Soldering socket and installing flashable module

First I’m sorry for posting I wanted to try to private rob m as I know you bought boost buttons Cals but I couldn’t get pictures to load. I ordered the socket and flash module thinking it was more straight forward. I’m not sure how the socket should be solder in as it doesn’t look like it can go both ways. Also chip can go either way. Should have bought it already soldered in but thought why not I’m pretty decent with de soldering and soldering exact parts. Any help would be great can also do it privately so it’s not interfering with anybody’s business. Thanks

This is for the SBEC but may help you a bit https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B6...29qWlA3ajdlWEk

For the SMEC this is a different model but shows the orientation of the board http://www.merkurboys.com/wiki/index...C:FlashInstall

On the socket, the half moon cutout on the end, is next to pin #1. #1 pin on the BB board is labelled, right next to the "A15". So match those two up. That's how the board goes in the socket.

There is supposed to be a number 1 on the SMEC board next to pad #1, but I cannot see it in your picture. I forget which corner it's in, I haven't been in my socketed SMEC in about 6 months...

Found the 1 on the board. Soldered the socket on. Will be finishing up soldering a15 rw and prog up tonight and bridge the zener diode. Wanted to say thanks for the info and hopefully next week I’ll be flashing the chip

Are flash modules available again? :hail:

I’m not sure I bought mine and never did anything with as my car got smashed

Force fed mopar maybe selling them

I thought you purchased it recently, was hoping he started selling them.

I hope so too. I want to do it with my charger too

Whoa! You don't need both of those for the SMEC. The 3-chip module is the SMEC flash module.

The 2nd board is a latch board. You only need that for the SBEC. And, in fact, I'm pretty sure installing it in the SMEC will render it inop.

I never made a new install process. I always referenced this one: http://www.merkurboys.com/wiki/index...C:FlashInstall

My module layout was a little different, but the pin names and wire connections are the same as above. The 'E' pin is N/C on my module.

Damn it all has to come apart lol well it happens I should have paid you the extra money to do it. What is the e pin as I’m not seeing it

I’m sorry for no t being clear what do I hook the e pin too. I see zener diode program and a15 and r/w but nothing for e

Nothing. It's not actually connected to anything on the board (on the SMEC board, anyway)...

The E pin is used on the SBEC board, and I drew that pinout and used it on both board layouts just to be easy...

Oh okay thank you for the help. It’s greatly appreciated
