To tell Which Type of VideoCipher Descrambler You Have First Look At The Back Of The Cage / Module. There should be a sticker with a barcode on it and just below should be an Authorization Number. This is your Unit Identification # The first 4 characters of the unit ID is the key to finding out which board you are looking at

Checking Your U24 Information

** The next few steps require that the module be opened, this will void your warranty **

 Full Sized (010 - 018 - 019 - 032)

Simply open the module and locate the large Integrated Circuit (IC) or chip on the bottom left side of the board. Note: Edge Connector Fingers Pointing Up or Away From You.

Next look at the 3rd line of text written on the chip (some chips have a thick black line covering the text, simply use a regular pencil erase to remove, don't rub too hard!) the 3rd line should read one of the following:

24296-4*M* -- C4 Board [ 010 ]

Note: The U24 Chip located on 010 Boards may sometimes simply look like this:

 

24296-5*M* -- A5 Board [ 018 / 019 ]

 

24296-7*M* -- 77 Board [ 032 ]

 

Half Sized (032) Grey Module

Look at the large 40 pin IC located at u7, on the far right side of the board with the edge connector being the top this chip is right beside the epoxy. You WILL see the folowing Text:

24296-7*M* -- Denotes 77 Board, Same Chip As Full Sized Boards!
