Hi! I’m currently using the carb cleaner spray to wash down the flux. I just hold the board vertically, and position it that way to get the part of board I need to wash as low as possible. It works super fast and I don’t need to use brush, it just wipes everything off in few seconds. The benefit is that I’m able to get it extra clean in the spares between the components legs. After it I use compressed air to blow out the leftovers of carb cleaner and water condensate that appears on the other side of board because of the temperature difference between the spray and the air. As far I see no damage to board or components after using it. Thank you for your videos, they helped me few times to get my job done!
I wanted to take a moment to thank you for your tremendous help in completing this installation. I am so grateful for your guidance and patience. Without your help, I would have been completely lost. You made the process much easier than I thought. Thanks again for everything. I'm so happy, greetings from Palermo, Italy.
Perfect timing! Just getting into programming an immediately I discovered I’m going to be getting into EEPROM. Best time is now with the whole supply shortage.
Mario!!! Man what a valuable video my man. This is absolutely going to become more and more necessary as cars become more and more computer based in function.
Get a small squirt bottle with a needle tip to fill with rubbing alcohol. Dab the flux lightly (when youre cleaning it off) with your lint free rag then wash the rest off with the alcohol. Like anything else, the more you do, the better youll get at it. Great video!
Someone casually told me to swap out my eeprom on my icp like it was no big deal. I had no idea, by the way he said it, that it was this involved 😒 thanks for the info man
After you've cleaned/scrubbed the flux with the spray 1st go around, stand the board on edge when you go for the 2nd round. It washes out under the components better, letting everything run off.
Mario! Great video! I surely picked up some tips! I have been using kester flux and I'm not a fan of the stuff that I got. I think I am going to try amtech next.
My 04 mazda 3 has a faulty relay in the ECM. I have to open (desolder) the metal box to switch out a $5 relay then solder the ECM back together. Or pay a dealership over 1000 bucks to get a new ECM. I have no lights in the back of my vehicle. No night lights, license plate lights. It does not come on when its hot. Its summer now. My car is down. I am nervous but i must do it.
Just followed this video on ecu eprom replacement and did it in one go, love flux how it sucks solder, smt soldering skill improved will always have flux with me.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Just wondering how I can practice using eeprom with my ps90 xtool diag tool. Should I be able to make a key for a 2007 Suzuki vitara with this method? Where do I start ? Any guide to point me at would be appreciated. Thanks again
So can we swap clusters if we're able to solder the old EEPROM (came off of old cluster) onto the board of the new cluster? Or do we have to learn how to read and write the EEPROM with an EEPROM programmer? I wish you would do a video on explaining the EEPROM and a way of programming it? Thank you!
Please help me, I have a problem with the Audi A6 C5 2.5 engine ECU, my problem is that the car does not respond to the gas, I changed the pedal and nothing, the car goes 1100 rpm. please show me at least roughly where the part i can replace is in the ecu bosch 4b2 907 401
Mario I am also trying to self teach myself exactly what you are doing. Right now I’m trying my luck at fixing pads and traces with enamel coated wire. Not easy but what the heck. At least I only screw up my own stuff. What flux are you using? I need to try out some proven stuff. Lol. Mario thanks for sharing your info and knowledge and stay safe and well long time subscriber Artie 😊👍 Mario also 99% isopropyl alcohol helps with cleaning and flux remover fromMG Chemicals. Maic Salazar turned me onto a lot of different products. You probably know him. A good friend 😊
@@vernelljohnson6037 I'VE READ / OR HEARD SOMEWHERE THAT ERASING THE STORED INFO ALLOWS THE CHIP TO RECORD THE "NEW" VIN , I WOULD'NT WANT TO CHANCE IT WITHOUT CONFIRMATION
Great Video !! Thank you for patiently explaining your techniques ! I learned a lot and its extremely useful for my current situation. Subscribing to your channel now !!!
Wonderful video. The only one that is truly useful for this technique. l have a potential problem. I removed the eprom chip from the "new" radio but it does not have the identifying features described. There is no printing on the chip and is square-edged on all sides. I will remove the chip from the old radio tomorrow but need to be sure I don't install it backwards in the new radio. Any tips?
That is not an eeprom sir that's a high side switch in a so-8 package. Nice camera, Does it stream well to something like obs or did you edit the video afterword's.
Hey mario we have a 1997 Holiday Rambler Endeavor LE RV F53 CHASSIS F350 460 engine. We have an issue that can possibly be the PCM. How do we get the pcm tested? We live in the rv and cant afford a new one.
I have a 2004 ML 350 and the dealer said they can't fix it because the AAM is out of production and VIN specific, so a used one can NOT be used. Will your SYSTEM after replacement work in my car? If so, with annual Texas car inspection/license will the vin be different? Is there anyone in Dallas Texas who has your skills?
Hi nice & interesting to watch, he makes it look easy. I wish ,I had his ability.. Question I have a 04 Focus SVT the ecu has no communication on the OBD port or to the Cluster, shows -'----- in miles area or no fuel or spark. So I got a used ecu from a 03 svt focus, bypass the pat system by taping the key that came with the replacement ecu, And car now start & runs..But car has a Supercharger And I have a SCT tuner with the tunes that I need but the SCT scanner is married to the oem ecu. Need help on how can I get the oem ecu fix or how can I get the Vin transfer to the replacement ecu..
@@SuperMarioDiagnosticsha ha no i’m quite good at soldering, but still a lot of room for improvement, but did some repairs after DIY people messed with boards.
@@SuperMarioDiagnostics oh yeah brother, it brings automotive repair to the next level, especially here in canada where most of the shops just replacing half of the car at once 😂
Do you have any recommendations for resources for a complete nub when it comes to learning and doing this stuff? Equipment needed, how to read and write data on chips, finding code for programming, etc? I'm a senior master Subaru tech and see the value in having this skill in the shop even at the dealer level.
Hey brother I have a 2017 BOSXTER and I just got a used rear end module and I can’t program it using Maxisys elite and I’m trying to locate the eeprom to swap it, can you help me out finding the right location to determine the right one to swap? Will be much appreciated
Will it bricked the rear end donor? I don’t mind giving it a try I don’t really care about the donor module, I was only able to copy the data from the old to the donor I can see the vin is been written on it but when I’m trying to coding online with the Maxisys Elite it failed. I have the emmobilizer fault code on the memory of the rear end control module, Maybe by swapping EPROMs I will fix it. I can’t virginized this thing and I don’t really want to buy a new module and try to program with the elite. Sending it to porsche to programming will kill my pocket
You don’t have a choice. This requires online programming and immobilizer servicing with legit Porsche scanner There is no cloning of these modules at this time
Have you made any upgrades to your equipment? I've noticed in a recent video that you have gotten a microscope. Still like the hakko and the hot air machine?
@@SuperMarioDiagnostics thanks for the reply 🤙🏻 I have the hakko on the way, a cheapo beginner hot air similar to the one in this video, plugable microscope, and a pcbite frame with sp10 probes otw.

While I wait for VVDI I am going to try a few things with XP400. Wish me luck lol
This is literally frying my brain,having come from a background of doing stained glass for 20 years and feel like i was born with a solder bolt in my hand,i can't remove an eeprom from a circuit board????I feel like my head is going to implode!!

you are still the number one in my universe, a humble technician, good presentation, cool dress code, I wish you are paid for being alive.
Mario!!! Man what a valuable video my man. This is absolutely going to become more and more necessary as cars become more and more computer based in function.
Having to do stuff nobody else can do , I think that's gonna be my best bit of the video ,,,,

Informative interesting stuff! Having had a computer repair business this pretty much relates to it.
For flux removal and cleaning in general you can use 90% isopropyl alcohol and wipe with a Q tip.

How do you locate the right EEPROM for removal? Looking at a circuit board there are so many 8 pin EEPROMS.
Thanks Mario. I have a few modules I've saved for practice and will be sure to implement what you've demonstrated here
Thanks for the great demo and info Mario. Never seen this done before, very interesting.

Thanks for the heads up and the comment Arthur!
super m can the little chip that people remove on locked radios, with stored vin info, be replaced , causing the radio to work & store the new vin .
I have the same question
@@vernelljohnson6037 I'VE READ / OR HEARD SOMEWHERE THAT ERASING THE STORED INFO ALLOWS THE CHIP TO RECORD THE "NEW" VIN , I WOULD'NT WANT TO CHANCE IT WITHOUT CONFIRMATION
Can the eeprom be bypassed to bypass the immobilizer for a motor swap?

How much do you charge for this type of service? If the customer provides the parts?
A great video and excellent technique, Mario! I hope all is well with you and the family.
How would you bypass an eeprom? Reprogram it? What program would you need to get it to function without having to use a specific key?
very educational video. You have gained a sub, thanks!

What happens if you bridge the connections with solder
Clean your tip, reflow, and pull from the chip outwards. At worst, stick the end of some clean/unused wick in there.
