It has been there since the beginning - UUP's sighting!
Well these wonderful pads of what seems to be an 8-pin ic, where there, next to the flash chip, on all wl500gP's, wl500w's and wl700gE's, waiting to be noticed...

Hello!
Well is your router really non-responsive? No reply to ping, not possible to enter recovery mode by pressing reset button during power up, no signs of life on port0 over serial, etc? If so...
I managed to find a detailed enough picture of the underside of wl700gE mainboard, here in the forum.
82 connected pads out of the 124 on the wl700gE mainboard as opposed to 86 connected pads on...
Hello again!
Let me present some info on the mini-PCI bus and the mini-PCI cards Type III, as the ones found on routers.
