yea you bought a dual core if you wanted a quad you should have bought one or at least do your homework before you try unlocking cores.

Congrats, you got one that was disabled for a reason. Turn off ACC and it should be back to normal. Some of them were disabled because they were slightly off, some of them were disabled because the two cores were totally defective, i bet you got the latter.
