IPK chip

Ford Prefect · 18th June 2013, 09:33

I have obtained an IPK with no lines on the trip computer display, or it did not when I saw it working! However I believe in order to make it behave I need to swap a chip from my original to the new one. I can deal with SMD devices but need to know which one.

Yes, that's perfect!

Although I am now wonding if theres a better way.. can it be programmed in situ using a SOIC 8 pin clip and a programmer? just take a dump (no thats not a joke!) of the original and transfer it, less messy and should work? I may have to experement with my spare IPK I have for just such research!

Yes, you can do it with an SOIC test clip, but only with the message centre version.
The lowline doesn't support in circuit programming

As Brian says above you can use a SOIC clip to transfer the data but it can be difficult sometimes the successfully transfer the data without error.

I much prefer to transfer the chip or reprogramme off the board as it's far more reliable
