it's still alive thank Dina

Dina saved me for the first time. I decided I would overclock my router.

The first few increments worked fine. The one following the few managed to make my router useless - it was dead.

I was unable to get any response from the machine so my attempts at a TFTP installation of a new firmware would have been unsucessful.

Following instructions to short pins 15 and 16 on the firmware chip failed. Damn those things are small!

I finally managed to get ping responses when I shorted the antenna wire to pin 16 on the firmware controller chip. This was a bitch! I transfered the firmware with the trivial ftp protocol, it rebooted, and I was greeted with my new welcome screen.

I will think twice before doing 2 second silly things that require two hour fixings.
