People don't unsolder surface mount chips anymore, they use the
jtag port with jtag size firmware.

well, then u can call it the old school way, it still works. secondly, in order to use jtag and Jkeys software u have to know the receivers IRD number. do u know whats the IRD for Digital 600? if u know how to get IRD for any kind of receiver id like to hear that myself. your help would be invaluable!!

To desolder/solder a flash chip properly you would need a hot air
desoldering station, not every hobbyist has one.
Then you would need a programmer that handles that chip.
I would only attempt that if I had a 1meg flash and planned to
upgrade to a 2meg flash chip.
Jkeys was originally written for north american echostar receivers,
not fta receivers.
I use either skymax1.3 or jtag_up for fta receivers that are jtaggable.
No need to play with .def files and you don't have to ground pin 115
on the sti5518 to erase/write.They are finicky about the operating
system, I use win98 but others claim they work with winxp.
I assume the 600 has a 1meg flash, which the previous programs handle.
You would also need the jtag size firmware to install, preferrably rigged
for the provider you want to watch.

I have seen bad power supplies also, if that is the problem.
I know hevet and microyal had power supplies with the wrong
voltage rating capacitors in two spots, 16v instead of 35v.
I would check the power supply for pregnant caps, they will
have bloated tops,if the receiver just died by itself.
I believe there are schematics around for the hevet power supply.
