I already knew that guide, but thanks for link.
ok, so that's what your discussion was all about. I just didn't get the thing about the painting a "U" around the lasercut?

He`s saying paint a u around the lasercut to see if it is indead the copper that makes it work.
Joe: Welcome to the XTREME! ;)
the thing that i will do with my powercolorx800 is the next :
filling de laserlock with glue , scratch the 2 points , putting silver glue from point to point ent test it :P
More balls than brains, eh? Well I understand. I did it too, but I wish I wouldn't have. It's the sickness! We have to do it!:(Quote:

Can`t see why it would be. It the same as the AXP mod we all did back in the day. Once you scrape the points your card`s warantee is stuffed so who cares if you put a bit of superblue on that lasercut? Not going to hurt.
No, my card is fine. There is some risk that you could :banana: up your card but it is minimal if you are careful.
If I ever need to RMA the card for any reason I will be :banana: 'ed.:D
yup but by the amd xp mod you did not have to scratch the points...
bioblade have you done yours yet? I have a powercolor x800 in 1 or 2 days so I'm curious if your card worked out
Hi Goldlocke :)
I wonder if the mod also works without flashing to the XT biops.
Biobade good luck with your card, people here have tried with the PWC cards but it didnt work.
after reading a post on r3d it seems someone has got the mod working on a HISX800Pro also, but it still seems like a low percentage working right now :(
I think its very strange that so few cards works with the mod. Powercolor says "up to 16 pipelines" on their site. There must be some way to enable them I dont think that so many cards have broken pipes

pics of the card, tomorrow i am going to mod it
That`s a nice looking bundle. Pitty u about to beat the poo poo out of it :up:
got an extra pic

my next question is , should i fill up the laserlock ? or isn't that nessesary ?
Something tells me this was never meant to be:
Back in the 9500np day, people tried it, it worked, but image was messed up... but that at least proved that the extra pipelines existed in the core (although they were defective).
Don't hold your breath expecting it to work (ever)... although it would be nice if it did. I guess ATI learned they have too much to lose if they ship modifiable cards.
so all you guys say, its better to do it not.... ?
You have to pay if you want to play. I tried it so I certainly understand why you want to do it, bit the potential gain doesn't outweigh the risk.Quote:

I know people who have gone out and bought close to $100 worth of tools to do the mod. If you are going to do that you may as well buy an XT. Then if something dies you can RMA it and get a free card. You mod the pro and you won't be RMA'ing it.
The only difference between your core and Chris`s is yours says 0414AA while his is 0416AA. Maybe this core (6AA) is the one that can mod? BioBlade it`s upto you dude. I for one would like to see if you can do it. But then loosing your warantee sucks...
yep , but the only thing i would like to know , is that you have to fill up the hole or not ?
Well why not try it like with the Athlons first i.e close the hole with superglue and paint over it. If that does`nt work then scrape it off and do it the way Chris did by going all the way into the copper.
Next week I'll get my Sapphire X800Pro
I think I'll try the mod. :) I'll report if it works.
i did the pencil tric but that wont work.... still have 12 pipes
Pencil trick does`nt work from what I`ve read in other forums. Will have to paint it with conductive silver paint/ink.
