Hi, Im having big problems with unlocking, heres the deal: I got the chip in, checked the internet on how to do it, then got super glue, a razor, some tape and bought some aluminum paint at walmart.

Now ok I started by filling in the pits, all was good it appeared! Then I chizzeled the paint down abit [without tape over the contacts tho..], then i applied the aluminum paint and cut between the bridges to ensure no overlapping. After I attempted to boot it up...and nothing! I get no video no beeps the system gets power and the fan runs but I just get no screen! So I take the cpu out and examine it some more, and I noticed that between the first two contacts i razored to hard cause I could see a little twinkilng of copper..could this be grounding my connection or something? I was thinking of maybe supergluing over the copper to ground it but I want to ask some of the pros on what to do cause this is my first time and I hope the chip isnt dead!! please give me some ideas!

I did that already and cleaned it off with both an eraser and a wash cloth. All im getting now is a blank screen. Im not sure if I hurt it somehow, since I was careful and made sure the bridges were connected, also i saw no smoke on boot, the only thing I can think of is the copper areas that appeared after razoring it abit. Im wondering if that copper is grounding the cpu and if its possible to stop the grounding by using spuer glue.

you could hav killed it by going too deep into the cpu

that was a somehwat deterrent when i was about to cut bridges on my tbred b, so i was uber nervous lol
i took a few swipes with a razor and voila!

anyways, its possible that the cpu is dead...i said that before i just realized lol...

Am I supposed to get 0 OHMs [using multimeter] on the top five conductive dots on the L1 bridge, and 100 OHMs on the bottom five dots? Cause thats what im getting and am wondering if that the top five should be getting 100 OHMs that I might have a ground..anyone know about this?
