Like the topic says. I just got my SuperPass2 in the mail and when I opened it the programing connector was broken.  One of the pins has fallen out of the DS cart connector (the pin all the way to the right). and my PC wpn't recognize it when I connect it.  I was wondering if there is any other way to reflash the SP2.  I have good soldering skills so that isn't an issue.

Yes, you can build a JTAG cable to connect the Superpass to a PC  :!:

Look here :

Here is the JTAG cable :

and here the connections for a Superpass :

Using those infos, i re-programmed a Superpass 1 in Superpass 2  :wink:

My tip : do no solder on Superpass, but "build" a connector like this :

and use NEW batteries : programming require good power on Superpass.

And pry the casing off of the old one. Only thing that's keeping me from making my super pass a super pass 2 to use on my friend's DS.

I got it from Jandaman.com who is usually a really good place to order it from.

Doesn't mean any shipments were bad, it was destroyed in transit, simple as that. I check my stock before shipping out and I did in fact have 3 destroyed SuperPass2's (just the part to go to the pc though.
