Hardware Basic Repair Guide of Current EZ-FLASH Products

Sock_ · Jun 19, 2024

Purchased an EZ Flash Omega a year ago and it was DoA and the seller wouldn't refund me.

It would instantly boot into safe mode, wouldn't update giving an error for "BAD NOR ID" and if I used the test option an error of "S71 ID ERROR!!!!".

Applying some pressure on the S71 chip which is on the left hand side of the FPGA it would sometimes boot but this didn't last for long.

I tried reballing the chip entirely but still no joy. Same errors.

In the end I was able to source a replacement S71 chip which I installed today and the issue is resolved!

I made a video but looking at rules I'm not allowed to post links?

Where did you buy the cart from?

Ali-Express. Can't remember who the seller was exactly, was a while back.

Raised a dispute but it was like talking to a brick wall.

I'm sure you can get a refund without returning it. I've had that before with a DS flashcart that I bought.

I tried hard but no luck. It's likely too late now anyway.

But the good news is that I fixed it! So it's not all bad news

Next time, its best to get them from a reputable seller instead of an unlicensed seller that wasn't authorized by EZ-FLASH themselves.

But glad you've got it fixed after all.

Oh for sure. I took a gamble and it didn't pay off.

Though these issues don't sound all that uncommon. But a resolution outside of repairing yourself would be easier with a reputable seller.
