    SVOD4 PCB pictures + parts

    Hey, I find it very absurd that the SVOD4 costs so much and has zero documentation. I had no other choice than to buy it to unlock ECs, if there was any documentation or firmware avalible I could've made it or something simmilar. Anyways here are some of the most important parts:

    STM32H723VGT6 MCU - It's a microcontroller by STMicroelectronics and its the whole brain of the SVOD4. It has flash memory for the firmware which can be updated by the SVOD4 program. Its also powered by the AMS117 which converts 5v into 3.3V. 7€ on AliExpress.

    GW1N-UV9UG169C6/I5 FPGA - Its a FPGA. It also has non-volatile memory which means that the STM32 MCU tells it what to do and it does it. So no dumping needed here. 25€ on AliExpress

    SMSC USB3300-EZK USB host - Its what lets your pc communicate with the STM32. It isnt programmable and doesnt have any flash memory so thats great. 3€ for 5pcs on AliExpress

    74HC595D shift register - It has something to do with shifting signals, which i dont really understand. But its a very basic chip. There are a ton of them on the SVOD4. 1€ for 10pcs on AliExpress

    In principle these are the most important parts needed to make a SVOD4. Its definitley not worth the 500€ I had to pay to a reseller just to get my hands onto one. I understand that it might be expensive because all of the research and time it took to make this product but I find locking down the software and all modifications really not okay. Not even the slightest bit of documentation. I think making a clone might be highly possible because 1: It has OTA update which means the firmware of the STM is literally on your pc and 2: There's always a chance to dump the firmware from the chip directly, also ive noticed a 10 pin debugging connector on the side which might help.

    Pictures of the pcbs and close ups are i​n the attachments​

    If you have any questions or need extra close ups or measurements ask ahead

    Docker Type-C Gen 2 - Model 40AS. Was given to me by a friend for free ,but with the problem that you cannot use the video output ports.

    All ports work , USB , Ethernet, Type C ... but HDMI + Display Port don't work

    I searched on reddit and google for problem similar to that, and a LOT of people had fixed this problem by updating the firmware. So i tried , i searched and found 1.1.13 utility and 1.1.20 utility that can help...

    Ubiquiti firmware help. US-8-150W POE
    by gurj1979
    Hi guys.

    I've got a Ubiquiti US-8-150W POE switch which has issues with updating the firmware.
    Turned out to be a bad EEPROM chip. It would read the firmware and work as normal, but failed to write new firmware to it.

    So I took off the chip and read on EEPROM and saved it. Wrote to old chip and failed to write
    Got New chip and writes good.

    THE PROBLEM...
    It fails to fully load the firmware, POE lights fail to work during g firmware test during load. I'm suspecting bad EEPROM Read.

    Does anyone have a Good Firmware I can have?...

    AOC AG493UCX 49-inch monitor - Firmware request
    by wattage
    Hello Badcaps Community,

    I purchased a preowned AOC monitor that is not working and out of warranty. It was sold as not working. I am looking for guidance on self-repair. In particular, I am after the firmware for the monitor. At the end, I have included monitor model information and links to pics and vids of the issue.

    The problem is that it will not display a picture on any of its inputs. And the on-screen menu does not appear. The power button works properly. It powers on with the remote as well. But the on-screen menu does not appear, even when not connected to any...

    ITE IT8390 (IT8390E-256) programmer "ITE Download Board 4" user manual + firmware, flashing ITE ECs on the cheap
    by H34TO
    Recently I've gotten into EC flashing due to my broken laptop(s) and started frantically searching methods for flashing the IT5571E-128 chip on the cheap(due to me beaing a student and not having a job) and noticed that ITE newer chips can be flashed via ISP (In-System Programming) either via SMBus or the KBC (EPP - Enhanced Parallel Port) interface. While these can be achieved with programmers like SVOD4/3 or the RT809H/F those options are WAYYY out of my budget so I was horrified. But recently I stumbled uppon some programmers on aliexpress that claim they can program a variety of ITE chips...

    1. SIO_3VA ON
    2. ATX_5VSB ON
    3. 3VDSW ON
    4. Mainboard stucked in Deep_S5 state

    Problem:
    RSMRST Incative. (Obviosly everything dead)


    Tried just for fun to update the BIOS with its Bios flashback function (Push button and USB stick with bios in it).
    Main Bios restored succesfully.
    When updating Bios all the voltages comes on except PCH which is not needed.

    EC Controller: NCT6687D-M
    External SIO Firmware...
