[13:13:42] <bryguy[lap]> :) my SD card came in today
[13:16:45] *** Rossimo has quit IRC
[13:19:06] <g1powermac> Hey All
[13:19:11] <g1powermac> got a big announcement
[13:19:26] <g1powermac> the JTAG port and the serial port has been found on the zipit 2's board: http://zipit2system.sourceforge.net/jtag.html
[13:20:58] *** Rossimo has joined #zipit
[13:21:05] <g1powermac> new custom kernels have now been booted on it
[13:34:30] <asantoni> good find on the serial port
[13:36:31] <bryguy[lap]> cool
[13:46:27] *** Mathiasdm has joined #zipit
[13:58:40] <bryguy[lap]> I think I have a defective Z2 :(
[14:03:19] <bryguy[lap]> if I press a button too hard, the screen will freak out
[14:04:05] <g1powermac> hmm, how so?
[14:04:20] <g1powermac> could be just the lcd connector wasn't seated too well on the pcb
[14:04:38] <g1powermac> wouldn't take no more than to crack it open and reseat the connector
[14:04:41] <bryguy[lap]> yeah, it looks something like that
[14:04:46] <g1powermac> which is really simple to do
[14:04:54] <g1powermac> except of course the cracking open part :-)
[14:05:22] <g1powermac> it ain't easy the first time round
[14:05:30] <bryguy[lap]> yeah, that's what I'm worried about
[14:06:17] <g1powermac> once you take out the battery and the three screws under the battery, you'll have to pop the connectors holding the two halves together
[14:06:29] <g1powermac> the back, iirc, doesn't have any
[14:06:43] <g1powermac> the front has a few, but are easy to disengage due to the sd slot
[14:06:51] <g1powermac> its the sides that are the issue
[14:07:37] <g1powermac> I usually attack the side with the mic port first using my thumb nail to get in between the halves
[14:07:48] <g1powermac> and slide it until the connectors pop
[14:08:20] <g1powermac> once that side is disengaged, its fairly simple to get the other side apart
[14:11:33] <bryguy[lap]> eh, I'd be more likely to send it back than do that
[14:12:07] <g1powermac> meh, got to do that anyway to do some really interesting hacking :-)
[14:14:24] <bryguy[lap]> heh, right now, I'm just getting started, my mini sd card only came in today
[14:14:39] <bryguy[lap]> I'm using an image that Rossimo made
[14:14:51] <bryguy[lap]> although I'm having trouble with wireless
