That does not really sound like the SAD would be the culprit. However, they are ridiculously expensive and there are a lot of counterfeit 'rare' chips out there. Did you get yours from a reputable source, and not cheap?

are those real? or fakes?
such a scarcity brings the price really high, an high price is inviting for stamping a DIP8 chip with whatever is the scarcity model name.Comment

Yes that is true. And I would not trust any new ones coming from China. But the ones that claim they are used, and pulled from units that actually used those chips, may be legit.Originally posted by ilcaccillo View Post
Somewhere there are people that have real ones, and will sell them if the price is right. Some of those ebay ones I think that is the case.Originally posted by Enzo

I understand maybe some of those are legit, but the price for the chip is so high that it's a risk. Anyway I think at least if you buy from ebay you should see the return policy so that if the chip you buy it's a dud you can return it and be refunded of your money.Originally posted by g1 View Post
I had one of these 670 units, it was not working all things pointed to the SAD512 chip, at the time I remember there weren't chips on ebay I ended up selling the unit for parts...Comment
