Re: Revised Firmware V1.4 for the DSP1124P
Alright! I got my new eprom from Hobbyroms.com today. Gonna pry her open tonight and see iof I can get it working. Any tips on the process from anyone who's had success?
Just a word of caution to those who are installing the eprom.
1- Be sure to note which side the "notch" on the original eprom is facing
2- Remove the old eprom carefully ( I find a flathead screwdriver works well )
3- Install the new eprom in the same direction as the old one,
matching the notch to the same direction
[Note : Don't rely on the sticker for orientation, USE THE NOTCH ]
When installing an eprom, I find that the easiest way
is to tilt the eprom so as to line-up all the pins on one side
to fit in the socket. When you're sure you've got the pins on one side lined-up,
ease the other side into the other side of the socket.
The eprom pins are usually just a little wider than the socket,
so you might have to put a bit of pressure to make sure the pins fit in the socket.
DON'T PUSH the eprom in just yet.
Make sure all the pins are indeed fitted in the socket...
Bent pins are hard to see.
Once you're sure all the pins are well positioned,
AND you've got the notch facing the right way,
....then push the eprom fully into the socket.
Good luck.
Feel free to e-mail me if you have any problems
