LPT Problems Flashing BIOS

[rms2001]

It works with all PCs. Just some times its a pain to get it to work with some.
Like on mine, I have to pinch the chip and the programmer together while holding some presser on it to the parallel port.

Also a lot of times winLCP is the prob. This program is the biggest POS program ever written. It will work some times… I have talked to a lot of people who say to have to put the delay up so sigh it takes 30min to program the chip.

I would really suggest using wmilk to flash your Matrix. Its so much easier than trying to screw around with winLPC.

Heres a quick run down on how to program your Matrix using wmilk, don't mind my spelling errors.

Create a new folder and name it matrix on your C drive.

Put ntiosupp.dll, wmilk.exe, and your BIOS in this folder, and name your BIOS mybios.bin

Now your going to want to open a DOS command prompt. Start > Run > and type cmd or command and hit OK.

Now you need to change directorys. Do this by typing cd .. and hitting enter. Do this until you are in C:, then type cd matrix and and you should now be in C:\matrix.

Now heres the command line for wmilk to flash your Matrix.

wmilk -c -a ffc00000 -v -p mybios.bin

Just type that in and hit enter and let it do its thing.

Here is a pic of the DOS command promt. Its not 100% like how I said to do it, but you get the idea.


If you got any more questions, just ask.
