Change vu duo from v2 to v3

[mrblue]

Has anyone been able to change v2 chip on the duo to a v3, think they can be bought for a few dollars from china if you have the skills to solder it on...

would you risk it to brick the box completely?could the rest of the box be overpowered?

i wouldnt attempt it unless really skilled in electronics repair. the boxs run fine on the earlier kernel/driver based images and unless the image update is absolutley needed i wouldnt bother personally,regards mdt

[digicon]

your gonna need some serious soldering skills to attempt this.

[mrblue]

Ive done a bit of pcb soldering in the past, not an expert by any means.

But will wait and see if anyone makes a go of it...

Has anyone got the vu+ solo and duo VIX 3 image with old drivers...

[cactikid]

did i not read you have to do a full flash install as it was all rewritten.?

I am sure that you will not get away with just replacing the v2 chip for a 3 as the memory wright speed is faster on the v3 so that is 2 more chips to replace.
Hope you have a microscope and a very steady hand.

Good look!

ive fixed a few boxs with a bit of soldering but i wouldnt attempt doing whats required. imho its a farse from the ferrari team and they should be ashamed,regards mdt

No to mention that they don't actually do anything as yet.
Still waiting for the update which will allow v3 boxes to use the latest images. Ferrari team are sh**

It's not worth upgrading to version 3 at the moment. My cousin brought one and the tune failed issue is more frequent. Stick with version 2, it is a bit more stable.
