iriver h1x0 - RTC (real time clock) mod
TaperChuck:
Yeah, our politicians decided to move the date up a bit ???
Peter200lx:
Just wanted to report a successful upgrade from the old RTC chip to the new one. ie, Now I don't have to worry about the play button lockup bug. Went quite smoothly, everything working great.
crypt@:
I won't call it smoothly performed, as it took 8hrs and killed 4 * DS3231(SN#). 24AWG wires are still unmanagable on these weak SOIC legs. All 4 chips sustained broken pins while trying to fit the chip into position on the motherboard.
The successfully installed chip is a DS3231S#.
Instead of completely straighten the legs, I only straighten the ends such that it is still angled to the body, but when placed on the board, the legs do not touch the surface. And also it is installed face upwards.
After jamming the fifth chip into the iHP-140, and closed out, it could not power up on battery. It was fixed by plugging in the charger, then powered on.
TaperChuck:
But, success in the end! Congrats!
crypt@:
Just a thought, shuffle is seeded by Mersenne Twister dued to lack of RTC on h1X0. Now that RTC on iriver is possible, is there a chance that the RTC can be used to seed the shuffle list?
