    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

    Re: Soldering socket and installing flashable module

    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

    Re: Soldering socket and installing flashable module

    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.

    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...
