Do you want 128MB upgrade?

tomal · Jul 8, 2009

Hey guy's:

Due to the high demand of memory for upcomming OS's I thought I would give you an opportunity to upgrade the memory of your Uni. As you know, one of my friends did the upgrade for me here (in Bangladesh). I discussed with him personally last night for his service and he has shown some interest.

Now I need to know spending how much is actually worth/comfortable for you. I'll then discuss with him further. But please note, chip has to be ordered/bought from eBay.

Let me know if your are interested.

UPDATE:

Details for upgrade -

UPGRADE COST: USD 100 - included chips+service charge+return shipping (regular post).
UPGRADE COST: USD 110 - included chips+service charge+return shipping (express post). But Express post service is available for limited number of countries.
You can provide the chips if you want but they have to proven working. 20$ will be deducted from the total cost in this case.
You must bear the cost for shipping from your end.
Complete device is not accepted. You need to unmount the device and send ONLY the mainboard without any other assembly.
The mainboard must be well-packed during shipping. The same packaging may be used for return shipping.
The whole process could take approximately 6-8 weeks (including shipping/upgrade/return shipping).
I will not take the responsibility in case the board is damaged or lost during transit.
Due to export control regulation: some of the countries are considered out of this project. i.e. Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia and all other countries those has direct border to Singapore. Italy has no usual restriction but the postal handling is not so pleasant. Parcel may get lost during shipping/return shipping so it is up to your interest.
Payment (PayPal is prefered) has to be made only when you get notified that the upgrade is done. Board will be then re-shipped.
PM me if you're interested and I'll then provide you the shipping address.

Cheers

Universal 128MB upgrade in London

Can you tell me somewhere that'll do the upgrade in London? I can't find ANYWHERE! Many thanks

@orb:
you need to send your mainboard, not the whole unit.
the board will be returned after upgrade. in this way it will help to avoid tax.
We will discuss about all other concerns but first I need to know the interest from you guys.

I am interested. Can afford $50, I guess.
Your friend could also do USB port repairs, seems to be the problem that far too many Unis and their owners suffer from.
Question: Can chips be harvested off a defunct Uni/Wizard board? I have some lying around gathering dust in various states of disrepair or repair is simply uneconomical, but I know the RAM BGA chips are fine. Can give chips as part of payment... perhaps...
What do they cost on eBay?

Consider it is not a commercial service. He will do it because of my request. But in the other way, we need to pay him something or he will not feel the interest. Also there is a cost involved for returned shipping.

P.S: I just checked at eBay, a pair of chips are about 20$ (including shipping).

regards

'Duke' · Jul 8, 2009

sorry i forgot to ask is there any possibolity to upgrade the ram to 256 or more higher.i mean can we use 2 128 chip or something like that..cheers..

boxchevy · Jul 8, 2009

Very Interested

Not sure the exact amount I would spend currently. Maybe we need to figure out how much it is for return shipping then go from there as far as payment. Most of the users are closer to you I would assume than I. But Im definately interested in this idea. Is there a way to get a flat rate shipping from your end to the rest of us throughout the world? Something similar to what the USPS is offering now with certain boxes that weigh under 70 pounds. Hopefully so but you can count me in. Also would be hoping you and your friend could offer the broken USB port repair.

Also BIG THANKS for the great roms and support you have provided to us Uni lovers

We ask you keep up the awesome work.

I would be willing to pay $75.0-$100.00 US dollars, but not sure how long I could go with out my phone.

Ok, I will have to learn how to take out the mainboard in order to send it.

As you mentioned, let´s hear the other interests

Thanks mate!

could u please show us the link of where to buy at (Retronex) as the page is too big to find.

-Jonny- · Jul 9, 2009

this is a bit off topic, as I am aware Tomal was asking for interest. However, as this is a share site, I'll just point you off-topic to this post.

'Duke' · Jul 10, 2009

mate what about those empty space beside the ram chip.if that is 4 extra flash disk than any chance to upgrade it i mean are those chips avilable in market like increaseing more f disk in main board like ram ........any suggations.....

enigma1nz · Jul 10, 2009

For me Hong Kong seems to be the only and thew closest option with $128. So if Tomal's idea fails, I might check with them whether they'll accept the board only and wait for FX to improve.

Do you want 128MB upgrade?
