hi guys need some help. just started to try and fit a pass key with a fcc but no sucsess! will it be easier to use the wires insted of the fcc? if so is there any video guide or could one be put together to show either or both ways on how to do it? i broght all the correct wires and s iron and tips needed to do the job just need a bit of hands on help as they are very fidderley.
many thanks if anyone can help.
p.s a video would be great!

all i can say is try google.
ive not done a v79.
ive also not seen a video
sorry

It goes a little fast, but you can get the idea from it. It show the flat cable install.

unless those other grey wires are hard to install, it doesnt look that bad.

dont kid your self.It is very small.

thanks sadalius
ill sticky this

Damn cofree, that take apart was quicker and smoother than yours! He didn't get hung up on that one part! Doesn't look too bad though. Seems like you would hve to be a little more careful to make sure none of those connections was touching.

Getting the epoxy off is pretty hard in itself. Not to mention the small soldering. You also have to keep in mind that this video is running about double speed too.

thianks guys for all your input!........... will have to sit down with this one and hope for the best!
thanks.

Good luck. Let us know how it goes.

hi guys just to let you know done the 79 drive!! wow very hard and to small!!
things u need...
1 heat gun to remove epoxy and sharp scalpel
2 http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... 0213382768 this is the wire you need if you are using the fcc or just the wires.
3 15w c15 solder iron with 0.12 tip.
4 maximus passkey with or without fcc (after this i would just use the wires no fcc) this is with just the wires. http://www.maximusgames.net/diagramas/DIAGRAM_V11.jpg
5 and last a very big maginfier glass!!!
6 flash as a 78.
hope this all helps but to tell the truth all this to to by pass the 79 to think its a 78 is alot of hard work. best to stay away from them or wait untill a sw is out where no solder is reqd!!
thanks bye for now.

Post up some pics man, lets see how it looks! You may be the first on this site to tackle the dreaded 79. Nice job by the way.

hi here is a pic but i did mine in all the same coulor wire. the fcc is too hard to fit as you bridge the ties to easy so this is the wire pic i used to do mine. http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f320/ ... all030.jpg .any more questions just fire away but i would stay away from the fcc if you want the drive to work, USE THE WIRES. much easier. p.s i was lucky i had 3 79 boards and managed to get it wright on the last so be carefull if you only have 1...
thanks again chaps
great forum. oh p.s the yellow resin in the is just to keep the wires in place incase you want to leave the pass key in for future updates. if you want to remove just remove the wires from the board LEAVE THE WIRES ON THE PASS KEY so only got to do the board side next time you do one.

good stuff, I think that's a first on here

thanks guys! hey can i move up now from a peasent. lol!!
l8r!
