2. CA-53 USB cable (The one that came with your N73)

Note: Please make sure that you give a gap of few seconds between each button click so that the data could be fetched.

Step 5
Make a note of the current Product Code. This is to revert back incase if you have any issues.
Now delete the old product code from the "Product Code" box and put the new product code.

NSS should update the product code in a couple of seconds and your are all done !!!

Repeat Step 4 and check if the new product code has been updated.

===========================================================

Very Important:
1. Don't mess around with NSS unless you know what you are doing. Misuse of NSS might cause serious damage to the phone.

2. Make sure you have the latest version of PC suite and NSS else there is a chance that the phone might not get detected.
