Nope! First v12 machine we opened yesterday needed the pots turned down to less than 300 ohms just to get DVDR working (OUCH!).

The 2nd machine worked fine & the ohms read 770!

The 1.0 Infinity needs to be flashed in an earlier version to work in a v12, you can't flash it from the memory card manager

Crystal Chips are shipping now.

I've also heard reports of the laser driver IC and the laser also burning out in these new V12's. The IC is similar to the LA but combined with the LB as well. Looks like the dead V9/V10 syndrome all over again. Maybe a Romeo type mod can prevent this problem as well. Only time will tell, but until then I'm kind of leary about the V12.

I've just heard rumour there may be a link between the 'F' wire & laser problems. The machine I had probs with had the F fitted but I left it off on the next machine which works fine.

Let me get this right, you left the 'F' wire off the install of an infinity in a V12 and it booted just fine?

Yep, the F wire is purely for DVDRW support m8.

Right on!! Then there is no need for the 'F' wire to be installed.
