According to this post, http://www.cngba.com/thread-16063196-1-2.html , some people got the MML to go into sleep mode by covering pin 1 and 7 using tin foil, anyone know if it will also work if I darken it with maker?
if you're talking about this:
it looks like they used foil to jumper pin 1 to pin 7
yes, it would seem so.So to check, if I short those two pins, sleep mode works?
Yeah that's what I thought.
cant you just crack it open and sodder it?Â
1) Basically I just cut them really small and then lined them up. Then I used the side of a finger nail file and kinda wedged the foil into the pin "slot." took me a bit but it finally worked. The trick is you have to make sure the foil covers the whole pin. I was just covering half of the pin at first and it wouldn't work.Just wondering if anyone else on here has tried this?
Thinking about doing it myself, need a few things cleared up tho:
1) How do you get the strips of foil on each pin to actually stick?
2) Are the 2 strips connected to the big square bit (so the pins are joined)? Or is it just covering 2 pins? - I guess joined but just making sure
3) How does it work?!
Cheers
