Er det noen norske folk her? Noen som kan flashe ViperGC? Seriøst, jeg trenger alvorlig hjelp, har prøvd ALT, og Divino folket sier at jeg må være HELT sikker på at det er chippen det er noe feil med, ellers får jeg ikke noe ny chip eller penger igjen.. _______________________ Anyone here from Norway? I need some help with flashing my chip, and the Divino people aren't exactly helpfull.. If there are any danish or swedes here, that would help too, I could send you the GC and chip and pay all the costs..

They are not plug and play and needs to be configured properly for the Viper. I assume you when through the appropriate settings in both you bios and Device Manager. Anyone that can help me flash my chip? Just get me started, and I can burn the next updates on DVDs. Thanks in advance.
Hello Pjoto I had the same Problem exaclty the same problem. But I had bought 10 Viper Chips . Ant the First one I installed had the same problem as yours I installed a new one and had no problems. Then I wanted to know what went worng with the first. The viper chip was OK. but the Flasher was screwed. The flasher was totally intact. But it didn't connect. I Vipered 3 more cubes and still No flashing with that Flasher. I measured everything in comparison with a working flasher but no succes. I'm Guessing your Flasher is also screwed don't remove the viper, Try going to a friend or sth that has a viper-cube and flash with Cobra v0.3+ or get your hands on another flasher. The future bioses (0.4+) don't require the flasher (unless you have a bad flash) you can flash from DVD. I hope I have helped you a bit.
Thanks, that helped somewhat, but I really don't know anyone with a flasher.. you mean the thing you put in your LPT1 port, right? BTW, speedi, where do you live?
