Upgrade of OPB fails on Ultra 10

Hello All,
I posted this message some weeks ago without receiving any messages, sorry
to noise You, I try again.

I've upgraded openboot using patch set 106121-18 (to disable later cpu cache
and start to solve the "MMU MISS problem".

I followed the Sun's guidelines, obtaining messages during patch operation
as specified in Sunsolve article. After the reset, my Ultra 10 was not able
to reboot; every time that I turn on the ws, screen is totally dark, system
doesn't boot.

My questions is:
1) what is the way to reprogram the opb chip?
2) must I change some IC on mainboard?

My Ultra 10 has Ultrasparc II 440MHz with 512 MB of ram.

Many thanks in advance, Regards.
