I have a little problem with the driven programmer and also with the simple programmer.

PonyProg and ICProg can´t find the programmer. After Calibration the Setup-tests for the programmer always fails.

I got it. I made a little misstake while connecting the wires to the subD9 connector. Now it works fine.

Thx

No, sadly not.

The driven programmer works fine, it reads the unsolded and the first solded, the both I have allready rode, but it isn´t able to read this second solded eeprom.

PonyProg stop the reading with "Device is not responding"

I sussed out that the eeprom has 5V Vcc even the Toshi is off. Could the Bus also be active while the Toshi is off?

/edit

Finaly I got it!!!

I tried something do-not. I connected the GND, SDA, SCL and Vcc direct at the mainboard while the Laptop was complete off power and start PonyProg. And it worked. Smile

I changed the Bios Password 4 times and readed the eeprom each time after reboot. I can not read my passwords in clear, but I found the passwords in each eeprom-file at the same place with the correct numbers of letters.

My new problem is now, how can I make a propper translation?
