Miscellaneous Miscellaneous Page Contents Genius G540 EPROM Programmer - Installing on Windows 10 If you install the software for the on Windows 10, the main software package (G540EngSetup.exe) should install correctly but you will probably get an error when you try to install the USB driver package (StglCproUSB_Installer.exe). 500mb The problem is that the USB drivers are not signed. To get round this, you need to temporarily disable Windows 10 driver signature enforcement, then install the USB drivers. To do this (make a note of or print the following instructions as you won't be able to read them after step 4): • Make sure that all your work is closed. • Click the Start menu and select Settings.

• Click Update & Security, then Recovery. • Under Advanced Start-up, click Restart Now. • When the Choose An Option screen is displayed, click Troubleshoot, then Advanced Options, then Start-up Settings, then Restart. • When the Start-up Settings screen is displayed, press the key to disable driver signature enforcement. • When Windows has rebooted, install the USB drivers in the normal way.

The GQBlaster software is designed for GQ-5X NAND programmer and GQ-5X SPI programmers. USB driver use Signed GQ USB 2.01 driver below. To get fully.

A Windows Security dialog will be displayed during the process - click 'Install this driver software anyway'. • When the drivers have installed, reboot to re-enable driver signature enforcement. • When Windows has rebooted, connect the programmer to a USB port, and wait for Windows to install the driver files (which may take several minutes).

• Run the G540 software and verify that the Programmer works correctly. You may find that Windows periodically disables the driver, so you might occasionally have to uninstall it and repeat the procedure above to re-install it again. Note: the Programmer draws around 230mA from the USB port when programming and can exhibit strange or inconsistent behaviour if connected to a USB port that cannot provide enough power. Replacing Clutch Pedal Return Spring on Ford Focus Replacing a broken clutch pedal return spring on a Ford Focus is a bit of a pig of a job.

I done a bit of reading on various websites and about how it could be made 'easier' by stretching the spring with coins before trying to fit it. I ended up using a variation of this method, as described below, which would enable me to replace another one quite quickly. What you'll need: • A new spring, obtainable from your Ford dealer or eBay. (Ignore the plastic pivot(?) piece that comes with it.) • Screwdriver (type not important, just using the shaft). • Two penny coins. • Masking tape or sellotape. • A 60mm length of flat brass or steel bar, approx 10 x 2mm or thicker (I used an offcut of a 1m length I got ages ago from B&Q - product code ).

Drivers

• Thin knife blade. • Two torches, one of these being a slim head torch. • Long nose pliers. • Coat hanger (or similar) wire. The coins and flat bar are used to stretch the spring. To fit these: • Hook the long end of the spring over something secure (I was able to hook it over one of the jaws of a bench vice). • Put a screwdriver shaft through the short end of the spring so that you can hold it with two fingers on the shaft either side of the hook.

• By pulling on the screwdriver shaft, stretch the spring so you can fit one of the coins between the two spring coils nearest the short end. Push it between the coils as far as it will go, and position it opposite the open side of the hook. • Release the tension, then wrap some tape around that end of the spring so that the coin cannot fall out. • Slide the flat bar inside the spring from the long end. • Stretch the spring again, poke the bar down inside the spring as it lengthens, and fit the other coin between the two spring coils nearest the long end, trapping the bar between the two coins.
