Okay... Its Dead Jim... Any chance i can harvest the GPU or CPU and use it something else? (ex. an Ibook G3 powerPC i have laying around)
or any other peices parts in it? Like i said the TSOP is the only problem with it. Otherwise it works fine.

GPU/CPU arent worth anything, get yourself a chip and fix it.

Modchips that can control an LCD display are not available anywhere and are very hard to come by even used.

psyko_chewbacca is working on a new modchip that will be able to control an LCD display. Truly our best hope, be patient.

Xenium modchip, 20 X 4 line blue backlit with white caractor display to suit. I have one of each of those I can part with. Both brand new and best of all, we are in the same country all be it on each side of it. :lol: You tell me what you are prepared to pay and we may be doing a deal. I have 3 Xeniums all up and the displays are easy for me to get so I can part with these I believe. You'll be testing the setup because I never have and doubt I'll have a need for this many Xeniums. I was tipped off that these were the last available and bought all I could get at the time. Tell me what you want to do.

nope, you need a mod chip with the special interface.
