Alex,I believe back in October someone said that you had said that there is a shortage of the chips required for SACD 1000 repair (30 left in the world, or something like that); and in another context you had mentioned that some of the replacement chips you had seen were also failing. Does your comment here mean that these are indeed the new chips that you have been using as *successful* replacements, or did you mean that these are the new chips--same as the old chips--that are still unreliable?
Alex told me that the FURORE in the pic unfotunately had a 40% failure rate straight outta the box and could only be determined in situ. We're still screwed. Thanks Philips... :-(
Got the MACE2 today, will post a pic in a bit. He says those are OK!

came today, philips can't even put the chip in the center of the packaging... effing slackers!
I got mine today and put them both in after 4 hours of tedious work and presto- nothing.Cd drawer comes out and does nothing.The laser jumps around.Power light doesn't come on.Still dead in the water.I used a solder station with hot air to install.There are 2 copper L-shaped clips I can't remember where to put them.Could be a grounding problem.I took off the front cover and I believe this if where they came from.I doubled check all connections on the chips for continuity to each solder joint under a magnifier.I could really use some help to see if it's worth salvaging.Is there a reset/reboot that I need to do?
yes you are right that the copper tabs go in the faceplate. At the bottom of the faceplate, near the two plastic tabs that insert into the base of the unit you will see two small rectangular openings. Insert one end of the copper tab such that the other end is turned up.Also, when you installed the new chips, did you completely desolder and remove the old ones? I am pretty handy with a soldering iron, but I don't have the fancy station you are talking about. Is it reasonable for me to think I can do this with a regular iron that has a very sharp and clean tip?
Finally, please see my various posts about emailing the Philips North America CEO and other sr. management about your SACD1000 experience. I am trying to bombard the top brass with emails in order to elicit some type of reasonable response from them.
