I'm not exactly sure what you're asking. Are you asking whether it can still be corrected after the second live ball since the timer recognized the error before that?
If that's what you're asking, the answer is no. The error must be corrected before the first dead ball becomes live after the clock has properly started. If the scorer knew about it, but didn't tell the officials in time, tough luck.

You hit it on the head Chuck. A timer or scorer recognizes the error, but can't or doesn't get the court officials attention until after the second live ball.

It has to be not only recognized but also addressed. The timer/scorer must yell, buzz, jump up and down or whatever, to see to it that the error is dealt with. It's okay for them to wait until during that first dead ball. Then they should make noise until the floor refs deal with it.
