A very good customer of mine recently brought me a T-100 that someone had tried to hack.
I want to RESTORE IT to FACTORY SPECIFICATIONS for him.
I am an ADVANCED electronics technician with over 30 years experience.
I am a LEGITIMATE repair shop.
I DO NOT DO FREE TV.
My questions are;
A) Is there some kind of " write protected " sectors on the TE28F160-C3TD70 ?
B) Does this unit use some kind of non-standard sectoring ON the TE28 ?
1) The unit powers up but gives NO DISPLAY.
2)The unit will NOT accept a write from the " updater " software.
3) ALL voltages are present on main board and within the chips data-sheet specs.
4) There are NO missing parts , and no damaged traces or via's.
5) The Sti and TE28F are both recognized and properly initialized when jtagged. (I re wrote a jkeys "def" file to support every mode the TE28F160-C3TD70 data sheet SAYS it can support)
6) It APPEARS to " go through the motions " in both the flash programming and in the development panel ...( used the factory bin from your site) ... but the unit refuses to come back to life.
I am NOT looking for a return authorization to have YOU fix it ... ( I KNOW you support your customers with quality products and services ...and have legitimate concerns over quality control and product liability ) ... and I would USUALLY just give the customer a stern lecture on buying used equipment from "shady" characters ...but this is a loyal customer, and sometime I have to EAT the cost of a " dog repair " to keep THIS kind of customer happy.
ANY help you can give me would be greatly appreciated.
