Solved ✔ EEPROM reading - Rick_Tdi - 10-10-2019
Hi,
I'm trying to figure out how to R/W an EEPROM from a IC.
It is mandatory to desolder the EEPROM for reading, or it can be read directly from PCB with the clip adapter?
Thanks.
RE: EEPROM reading - Ecutech - 10-10-2019
In general its considered best to always remove eeprom from the circuit to minimise the possibility of corrupt data.
RE: EEPROM reading - Rick_Tdi - 11-10-2019
If the EEPROM is read from PCB, is there a way to verify that the file is corrupted?
RE: EEPROM reading - Clusters - 11-10-2019
Not until it is too late.
Some can be corrupted merely by trying to read them, specially with cheap programmers and inexperienced users.
RE: EEPROM reading - Rick_Tdi - 11-10-2019
So in other words, with a clone Digiprog 3 is better to desolder before doing anything.
RE: EEPROM reading - Clusters - 11-10-2019
And save a backup of the original using the eeprom menu before trying to change anything.

Haha!
Don't worry, I understand what you mean!
Last question, does it's better to solder a new EEPROM or keeping the old one?
RE: EEPROM reading - Clusters - 11-10-2019
The old one is fine, I have never changed an eeprom.
Unless you are working with some 35080.
And I see you are fairly new here....
RE: EEPROM reading - Rick_Tdi - 11-10-2019
Yes I'm fairly new in dashboard.
I used to do ECU mapping.
Thanks!

i left from the club few years ago
