Hey I was playing with the Dakota PV2 camera. The main thing i did was try to find hidden button. so fat i found a reset button and a back button that takes you to the last pic you took. so you can keep deleteing picture to clear the memory. the way to do it is putting a wire from the + to the transistors but dont try it because you might end up like it did. My camre beeps 3 times and it dosent turn on. does anibody has any ideea what that can be??? i think is ths flash but im not seaure??? ill update with pics as soon as i can get it working,

ok i found this on one of the sites from here ( http://www.maushammer.com/systems/dakotadigital/lcd-flash.html)
As much as i can understand these are the words that apear in the lower side of the screan when you delete or take a pic. but it seems like there are a lot more like Flash, Format, Rename. well if the camera was not ment to be able to flash its own cip or to format it or rename files then they wodef never been there. my best guess is that there as to be button combination to be able to format or flash the camera now the question is what the combinations. well hey later. sorry for the speling. i just came to US and i dont speek that well.

This file has four parts:
0000-0BFF
Three copies of a 64 character 8x16 bit-mapped font table.
It includes digits, a bunch of assorted icons, and an upper-case only set of letters.

0C00-1FFF
Zeros

2000-289F
Two copies of 40 text messages.

It's not ASCII. Non-drawing areas are zero, spaces are 0xFF, and all other characters are (I assume) part of the font table.
The letter "A" is represented by 0x26 -- ASCII would be 0x41, and it's entry 0x25 in the font table (assuming it starts at zero).

Got a 6410, after trying to hack the firmware, I get three low beeps when trying to turn on the camera, or when connected to usb. Running the PV2Mod util when I connect I get one beep, but no light... I am unable to unlock... Any suggestions on how I can fix this? Also, what changes need to be made on the 6410 27 firmare.bin file?

tweak, it sounds like your firmware got corrupted and is now issueing the beep-of-death. See the Failures section here http://www.linux-hacker.net/cgi-bin/UltraBoard/UltraBoard.pl?Action=ShowPost&Board=cameras&Post=46

For some reason, it appears that the 6410-T27 is very easy to corrupt... the Failures forum will attest to that. I personally think there is a hardware/software bug somewhere in it that causes this.

I too have a dead 6410-T27, and I killed it after numerous succesful changes to 6520-T30 and 6430-T27 cameras.

It's likely that there is someway to reflash dead cameras because they still show up in the USB device list, and are running in what is known as "bootloader mode", but currently noone knows how to do it.

Tweak, try to avoid crossposting in all of the forums. Forums with the latest postings automatically sort to the top by default, so it's easy for all of us to see a single post.
