CHDK on sd without write lock?

Hello,

i have bought a Canon SX10 from Ebay. I'm very happy with it, but the write lock is defect- every card can be written no "Card lock" error like my old Powershot A560.

So I tried to install CHDK but it doesn't work because of the missing write lock. Is it possible to load CHDK without writelock when starting the camera?

If not- I tried the manual method mentioned in the tutorial. Only one time I saw the "firmware update" button- and CHDK loaded. But after that the button isn't available anymore- What I'm doing wrong?

Edit: I've read that its not possible without writelock to autoload. Does this camera have a lock which is activated when contact is shorten or open?

Thanks in advance,
Dirk

Some other people have had this problem (on the SX10 specifically), and fixed it by fiddling with the write lock switch in the camera:

Regarding the firm update option:
- if you are using a multi-partition card, and have the PS.FI2 only on one partition, you won't see it after they are swapped
- if you don't start in play mode, you probably don't get the firm update option, even if you switch from record back to play.
