Hi
In the past, I have been asked if I could show how to remove and solder EEPROMS and other chips...
I decide to record this small video explaining how I do it, and sharing some of the techniques used.
I am sure that there is other great videos out there showing this, this is just the way I do...

Hi I'm trying to remove a eeprom but for some reason the solder will not melt iv tried it at 400c with hot air and will not melt any help will be grate
@@davidflanagan4420
Plenty of flux...
Mix some lead solder, that will help reduce the melting point...
Job done!
👍👍👍👍
@@LMAutoRepairs thank you so just add some solder and flux with iron then more flux and hot air and hopefully it will work 😃
Hi, thanks for this great video. Have really learnt a lot. Going on a practice spree. Some old boards going to get hurt.
☺️
👍👍👍
I had to swop the eprom over onto another set of speedo clocks on my vectra c, so It would diaplay the correct milage. Worked a treat considering it was my first time desoldering and re-soldering a eprom. Great video as always.

Great stuff... thank you for watching and for your comment!
Already replied... no need to post the same thing twice...😉
I watch so many of your videos! I qualified as a service tech from Audi a year and a half ago and I’d dream to have the knowledge you have!!
Great achievement!
Congratulations!
Thank you for watching and for your comment!
I've never found better video about soldering chips. I've failed trying to solder eeprom but after I watched this video I wish to try again. Just need to find out first what kind of flux and solder is good for this kind of job.
Hi
Read description!
Thank you for the nice comment, and for watching the video!
Wow very great techniques some id had not of thought about or thought would work. Good stuff!!
😊
Thanks!
👍👍👍
Thank you for this informative video. I do alot of this an it is not as easy as it looks. You do a nice job with them.
😊
Thanks!
👍👍👍
Hi thanks for sharing such a informative and practical demonstration on how to desolder and solder
I was wondering if you you can make video on how to open a ecu cover and also how to remove the circuit board off the back cover like the board you used in in this video Many again
Hi
I think I never recorded that...
I will plan it for the next time I have to open one...
Thank you for watching and for your comment!
👍👍👍
Great video very informative and straight to the point. Keep up the good work.
Thanks!
👍👍👍
Thank you for the intro man. You deserve respect 👍👍👍

Hi
Thank you for the kind comment and for watching the video!...

I noticed on first technique you applied the flux as a glue to hold epprom like chip in place before heating the legs up again. I am reading you said you need to clean flux off so you get a good read. I am going to attempt to replace the epprom chip on my TV and want to know if first technique will work. How do you clean it if you use it as glue?
I don't use it as a glue... that is just the flux consistency... you can clean using alcohol...
Thank you for watching and for your comment!
Finally, i was waiting for this video, yes there are more videos of chip welding but they don't explain anything good job, greetings from Chile
PatoStereo
Thanks!
👍👍👍👍
Does the aluminum tape not short out anything?
What do you use to clean the circuit board?
Short?
The board is not powered...
And once the work done, the tape is removed...
I use isopropyl alcohol...
👍👍👍

Thank you for watching, for the subscription and for your comment!
Frankly I have learned too much from you ... Thank you a lot.
😊
👍👍👍
Hi do you determine what chip is faulty and how do you know which chip operates a particular component. Thanks
Hi
Eeprom always stores immo and configuration data...
So, that's an easy one...
The other ones comes with experience an research... if that makes sense...
Thank you for watching and for your comment!
Great video. I learned a lot from your videos. Thank you
Hi
Thank you, for watching and for your comment!
Glad you enjoyed the video!
Great video 💪😃 did you using same flux for soldering and desoldering?
Yes... I use the same...
👍👍👍
Can this be done to "clone" a replacement instrument cluster with immobilizer and milage data so the car will start?
Yes...
Providing you replace the correct chips...
Thank you for watching and for your comment!
Hi man! I was trying to remove eeprom from toyotas immobilizer on 300 degree, same air speed, but it doesn't want to come off. What can be a problem???
Use flux to help out... if the pcb is lead free, with the soldering iron to mix some lead solder...
Another thing is, if your hot air gun temp is not correct, or you are keeping it too far from the chip...
Hope that helps...
Thank you for watching!
Thank you!!!
What temperature is your heatgun to melt the solder?One i bought was a 500 degrees centigrade one,eeprom won't budge????
Probably lead free solder, but, at that temperature should do...
Maybe that 500 reading is incorrect...
Use some lead solder to mix with the lead free solder using the soldering iron, then should easily come of...
👍👍👍
@@LMAutoRepairs Thanks,unfortunately 2 of the eeprom pads have dislodged on the pcb due to my frustration!! :-/Luckily it was a module i bought to practice key programming etc on.
Carry on practicing, as I said, use lead solder to mix with the lead free, that helps a lot...
Or buy some low temp solder for those situations...
👍👍👍
Thank you. You just earned another subscriber :). Can you make a short video to solder the eeprom with soldering paste with hot gun. I just need to make sure the right temp and which paste is the best, because I just keep burning the eeprom legs :). I bought some chip electronic stuff, just to practice with eeprom soldering.
At the first try, I did an amazing soldering, it was the ECM of 2001 Lexus RX300, but I don't remember which paste I choose T3 or T5 and what temp I choose. Since then, I keep burning eeproms.
Anyway,
Thank you
Hi
I will plan that in... the hot air gun temp varies... it is also important the distance from the chip... if that makes sense...

Thank you!
😊👍👍👍
I'm curious how you desoldered the cpu chip from that board... Doesn't the solder on one side of the chip re-harden as your going around the chip with the soldering iron when there are that many pins?
Yes... you need to be quick...
I have another video on that coming soon...
Stay tuned...
Thank you for watching and for your comment!
I am trying to find where the immobilizer chip is located on the motherboard of a 2007 Toyota Corolla matrix-having a very hard time. Was wondering if you know where I could find the information?
On which module?
Thank you for watching!
On the main engine computer for a 2007 matrix.
@@nicholasrolla2937
Hi
Either in the external eprom, or in the eprom of the MCU.
Some cars can have it on the flash of the MCU as well... you need to search for that specific ecu...
If you ever run out of the Aluminium tape, google Kapton tape - it is made for protecting heat sensitive devices / plastics etc. The tape also isn't conductive like the aluminium tape.
I actually have some of that...😉
Thank you for watching and for your comment!

How easy or difficult is it desoldering and soldering a msop8 which is alot smaller? I need to work on one soon but unsure whether to tackle it....

I followed your video on how to replace eeprom on my 2005 206. I took the eeprom from the original burnt out bsi and put it on another bsi( second hand). But now i have an immobilizer fault show up. What can I do? (Great videos thanks).
Which chip have you swapped?
What was written on it?
Thank you for watching and for your comment!
@@LMAutoRepairs Hey, thanks for getting back to me. The chip I replaced was the 8 pin right on the back. Number 951603 9534w.
I really appreciate your videos because getting anything done here in Australia is super expensive and takes forever, so you have been a lifesaver.
@@richardwallace5322
OK...
The software versions, are they the same, on the old one and on the replacement one?
If the software versions are different, that might not work...
@@LMAutoRepairs I assumed they would be the same. I ordered Lexia 3; so when that arrives I will delve a little deeper. Thanks for the hint.
BTW are you in Northern Ireland?
@@richardwallace5322
No worries...
No, I am in the mainland...
Great Video mate, im just looking at going into eeprom work, why do you clean the chip? what does that do? and what is the use of the flux?
also what is the cleaner you used?
The flux is to remove oxidized metal from the surface of the metal... just Google it...
To clean, I use isopropyl alcohol...
You need to clean, specially if you plan to read it... otherwise the flux prevents a good electric contact...
Thank you for watching and for your comment!
Add flux on pads after removing parts and melt the solder on them with heat gun before replace components!
Thank you for sharing this video with us,but I would like to ask,Does the direction of the chip matter when you remove it,and replace it with another one,or use the same one?
Hi
Yes it does!!!!
In this video I was focusing on how to solder and desolder...
On some other videos, I mention that, and how to mark the chip direction....
Thank you for watching, and for pointing it out!!!
Another Brilliant video, thanks this will come in handy... What soldering iron, flux, solder do you use?
Irfan Khalifa
Soldering, I use a temperature controlled soldering station...
The rest, look at the answer on the fixed top comment...

Can t help myself to ask me every time what are that two old crt tv for ,I have also two and planned to get rid of them long time ago ,but still keep it ..
LoL
One is indeed an old CRT TV, the flat screen one, is actually one of my computers monitor, which I don't plan to get rid of... at least for now... lol
Thank you for watching and for your comment!
Hi Luis, what brand of microscope are you using in this video? I'm trying to figure out which one to buy for detailed soldering jobs like the one you very kindly (and professionally!) showed. And it looked like the one you are using is giving pretty good results :)
Hi
The one I use is nothing special... is good to inspection, to actually solder and watch at the same time you might want something different...
Nut the one I use, you can easily find it on eBay... my one is the 500x version.
Hope that helps.
Thank you for watching!
@@LMAutoRepairs is it the one that comes with the screen, or the USB type, that looks like a bullet shape?

hello! i have a problem... when i try to read at 25010 eeprom, program will read only zeros what that means and what means if it shows only F:s.?
Thanks for help!
Hi
That's either a bad reading, due to poor connections etc... or the chip is blank...
Thank you for watching!
@@LMAutoRepairs i dont have yet any adapters so i used a4 adapter (from carprog set) and solder directly to eeprom. I have checked multiple times and they are correcly.
why i cant write anything to eeprom if its blank?
Im trying to put immo emulator to ford puma 1998 so i wonder that if i order new one if i cant write to this, can i just put those values over there what julie's manual has ? (carlabimmo.com/julie-manual)
sorry for the effort..
@@jusgaa
If you have everything connected correctly, and the programmer you are using is compatible with that eeprom, you should be able to write whatever... unless there is some sort of WP on that chip... you need to research....
@@LMAutoRepairs i can now read it but cant write it, have you heard about Block Write Protect Bits? if im correct you need to program the reader device to ''unlock'' to enable write. got the info from datasheet. have you done this before? theres not more info out there about that... (I think I bit off more than I could chew)
@@jusgaa
On some chips yes...

Thanks!
Great video. Do you do immo off ?
Very rarely...
I always aim to fix the issue rather than do that...
👍👍👍
I always wanted to know how to change them chips properly..tell me this can them chips go anyway around..awesome video by the way
Conor Cousins they dont go anyway around , there is always a mark position pin 1 side on chip but not always marked on the pcb so mabe you want to make a sign on pcb when desolder it.
Robermon YT
Absolutely correct!
I mention that on other videos...
👍👍
You have to mention that is much better to desold and sold by hot air when you have to test a lot with the chip, if you use solder iron more times you risk to damage traces because they are very thin.
Robermon YT
I don't even do that... when I predict I need to desolder and solder many timed for example, an eeprom, I just solder an adapter... 😋
But yes, you are correct... this was only a brief explanation on how to to do it... that's all...👍👍👍👍
bro. bro. please help. where do you get your diagrams to know where to solder?

Looking forward to that. Thanks

Video was good but you have applied heat on pins longer instead of doing it once. You may remove your bulky solder from pins with help of desoldering braid / solder wick. That is how you can apply less heat at once and remove bulky solder at once. After you may drag your soldering iron tip on pins only one time with little solder on tip. I usually do this technique and it's better way to not apply heat repeatedly on same pins or area.
Different techniques, same result...
This was just a brief demonstration...
Of course depending on what you are doing, you need to apply more or less heat, remove solder with wick first, etc...
Thank you for watching and for your comment!

Hi can i use the white normal solder paste to do this?

You approach this somewhat like Louis Rossman does. Only he relies heavily on scope views when he's doing work so you'll see what he's talking about. He's so much into anti-Apple ... you have to pick what videos to watch.

On an ECU is pretty much always the same... flash the maps, and eprom configurations and immo... there is sometimes immo data in the flash as well..

It’s best not to clean the pads with desoldering braid. Using braid improperly is the reason pads get ripped off boards. Instead use flux and add new solder to pads. There’s no reason to completely remove solder from pads.
I agree to disagree...
If you use the correct temperature and technique, no way you are going to rip the pads off... if it is happening to you, you are doing something wrong...
Thank you for watching and for your comment!
👍👍👍
@@LMAutoRepairs It doesn’t happen to me. I add fresh solder to the pads , replace with new part and reflow. It’s easy.
