Post subject:  Samsung CM871a - BSY - short points help

Hi all, I have this Samsung in. It looks to be BSY. I can see that it's supported by PC3K v 7.1 and above I think.

Can someone help please with confirming short points. I thought it would be lower2 on bottom left but that didn't work.

Many thanks

Louis

Actually, I just measured and the bulk of those pins are approx 1.3v, the closest to top is zero, so it may be at the other end. I'll guess I 'll try it later unless someone knows for sure.

yes, right, those pins are not for ROM mode, one of them is Vref on the bottom.

then idk where ROM mode pins are on this one, perhaps post a pic without label and the other side as well

I don't have PC3000. I thought it told you what pins to short?

Yes it does, but I think this model must be an outlier as the pins indicated do not work.

Beginning to think this is a non supported after all. CM871a, might not be the same CM871

I was trying to find a spec for the Flash chip, but it looks like a Samsung proprietary. I was reading on Ace manual about finding Data pins to short but it's BGA and it's not going to be easy without a proper pin out.

Thanks for taking a look, but likely going to return this to customer as they are leaving for Germany shortly.

-000L7 is Lenovo, maybe they have behind their service/paywall specs. Unlikely, but who knows?
I dumped several datasheets https://files.hddguru.com/download/Datasheets/Samsung/ and maybe they contain the info you're searching on a similar model for this CM/PM871

Thanks for sharing those. Unfortunately the customer had to collect and take the machine back home to Germany which meant we couldn't look at it further.
