Well, I was doing the crayon method... and was scraping the crayon and the protective layer off of the gold stutds (i have a greenie) .. and well.. now i see extra gold next to 2 of the dots.

do you think i should continue the unlock? .. i haven't put on the conductive stuff yet. i don't think I can avoid the little spots where the extra spots poppe up.

i don't have a digital camera.. so i'll draw somethin up.

Yes! I had the same problem after my first overclock, sealed those new exposed copper spots and then applied the conductive grease/paint and it worked! Otherwise it would only boot at default multiplier (when it would even boot).

Superglue (be very carefull not to get any on the pins) or silicon stuff (like the gap filler stuff that comes with the highspeedpc.com kit).

What about clear nail polish?

never used it, but I imagine that would work too

(basically anything non-conductive that will stay put!)

I did the same thing but my copper was so exposed it basicly touched the dots so it still works but it will never unlock. I tried everything to get it to work.

Good Luck.
