Hello everyone.

I`ve posted this in the overclocking section of the forum but no-one is answering so I`m trying here. Anyways this is the problem...

My old 2400XP popped (shorted) a few days ago. I took it back to the supplier who changed it for another 2400XP and this one won`t unlock the multipliers like the first one did. Number 2 is a lot different in looks ( circuitry is visible ). I`ve tried the wire trick and this has`nt worked.

Anyone?

Edit: My MB is an Epox 8K9A2 (KT400)

Is the stepping Codes the same as the one that shorted out?
