Hi Dev,

Glad to see that you're fine, my friend Smile

There is an article that you might find usefull, but I guess you have already dumped the eeprom. Can I see it?

I updated the link to our server, thanks for the picture.

I've lost it, replace with yours, and I'll change it later.

But do you still have the chip? You may polish off the "plastic" around the leg, just a little, then try to solder a thin magnet wire to the remaining part.

Just a thought..
