i have a friend that said if you go to tech store such as radio shack (or whatever), you can buy a certain type of pen that writes in ink that is electricaly conductive. does anyone know if this is true, and if it's true...will they work for unlocking an xp?
thanks :)

your thinking of silver markers and window defogging kits.

the answer is yes and no.

most dont provide a narrow enough mark, and crossed bridges prevent the cpu from working.

and you also have to fill the "trenches" first with something nonconductive.

you would be lucky if radio crap had them. just go to a car shop and ask for a rear window deffogger fixer kit. follow the instructions in the video on this site and you will do fine. let the deffoger kit liquid solidify a little before you put it on, its very runny.

how do you shoot the devil in the back? what happens if you miss? -verbal
