i need help with info, i dont know where to find the eprom or what model it is. i think it may be 24c01. how or where do i find the info for building a reader and what software can be used to access the read data.

[bob]

What machine type it is, 9548 or 9549?

[melissamacd]

9548-51u i have it totally dismantled looking for the eeprom, which i can't seem to find.

Then look for a small 24c01 8 pins. It is there (could be noted 24LC01, C01, etc) in the BIOS/ Chip set area, you gotta see it.

i found it, small (IMHO), is an understatement. i am not going to be able to soldier to it.

I get this eeprom not available error, i tried to make the module 3 times all three give me this error. I can't get into the bios. I tried that battery thing, and still the same thing, I tried f1 on power up and nothing it all goes back to the same error and padlock screen .F1 does nothing. When I power on, i have 163,161, errors, then to a padlock screen. I press f1 there and nothing, i press enter at the padlock and it takes me to a box listing the errors again, sayin ok or cancel. If i hit ok, then i go to a box that has an arrow pointing to a book. If i hit cancel, the same thing. what am i doing wrong. I have tried a different module, but i get an error saying something about circuit not available or something. the other module i made was on this forum, it had the zener and the resistors on the d9 and wires from that, problem is I can't tell which wire is which from the picture, it looks like he used speaker wire.

To read 24c01 use PONYPROG 2.05 or 2.06, not R24RF08.

Also build the driven i2c programmer.

See the procedure here:

P.S. I still believe that you need help from somebody who knows better how to handle this.
