Honey i've killed the sub!

help please

Having done a reasonal bit of research, i was taking the first step when everything went pearshaped.

I originally had the wrong prog'er so i decided to build myself the jaycar% unit. I put it together and fired it up with a 12v pac (the specs said a 9-12v would be ok), we had the green light working happily so it time for a test. But the only card i had was the sub so in she goes (1st err). started up fm4 on win98 laptop and went connect. FM started to work, but did not extract anything, just the hr glass, for a minute or so, so i killed FM in windows. Took out the card, put it back into the stb and holy sh*t. All channels scrambled.

Next day went and got a new goldie, tried to read it with fm, got some script this time but again she stalled.

then got myset a new 9v 150ma pac.(replaying the 12v) This appeared to allow the unit to read using Ausgold(win98) ,IRD2Calc-v125(XP & 98), CardHunter(98) & CB93(xp & 98)

Now this is all the data i have now when reading the damaged sub from
IRD2Calc:
Card Version IRDETO ACS v1.8
Ascii serial no A0000000003
Hex serial no. 00 00 00
no provider nos etc

Ausgold(win98):
ATR (Ascii) IRDETO ACS v1.8'
CoCo1 & 2 both blank
Priv IDs all blank
PMK 00 -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --
PMK 10 -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --
this is not good i know. I believe that the voltage diff may have nuked it.

Let this be a warning to new players. If you build anything make sure u test it completely (using DMM) and get the power supply right, or better still buy a ready made unit, but never ever initally test with your sub card.

I was hoping for any ideas
or some excuses to sweet talk f@*t*l, such as eg "my son borrowed it and tried to copy it for one of his one mates.

any help much appreciated (eventhough she's a 1.8 card)

Just break the card physicaly in two pieces and phone up foxtel and ask for a replacement saying that you got in a tiss with misses and she wasnt happy about you watching so much tv so she broke the tv card.
Worth a try

Make sure that the power supply has the negative pin in the middle!!

point to note, on the new jaycar (pic and eeprom) programmer the centre pin has to be set to positive.

Please dont post Keys!

If you have erased details and have no idea what was on it - then your up the creek

Does it still work? Does it give an error message?


EDIT: just seen date of original post,doubt he will still be waitting for a reply

soundlike you have the wrong programer?what did ya have.what i have seen about the self do it ones like jaycar i dont like it. Go get ya self an elvis may be a hundred bucks more but well worth it.thats my advice anyway.not saying that jaycar are no good just had no thing to do with em.

HEY U HAVE ISSUES MAN CAUSE U DIDN'T FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS, AND THE ONLY GREEN LIGHT ON THE JAYCAR IS THE SWITCH THAT CHANGES BETWEEN DOING THE PIC AND THE EEPROM! LOL. DID U TEST THE JAYCAR WITH A MULTIMETER AS DIRECTED? I HAVE MINE POWERED OFF THE 12V CONNECTOR ON MY PC. NO DRAMAS AT ALL. FOLLOWING THE GUIDES POSTED AND WORKING WITH OTHER NEWBS ON MSN CHAT I HAVE MANAGED TO NOT DAMAGE EITHER OF MY TWO SUB CARDS, AND HAVE PRODUCED THREE WORKING GOLDS WITH ALL CHANNELS.

GOOD LUCK MAN.
