The other day I took a second to check my little serial LCD panel on my case for E-Mail and noticed my processor speed was down from about 1650mhz to stock speed. I went into my bios and saw that mult changes didn't take effect anymore! I never pictured myself re-unlocking my XP!
LMAO :D
What did you do ???
Did you use enough conductive laquer the first time? You may have just put a little bit on there and it wasn't enough.
That sux. :( Here's a tip, the next time you unlock your AXP place a layer of scotch tape over the pins to make sure it stays unlocked. Good luck. :)
LOL *** happened?
Wouldn't that tape melt and cause problems? I don't know so I might be wrong. That's why I'm asking but that doesn't sound appealing to me. :eek:Quote:

Nah, the core emits the majority of the heat while the organic packaging along with the pins stay relatively cool to keep the tape from melting away. :)Quote:

When I unlocked the old 1Ghz T-Birds, I always applied some clear nail polish over the bridges after they were thoroughly dry....no need to unlock again ;)
So was that in your own stash :p j/kQuote:

When I did it everything went perfectly. The job looked almost perfect, and checked out on my Ohmmeter and continuity tester. I havent moved the computer at all since I built it except for tipping it over for upgrades sometimes. I have used the glue thousands of times on model work, and the conductive laquer a few hundred. Maybe the glue expanded from heat and broke the connection.
LOL! The same thing happened to my friend 2 days ago!
