PC3000 EXPRESS Version 6.9.16

I am trying to patch the lock because the sector cannot be accessed.

In order to patch, you need to read the ROM with a terminal.

Can't read rom with terminal
The following message is output.

I've tried all the terminal read speeds. The same error message is output.

How I've tried so far

- BOOT CODE mode on startup
- Read 3.3v, 2.5v, 1.8v rom with terminal 3


I need an unlock patch, but I can't read the rom. Is there any other way?

If you haven't done it already, try isolating head contacts and try again. This has worked in the past with similar problem.
