Sorry for my jokes.. Ok now i'm serious.. Does anybody know what's the main problem.

For ur info, i've tried to flashed it with another flash but the problem still keep me frustated.

it sounds like your real time clock crystal, if it gets damaged it will run at about half speed. its shown on the picture I've attached, it probably wont show any signs of damage and the only way of telling if its damaged is by substitution with a known good item. I think I have one or two lying around, if you give me your address i'll send you one (i'm assuming you can solder). you could probably get away with using a soldering iron if a hot air station is not available.

Thanks Dave. I really appreciate your help. But i live in kuala lumpur (malaysia). Quite far from your place. I'll try to find it myself.

ok thats fine, for reference purposes the crystal is about 13MHz, if you get stuck for one you know where to find me.

Good luck!, Dave.
