I unlocked 2 XP 1600+'s and with one I am missing the .5X mutliplier. All the other multipliers work, tested from 6 to 12, and anythign ending in .5 didnt work.

While the other XP is working just fine....

So my question is, anyone knwo what L1 bridge conrolls the .5 multiplier? So i dont have to do them all over again....

this is what the unocking looked like using winshield defroster...
(pic is before i cleaned up the second bridge to the left with the 3rd)
 
i think i should also mention this....
if i set to a .5 mutliplier it works as the same number without the .5

ex: i set 7.5, it works as 7
 
Looks like you have the conductive paint/grease touching the little triangle. I believe that may be causing your problem.
 
L1 bridges 2-3 at the bottom seem to be touching as well. Try cleaning it off and do it again. By the way take a thin razor blade or some sort of blade and just wipe it in between the bridges carefully and see if that helps.
 
said i did clean 2-3 up after i took the pic....

Guess they just need to be redone. (other CPU was fine)
must have a bad contact....
but i ask once again, Anyone know what bridge does what?
 
It's the first one.. It's connected to the "triangle". I would use a needle to scratch in between to clear the connection. I used an exacto knife, once, and I put a scratch in the coating. Be very careful not to put a scratch through the surface.
