It’s a like a nasty little marketing gimmick -hey..like spam.

You can probably find more technical forums and mailing lists on reverse engineering the firmware anyway. I find discovering software bugs in embedded devices just as intriguing as the next person, but screw registering just to read a forum, the information isn’t -that- significant.

Tedious but not impossible.

Good luck!

upon further inspection i see burned out caps on the underside :o – anyone have a replacement power board for it?!

but, this is a good hack. other than the fact that you have to desolder/flash/resolder even though we all could do that with ease. but where to get a cheap programmer?
