EDIT: Nevermind. Started poking at the pins with my continuity tester and saw one move when I prodded it. Soldered it down then fired up the tivo. Viola, she works! Successful socket job using chipquik and a 12w iron :D
Looks like the prom that I programmed in the s2 dtivo using getprom works good as well as I just popped it in there and its showing the 'welcome powering up' message.
Time to join the "hacked tivo hd" club soon as I start mucking with the hard disk :D
So I just finished putting the socket on my Tivo HD, had no problems removing the prom, but putting the socket on was a pain. Anyways, thought I was finished and plugged it in, but it doesn't start.
Anybody out there got any kind of schematic so I can know where I should try testing continuity on each point in case one of them isn't on there good enough? Or perhaps a map of which pins should touch something so I can just start hitting points, and which ones might not matter so I don't need to worry if they don't contact anything?
