+\subsection x3x0_corrupt_eeprom Corrupt EEPROM
+
+This is a rare bug in which the X-Series device's on-board EEPROM becomes corrupt and reports an incorrect
+firmware and FPGA version. In this situation, UHD cannot properly use the device. To fix this bug, use
+the **usrp_burn_mb_eeprom** utility as follows:
+
+ usrp_burn_mb_eeprom --args="type=x300,recover_mb_eeprom,disable_adc_self_test" --values="revision=(NUM HERE)"
+
+Afterward, power-cycle your X-Series device for the changes to take effect.
