Unlocking Duron permanently

[CMO23]

hi guys.... nembie in the house...

i was wondering what you guys though was the best/easiest way to connect the L1 bridges on my Duron 700 permanently. ive been using a pencil, but ive had to re-connect the bridges almost every week. ive read from other forums that you can use a rear window defrosting kit... has annybody else heard this or know where i can get one? ive checked both auto zone and kragen, neither of which knew the product even existed! thanks in advance for any helpful info...

Auto Zone should have the "Rear Window Defrogger Repair Kit". Most likely by Permatex or Locite. Or you can try to get a conductive Pen. I got one from Microcenter for $13. Both work great. Just need some practice to get it right.

I gots a partially used bottle I will send you for shipping costs if you want it...Of course I don't have the brush that came with it but you can lots of things to apply it with..

hey guys,
thanks for the info... i dont know why the auto zone here in OC, CA doesnt have the rear window kit... what state are you guys in? could it be called something else possibly? what exactly is in this 'kit' that im lookin for?

Sinmen:
ive never used a conductive pen before either... is the nib as small as a mechanical pencil? theres a microcenter in my area as well... i can check w/ them if i cant get the rear window kit...

thanks again guys =P

i got mines at a Pep Boys in San Diego, i am sure i saw it in the LA branch as well, good luck finding it, remember u want the watery one in a little bottle, not the gooey one

i used conductive paint to bridge the L1 gaps on my duron. I used a cocktail stock to paint the paint on and it worked first tme. You can get the paint from maplins or another eletrical store.

I posted this on another thread as well. When you get to this URL, click search and then in the search box type Conductive pen A little expensive, but it beats having to pull your cpu every time it quits workin right.

DOPE!!!

hey guys, i got the Loctite Electronically Conductive Rear Window Defogger (part#21351)... it came w/ two items, and im not sure which one to use, or how to apply it. the first, an adhesive liquid that came in a plastic vile that im suppose to break to open. at the end of the vile is a cotton-type brush (.25" wide) that im suppose to use to apply it with. the other item, is electrically conductive tab adhesive, that came in a plastic bag that im suppose to cut open w/ scissors.. that too, is a oil-like liquid... so... which one am i suppose to use?!!!

Ok man...here ya go.

I got the permatex stuff and it was just one bottle and a brush(which for this was useless).
Sorry, wish I could tell you more about the stuff you have.

I used a toothpick once and the snipped end of a plastic zip tie another time.
Forget about a needle or anything that small because the stuff dries WAY too fast.

The trick is to get a small drop on the end and go for it, but not to big...

Good luck anyway, hope somebody will post that has used the stuff you have...

Oh yea, my Duron 600 does 1050 w/1.9v(for awhile), but I stepped it down to 1000(stable).

 

[tkdkid]

That stuff that you have, with the two bottles, is the wrong stuff. It won't work.

There should only be one bottle. It's got silver paint already mixed.

Maybe this thread will help:

I went to the local Radio Shack and the kid there ordered me a conductive ink pen through Radio Shack Unlimited. The pen was $8.96, and I paid $2.50 for delivery to my house. Including tax, I paid 12.11 for the pen.

My only complaint about the pen is that although the tip of the pen is no larger than the tip of a mechanical pencil lead, the pen is very sensitive to downward pressure. Over and over I ended up with a minute pool of silver conducting ink which had to be removed because it cross-connected the bridges. Eventually I was able to get it right by tapping the pen on a CD cover to start the ink flow and then use the ink remaining on the tip to connect the bridges.

The product is Caig Labs' CircuitWriter Conductive pen. The SKU seems to be 99103890.

Is a needle good enought to dtransfer the silver stuff fom where you tip the pen to the CPU?

 

[bupkus]

Why not use a razor to shave thin pieces off a roll of masking tape, create a matrix or grid like pattern masking the spaces around the bridges, apply the conductive, dry a bit with a blow dryer, then pull the tape. Complete the drying with the dryer and you're done.

I'm talkin, but next week I get to try this way out.

 

[Usul]

Wow, are you ging to do ll that?
I personally do not trust the tape eought to do the job, but might work pretty good...

 

[bupkus]

Actually, it should go pretty fast. I imagine it'll go a lot faster than maybe needing to clean up a spill or mistake. I think masking tape is the way to go.

If I use that conductive pen, which doesn't dry all that fast, even if I make a mess, the tape will bail me out. I think tape is what detail painters use.

 

[Usul]

I'll go tonight , and I think I'll just put some stuff on a plate and use a needle to put it on the bridges.

If you don't see me for a while around rere, don't do it like me
