De-brick your WRTSL54GS Router

[gatekeeper]

Hi Rebels,

I had to bricked my WRTSL54GS and after a few tries was able to get it working by shorting pins 5 & 6 on the Intel chip inside.

Steps:

1. turn off power
2. short pins 5 & 6
3. plug in the power while the pins are shorted
4. you should be able to ping -t 192.168.1.1
5. tftp -i 192.168.1.1 put [bin file]

Note: I also had to clear my arp table

Keep in mind it voids the warranty by having to open it but in my case I do not care.

regards,
