hi

I have an eeprom chip (6 x 8 mm) with a few legs broken, that i need it fixed.

in order to fix it, the ceramic coating has to be remove and solder new legs.

It doesn't have to be a cosmetic look, just fixed enough to extract the data on it

can someone guide me to the right direction ? an electronic engineer who can get the job done ? ...

Clean up the connections, connect wires with Loctite 3863 under a microscope.
Read eeprom and program a new one.

Ouch - that one is in a bad shape :(
Still inspect under a microscope, find the broken connections.
Fix the chip on veroboard and connect thin wires under a microscope with Loctite 3863
Read out the chip if still possible.

Looks like the chip is dead anyway, look at the "bubbles" on top of it....looks like big internal damage.

Wrong ,
thats the down side with solder .I suggest you put this on a adapter as 7 legs out of four will be connected you will need to connect the eight leg to the adapter via a small copper wire .Please use simple adapter and not a zif type .This case is a piece of cake for me :mrgreen:

Thats right its a blob of solder. You think its a simple snap your fingers and job done but in my opinion the damage might be terminal. Consider how much heat might have been applied to even remove the ic as for sure it hadn't been done in any form of a controlled environment. And that is separate from the physical issues of damaged case, broken connections etc.

I would suggest to the op he appears to have some knowledge about the subject, f3 series architecture, adaptives, reading/writing roms etc. and all this considering it was his first post on Hddguru.

@op it would be helpful if you come clean and clearly describe what led you to this point (including what happened before the botched rom removal) rather than the short responses to the questions being asked. There are many people here who can help/advise and some are geographically close to your location.

Probably not enough heat was used, which is why the packaging broke. Was it pried off with a chisel or something? Hurts to just look at it (especially with that fuzzy picture).
