[luismxc]

Does anybody know of a cheap, permanent and efective material to unlock the cpu? you see, i live in Europe, and here, getting one of those conductive pencils is complicated!

Thanx!

You can just try a regular mechanical pencil.

They work fairly well, you may have to redo it once or twice a year, but if you want cheap you can't get any cheaper. I did see that bigfootcomputers has a fairly affordable unlocking kit that is permanent. The URL is http://www.bigfootcomputers.com/Merchant2/merchant.mv?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=Bigfoot&Product_Code=2315GCTC

(copy and paste it into your browser) The price is $20 Canadian, so really I don't know if it can get any cheaper.

Personally I use a Cross mechanical pencil, it has a very thick lead. It is a bit harder to apply well, but I don't have to redo the pencil nearly as often since it is a thick, quality lead.

Good luck!

Well, I can vouch to the fact that the following pencil will do the job:
