£29.99  which works out to about $50 plus postage to UK which is +/- $20 each way.

Still cheaper than a new box if it works.

Just an update for anyone who is interested.

merkin was on the money. 

The guy pulls out the flash, reprograms it and puts it back in the unit. From what I understand this is the same thing AZ does if you send the box back to them.

Since he is in UK it is cost prohibitive to ship and have to deal with customs. He advised that he just purchased an IC programmer and is going to source a replacement flash chip, program with oem software and send to me. 

I have been practicing my soldering skills on some old PC boards and will tackle the process with my Elite+ when I get the replacement flash chip.

I will post an update once I get it up and running if anyone is interested in doing the same.

Fellow Members, your posts are welcome here! Do not worry about posting everything perfect. Different receivers and LNB's will give you different Frequencies and Symbol Rates. Some set top boxes, PCI cards and USB receivers, Do Not Require all of the same information that others may need. It is not Required to post everything that others may need to tune in a feed. It is just most important to share the find. We can always adjust the Frequency and Symbol Rates and try the various Modulations and FEC's on our own receivers until we get a lock and then give a polite reply with what works for your receiver, as that information might help others as well. We all appreciate the efforts and energy of the Posters!
