Old Board Non PH

[JaV]

I have a 240684-011-99-RA. This is described as an Old Board and I read on here the following "To use BDM, hardware watch dog must be disabled. One easy way is to lift the capacitor of C105." Do I Solder it off or cut it off? Does it need to go back on there? Also after I lift it does the power have to be switched on? Any help on this would be greatly appreciated

You just lift one of its legs off of the board.

CUt it Off. The box works jusr fine with out it.

is there any other way around this without messing with the capacitor.

If you want to do BDM you need to do it. No other way found yet.

it is another way get your self a ph 7,8 or 9 theres your other way friend

maybe he can use a thin wire to short the C105

Maybe a Good Way to Screew Up the Box for Good.

i just cut the resistor right off with a pair of side cutters and they work just fine...very very easy to do...now i don't know if cutting that off will effect it if you want to go and sub that box in the future or not..maybe someone else can verify that part...

If you are worried about it then why not just cut one leg and then solder it back? It's not really a good idea to mod subbed equipment if you don't own it. Like Tundra said shorting the capacitor might not be a good idea.

It depends on the jurisdiction you are in. In most countries or states, tampering with any kind of utility box on the street or in a home may well be considered to be criminal. If the tampering results in damage, which is likely, charges of criminal or malicious damage may apply. If the tampering is with a view to obtaining services without paying for them, offences of theft or fraud might be considered.
In most jurisdictions, fines may be considered but the offences are also very likely to carry a jail term as well as or instead of a fine.

Just do this when its time to return the box goto the power supply and just short it out then return it. Cc get 100s of broken units in every day their not going to examine the unit when you return it so stop panicking the boxes have a lot of wear and tear on them already and cc knows that.once they sign off and replace it its all on them .if they dont detect when you returned the unit if it was tampered with and they replace it its all on them if they find out later the box was tampered with they will have to prove you did it by then the unit was handled by hundreds of other people so keep testing bud.
