Title: blown bdm port: what is actually "blown" Post by: k0mpresd on June 09, 2012, 11:38:06 PM does anyone know where the fault lies in a "blown" bdm port?
ive followed traces, poked around with a multimeter, and even swapped a few resistors but was never able to revive the port. im thinking the circuit in the cpu is blown. can anyone confirm this? if this was the case the only "fix" would be a cpu transplant. which doesnt seem so hard. ;) any insight is much appreciated.

I'm talking out of experience here ;)
