Yes, but it's pretty easy if you have a decent soldering iron, fine tweezers and enough skills to remove the tiny diode [or is it a resistor?] on the board. If it's intimidating find someone with decent skills. I probably have "C" level skills and I did it in 5 minutes, then again I've probably unlocked a dozen radios. I used a weller WTCPT and some fine tweezers....basically I just heat up one end, pry it gently, and heat up the other, while gripping with tweezers...and the grain of sand will be released... then I do a full cpu reset and you're back in business. The reset might not even be necessary but I do it as a matter of old habit.
