Thank you your quickly reply.

I couldn't find the ATMEL 24RF08 chip. Where is 24RF08 located on R61?

Please support me asap?

The eeprom is marked P24S08 and is a 8 pin SOIC. I'll take a closer look at those pics, only to mention some R61 models have the eeprom on the underside

Thank you your kind support.

My provlem was solved. I didn't find the correct chip which had 8 pins. So, I don't have any idea, then I have rolled back.

But result was very good! supervisor password was cleared completely. The main power battery and BIOS battery were disconnected during the time.

I think that anybody can be unlock supervisor password by disconnect power resources. But not sure 100%

Thanks again,

No, you had only the power on password which is simply cleared by removing the 3V cell.

Supervisor is stored into the eeprom P24S08. Which as I said is there, not in your picture tough, you didn't covered the entire board so I couldn't guide you more.

If you are willing to sped a little more time on that (I doubt you would, but anyway..), we would appreciate if you can take some more shots and send them via email at support(atsign)allservice(dot)ro.

need some help howto solve this problem.

successfully read the eeprom in tp r61,
after boot there is an error

0187 : EAIA data access error

0191 : System Security - Invalid remote change requested

[bob]

0187 EAIA - Have you soldered the eeprom legs? There is a SC between the legs or eeprom has a bad contact with the PCB.

[gilasenak]
