Ok I tried to search but I cannot find a for sureanswer. using the AUF trick you just need to jumper the 2 points on the top different for 1.0 , 1.1 and 1.2 , 1.3 but I heard for a certain chip you need to bridge 2 points. I am not sure if this is true can someone verify? I believe it is the ST chips and is ST sharp? Thanks in advance

bridge...no for a sharp TSOP you need to connect one of the points near the alt d0 to VCC i believe.

what does the sharp chip looks like? is it the one that says ST? and you say you believe can someone verify this and show which points? If the ST is not a sharp chip do you have to add a wire for the ST chip?

The st chip is a st chip not sharp. The sharp chip says sharp on it. The points are all over this form, use the search button or check out the pinned threads.

No

FFS DONT BRIDGE IF IT SAYS ST!!! i had a customer that did that and had a bad solder splash, his alt d0 was broken beyond repair (it lifted one whole side with the pad and the via..)

The ST chip is NOT a Sharp it's a normal Bootable run of the mill flash, unlike the oddball one that is the Sharp, which is a pain in the a$$ to do.
The Sharp one has "SHARP" written on it, you cannot miss it.
