder the pin header on lol.

i try to j.tag em back to life but it would not detect them. i did't need to solder the header as i got a couple of press fit type headers which u can normally re-use around 10 times. i got a buddy of mine to do the tsop operation hopefully thay will stay in good working order now. so far so good
