Mr Wang is sending me a pre-programmed flash chip to replace my corrupt one.I already removed the old one with a hot air gun.
REMOVING is easy for nearly anybody, you could even clip every lead individually, and then unsolder one at a time if you had to depending on what sort of IC package it is. I've done 56 lead packages, using an over head microscope type headpiece and a micro soldering iron. The hard part is resoldering it without getting solder bridges and such. Since he already is this far along, I'm going to say he knows what he is doing. Anyway, what does he have to lose, the receiver is dead now.
the flash chip is only 8 pins and looks like the old eeproms, just slightly fatter.
I may try making my own programmer from old flat solid conductor ribbon cable stripped from old dvd players.
I think spipgm should do the trick,for future use.

Using the newest X2 firmware, just one day's experience. Some motor control USALS hangups, sometimes calling up a satellite seems to be ignored. If I go into the USALS screen and select the "GO" button, then the dish gets the command to move. Tonight the problem was moving from 91 to 97, last night I could not move dish off 125W until I rebooted. (hadn't thought of the GO function at that time so I didn't try it then). Still some minor glitching in the SPDIF output on dolby channels, brief cutouts for about 1second, some static, then sound returns. And I wish they would fix that ALL CHANNELS thing, so the receiver stays on the channel list of the sat it has just scanned.
None of these are show-stoppers but hopefully they get addressed in a future firmware tweak.

After seeing all the issues on the OTHER site too I decided to stay with the may 20. Damn shame putting the new sat list with the old firmware is such a pain in the neck.
I have not had the issue with the optical audio, but I will keep an eye out for it.

Another issue is for a fixed dish the default diseqc position is position 0,so if you have a motorized setup or combo fixed and motorized this is a nuisance.Every time you set up a different sat for diseqc control the motor goes to position 0 first then the position you are trying to set up.I told him the default for a fixed dish should be no diseqc commands out of the receiver,so the motor should behave when you are setting up a motorized system for diseqc control.

I noticed that too and it does it in win2k also.
Whatever they used to make it( microsoft visual studio?) may have those dlls and the installer may just assume everybody has them
