problem with duron 850!!! Frustrating! Unlockable??

[picardal]

Ok i was wondering how accurate the pencil trick was... Because ive tried unlocking my processor 5 times now and i still cant seem to get it done! Why!!! ?
With the same pencil i easily joined the L7 bridges... (Running at 1.85 volts) I cant seem to be able to change the multiplier... Every time I reboot after changing the settings in my bios--- It keeps telling me that my processor is at 850!!! Annoying ! Is my processor unlockable??? That Cant be right?

Im running this on an iwill kk266 mobo...with a cooler master that keeps it cool around 36-37 degrees. Also---- With a creative geforce 2 mx that overclocks real well . But I want to overclock my processor 2! And taking my hs/fan on and off is scaring the crap out of me!

Please help me out guys!
Thx!!!

well, did you press really hard? the lines have to be virtually black, have you tried conductive ink?

EDIT: Hell i just realised that u said L7 bridges, you need to do the L1 bridges
not L7

You could try another pencil. I used 3B from my pencil shading kit I have , it seems to work better than the HB pencil in the same kit. I also bought the defogger repair kit which can be had at Auto Zone for ~$8. I found it extremely difficult to apply though ( you need a needle )

My pencil overclock has lasted ~6 months.

I used this pencil for unlocking mine. The price is good and it's basically metallic ink. What I like about it is the small tip.

I have tried 2 different pencils... Hmm maybe i should try that mettalic pen..
Also, I know its the L1 bridges we have to connect to change the multiplier...
I have done it b4 on a 600 duron, but it actually worked that time...
Heck Im gonna try another pencil--- a better quality one this time Well see if it works--- Pretty please, work
