Gold Member Username: NydasPost Number: 5216 Registered: Jun-06 | damdoom: Do you see b75 flashing accros? You should see that if you do not click on "Write", and then it should stop at some point and say "ON". If you see that then you are OK. You should next try to load an older jvvh BIN like jvvh_213. This time wait for "b" to come on and then click write. Finish the Burn, and wait till the b75 dance is over and then wait for "ON" to come. Switch off Now install CS_224T the same way. as jvvh_213. |
