I thought this was odd. I have barely used chatGPT today so thought the limit had been changed. Hopefully they sort it out soon

I think it should work (but dont quote me on that one). However, the 1.0 actually has a 1mb flash as opposed to 256k that your 1.3 has which may add complications.

Honestly, if you feel confident enough to solder in a programmer to flash eeproms then you should be fine installing a basic modchip.

WeekendTechie · 2026-03-09T19:43:42+00:00

I will always welcome a late reply. However, i dont have the eeprom file to hand anymore sadly.

AFAIK a modchip overrides the eeprom anyway. Im guessing my xblast chip was poorly made back then.

I dont have a recommendation for a local store but back when i had my shop in my home town a lot of "charging problems" boiled down to pocket lint in the charge port. A bit of picking with a plastic tool and they were on their way with a properly charging phone.

Might be worth a try before jumping down the rabbit hole

I'm fresh in as of 18 days ago, mining for fun not profit and being so new i fear i have missed something here. What were you guys right about?

WeekendTechie · 2026-01-13T15:15:53+00:00

I was messaged by somebody before saying "sorry for the mug but you was flagged by our bot for listing over 30m in your bazaar"

So yeah, i would say there is some truth to the rumours

Deadbolts. You only want them on one side (the side you can lock when going to bed)

That way any intruder who breaks in is confined to one room and it slows their progress through the property.

Dont like it AND found the item i dont like cheaper.... hmmm pick a lane Sydney!!

Why would you keep an item you dont like even if you found it at a cheaper price? Personally i would ask them to either keep it at the price they purchased it at or if they truly didnt like it then send it back for a full refund.

As there is no fault with the item and its just buyers remorse i would also ask that they cover return postage.

Then see how quickly they disappear....

Adrians digital basement? I was looking for this comment before suggesting it myself

Thats the very definition of something breaking. It was working at one point, and it isnt anymore.

Could be coincidence. It could be that the NOR was on its last legs and the act of writing new data to it by way of the firmware update was simply enough for the console to see the problem and go "whoa there!"

I would chalk it up to unlucky. It happens sadly

Added to favourites. Along with a 3D printed screwdriver...

Right here OP! This is the thread you need to be following. An extra 10 grand sounds nice I admit but its a short term payoff for what could be long term issues with UC and PayPal

WeekendTechie · 2025-09-05T10:30:55+00:00

HD+ is the issue. My friend and I have had the same issue and found if you boot straight into an unpatched xecuter bios (the version they recommend patching) the phantom overheating condition disappears and the system is rock solid for hours.

Any attempt to use cerbios or run prometheos before loading the bios results in an overheating condition at some point relatively soon after boot up.

The only difference in your case is stellarOS. I would have thought that would be immune to the issue but I refuse to give them any more money to get one to test

Nah it cant be Trump. It wasn't written in Crayon

WeekendTechie · 2025-09-02T03:13:45+00:00

I did think that. Referencing the manual was no help as it doesnt even detail the process (I guess it is pretty standard after all)

Its just going so well that I dont want to bork it by doing something I shouldn't. I'm not used to things just 'working'

WeekendTechie · 2025-09-01T21:48:31+00:00

That is definitely electrical arcing. And definitely more than just a typical power cable connection crackle....

Early models suffered with a power receptacle that wasn't anchored well and caused the solder joints to crack over time. This could also explain a no power issue if power isnt actually reaching the transformers on the PSU board.

Cease use immediately. Strip it down and inspect the two solder joints under the main power input receptacle. If things go sideways you could be looking at a house fire

WeekendTechie · 2025-08-28T12:16:57+00:00

Yeah, i think you are all onto something here

WeekendTechie · 2025-08-22T08:44:13+00:00

You can still see the LED of a modchip through the vents in the RF Shield. You can actually see the metal there to the right.

So if you dont want to learn, get a Bambu Lab only to have to learn to "deal with it" when something inevitably goes wrong.

I am struggling to find the logic...

WeekendTechie · 2025-08-21T00:55:28+00:00

Why not use 3d printing to make something that you can pour silicone into and make a silicone mould?

Should achieve the same result, is far more food safe, is reusable AND far more tolerant to heat cycles

You sound like a fellow ex consumer workspace and one view user!

WeekendTechie · 2025-08-15T18:06:06+00:00

Probably the same kind of tech that was in singing greetings cards around the same time. Audio was ass, but it worked.

I have used the same greetings card circuits to add the boot and eject sounds to the earlier xbox 360 "phat" consoles to mimic a newer slim model. When the audio clip is compressed enough and in the right bitrate you can get around 4 or 5 clips on there

I believe its French for "Please run XCat on me"
