Write ROM to unlocked pcb with your external programmer, I do that all the time.

that's the usual , but the pcb is very thin and sensitive and with soldering many times it will gone

Did you select the right chip? IIRC, these are 1M Bit 1.8V devices.

See if you can read the programmed chip and compare with known good file.

If you can't read it on the PCB, remove it and compare the contents with the buffer for the known good IC.

I can check the ROM for you, or you can use my ROM parsing tool.

I prefer external programmer to read and write ROM without removing from the PCB.
REVELPROG-IS and the right clips has done a perfect job the last couple of years

Humm, looks good but i think the ready one looks more practical than yours,,, replay the video and see how much it resists the pressure ,,, very strong

I like the DIY ver. to test but prefer the good quality for daily usage.

Thx for that :wink:
