Overclocking

[Moose or Chuck]

Make sure you benchmark before and after so you'll know if there's a speed increase.

I'm not too great with electric currents: <br>In overclocking the casio, you use graphite to create a path with a resistance between two pts.<br>Can a switch be installed to effectively turn ON/OFF O/C? Will an installed switch provide the resistance to trick the casio<br>or would a resistor need to be sodered inline to O/C? <br>My casio O/C'ed @ 200 freezes when syncing large files across. I want to freely switch between 180 and 200 as needed. <br>Is the switch theory possible or do I need a resistor with it? <br><br>

[Moose or Chuck]

It would have to be solder on for any type of permanense, and there can not be a switch easily devised. The tabs are less than 1 mm off the PCB board.

[Daed-head]

Oh ya, I'm gonna use wires and have the switch accessable to the outside of the case. (I haven't looked where to put it, but then again I haven't found my mini switch yet )<br> <br>  But all and all, what you're saying is that a switch alone is possible, even without a resistor.

Please let me know, I'd love to get started on this tonight as I am done midterms and have lots of time now.

Have you seen how miniscule the internals of a PPC are? I wouldn't touch a soldering iron to anything in there.

[Moose or Chuck]

hehe, i  think i just fucked up my casio. the backlight is out, Good thing i have a two year warrenty i paid extra for. I'm gonna take it back today, Get a new one. And start over. thank god i backed it up. when i get the new one, i'll try to overcloock again. I thiink i pulled a damn wire loose when i cracked the cover.

[Moose or Chuck]

There's a thin white wire that is attached only by a clip, it doesn't plug in. That would be the backlight power cable, or something like that. Make sure that it is in properly and the contacts are facing the correct direction. If that doesn't work, then you're screwed.

[chuck]

hehe, ya i think i sandwidched the white wire when i put the case back on. But it's cool they gave me a new one today. Thank god for the two year plan. I'll try it again tonight. If i fuckk up again then i will just take it Back

[Moose or Chuck]

Opening the case voids the warranty, no matter how long it is for.

[Dr. Phat]

well they did give him a new one. surprising.

[Daedelus]

I'm NOT!!!<br><br>  AC UpgraDED

[Moose or Chuck]

hehe, ya they didn't notice the opening. It isn't the Casio warrenty, it was a special warrenty i bought extra from CompUSA. AND GUESS WHAT. I GOT MY NEW BABY TO HIT THE 180 mhz MARK WOO HOO. YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!! hehe i'm never doing that again.

[Moose or Chuck]

I just want to thank you Moose for your help in overclocking. It is very much apreciated. and thank you Dr.Phat for the insults. They weren't as much apreciated but hey, everybody's gotta get their kicks somehow

I hate to tell you, but you can only use the CompUSA replacement warranty once, and after that you have to buy another one (like $59.99) if you still want coverage.  I found out the hard way (after the fact) - the salesperson *never* volunteered that information.  I think all CompUSA replacement warrantys (even non-PDA) work like that.  It must be illegal.
