V4, Matrix Inf. Programming Failed?

jaac · 01-26-2005,03:26 PM

hi there ppl,

i modded a v4 with a infinity, and when i turn it on normal, the screen stays black (also with controller plugged in), but when i turn it on by pushing the power button until the blue eject led turns, and put in the upgrade cd, it will start booting, and finally boot the cd (v1.38)...

but when i press start to flash the chip, it says programming failed!!

can any1 help me out on this!

thx in advance, greetz Me

think you have to check the bios connections

Goodluck

thx 4 your reply jemico

i've checked if they made contact to eatchother, e.g. pin 1 and 2, 2 and 3, and so on, i also measured if the wires where connected properly but i don't c any errors

i also can add that i've switched chips and resulting the same problem...., i'll check my wires again, but it think they are ok...

some other advice?

Are these genuine Infinitys or clones ? 'cos clones can't be flashed or altered. If they are genuine, you've probably got a wire in the wrong place or something - can you scan your installation for us ?

modded a few v4 with mx4 same message as your gettin put programmed infinity in works no problem

thx for all your reply's

i've switched chip with an already working flashed one but still with the same result, i get a black screen on boot, but it still is possible though to load the upgrade cd when turned on by pressing the power button for a long time!! but i won't try that because the chip is 100% properly flashed...

i guess i'm gonna remove the chip and see how it works then tommorrow, but any more help is wanted...

(btw these are genuine matrix infinity chips)

Grtz Me

Sounds like a wiring problem, then.

jaac · 01-27-2005,07:35 PM

now i carefully fitted in a allready OK! infinity, checked all the wires again, and the same problem occurs!!

black screen on normal boot..

Argh! i can't find any errors, plz help me out on this one..

thx again Grtz Me

tug on the bios wires (on the chip and the pads), if they come off resolder until they cannot be pulled off.
