i had a old wrt54g that was "dead" and i started to short the bios pins and well it came back to life.
that was a few years agao i think that was the start of the pin 15 and 16 thing.

BW's point is, of course, that jtag works an pin shorting is a hack. Of course, I never did PM that guy that says "PM for pin shorting instructions" or something.....maybe we're all just doing it wrong. _________________ SIG:

you have 3v on that cap i just tested it
thay toutch the cap while sliding the knife or Screwdriver over the pins next to it well No more needs to be mentioned............"or over pins 10 to 15"
Unless thay HELD the knife on the pins for along time you shuld be able to bring it back to life
it might have done a TOTAL whipe of the flash chip.
that would depend on what pins thay stayed on .
have you tryed to jtag it at all?
if it dont just replace the Flash rom chip thats cheeper than a new N router.
oh BTW
I don't profess to be perfect
The pictures are bad .. Its hard to test the pins on the flash ic and run a camera.
