Re: UPsoluters - To socket or not to socket? (mrkrad)
quote:[HR][/HR]Anyone can really flash those Tsop packages with a small (similar to jtag) device hooked into your printer port. Been doing this on my dish network box (hehe) for a long time, didn't realize until recently the tsop package was the same chip.[HR][/HR]
First let me say I'm no electronics expert. But, according to UPsolute, their chips can't be flashed because their software has a password that locks out the wrong people. AKA FLASHERS!
UPsolute simply flashes your chip with their software which has a password that only an UPsolute rep has to be able to get into if you want your chip back to stock specs.
