Hey, I’m still struggling with my RM520N-GL AP - it doesn’t show up on any computer. The only thing I can do is short the jumpers, which causes the QDL port to appear. The only software I can flash is the original Lenovo firmware. Then it resets and the modem isn’t visible again. Any ideas on how to enable Etch so I can use it with an adapter?

I have seen some repair pictures and found that the SDX62 chip needs to be replaced.
