Prism2s card flash

[Javier Sanchez]

HI all,

firstly thanks for the help, yesterday i was able to ressurrect my senao
card, i tried several commands using the dos flash utility.

I succesfully reflashed the primary and secondary firmware with 

flash -legacy -3v -on -i PK010101.HEX
flash -legacy -3v -g -d SF010409.HEX

Then i rebooted and the card was still dead, in my desesperation i tried
only 
flash -legacy -3v -on -i SF010409.HEX

Then i rebooted, and the card started to work again using the new
firmwares :-))))))))))))


Thanks again for your help
