+#### Shorting pins on flash chip
+
+The first thing to do is locate the flash memory chip on the camera circuit
+board. Typically this is a square chip with 8 pins labeled 25Q64 or 25Q128,
+rarely 25L64 or 25L128. If you have trouble locating the chip, try taking
+some pictures of your board from both sides. Then ask for help
+[in our Telegram channel](https://t.me/openipc).
+__Do not try to short-circuit any random chip! It will most likely burn your camera circuit.__
+
+Short-circuit pins 5 and 6 of the flash chip with a small metal object,
+a screwdriver or tweezers, right after the bootloader starts but before it
+calls up the Linux kernel.
+
+Pins 5 and 6 of the SOIC8 chip are on the opposite corner of pin 1, indicated
+by the embossed or drawn dot next to it.
