    Well done si1verfish
    [*]Still new..? check the wiki. [*]Your shares gone for no reason ? Create a machine shortcut. [*]Trashing the G-adapter? upgrade cheaply to N. [*]Getting the hang of it? get organized .. add share shortcuts. [*]Getting sick of it ? it never hurts to rant here [*]Wishing for the time machine? give your PBO a makeover. [*]Bricked it while doing so ? unbrick it for $5[*]Not into cross flashing? keep it semi-official [*]Too lazy to read all that ? you asked for it.[*] Thank U PBO

    Money is not an issue; and by that I mean that I have so many electronic component in boxes and laying around that I am pretty sure that I can find one that will fit kicking around; time .... well that's another story. On this note time to go !!!!

    Default SW3 Switch

    I made the mistake that I have noticed others did and tried restoring the defaults and ended up with a black screen. I tried all the suggestions I could find, even picked up up crossover cable to try my luck with that but I could not get an IP address to work. Thanks to all who came up with the SW3 switch as that worked great. I was not able to make contact with the solder points from the back of the board but it was only a few more screws to get at the front and it worked flawlessly.

    Thanks again and thank god for the forum.

    Actually, I would probably use such a button.
    Salvage any momentary from any discarded ATX computer case. Can't get cheaper than free.

    I was nearly bricked in an endless reboot cycle and the information in this thread saved my box. I had to do it like Monty did, but my box is living and breathing again. My hat is off to you guys!

    So far this is all we know: http://patriotmem.com/forums/showpos...7&postcount=22

    SW4 is still a mystery.
