Please watch the follow up video here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fKeJidOp09y9m2w.html

you're a life saver. I spent two hours just trying to find the right drivers & other goodies that go with this programmer. Have a Merry Christmas

Well put together and informative. The wry humor is a bonus, so thanks and well done.

Impressive you were actually able to read/write to the chip. With the display in the way and on the board I never had any luck. I always remove the chips and use the adapter instead. I also don't like bending the pins on the VFD to get the clips on. Good content!

Great video Matt. Might have to pick one of these things up in the future.

Thanks for walking me through the software process.

I bought one of these to convert a chromebook to uefi for windows, had no idea it could be used on my cluster. Thank you!

Couln't read a bios chip till I watched this video...Your idea of stuff pullung the voltage down made sense so I tried it without the 1.8 adapter with the chip in circuit... It worked! I was able to remove password and write the chip. SMJ 23

Great video dude!

You are absolutely correct, to operate this in 5v mode all you do is fit a jumper across the 3.3v and 5v rails on the pin header, effectively bypassing the 3.3v regulator completely. No need to lift any legs , cut tracks or solder anything.

Thanks for class.

Hopefully you guys find this useful. I did mean to say that 3.3v could potentially get pulled down lower than 2.5v not 5v ( the ST95020 will work from 2.5v to 5.5v). Not picking on Dr Shock I just know people do this mod all the time based on google and what Raul told me about it.

Thanks for the vid. The vid you talk of renewed my search to smoke electronics.. Once I got my programmer it just looked like a jumper would work, It did, so no rewire mod for me. The chip clip gave out about the time I started to figure out what I was Kind of doing. My big hurdle is figuring out what the EEproms are VRS the labeling on them. Didn't even consider that other rail to wire the chip reading ability.. thanks again.

Thats been my Go-To for a while. Using the header pins with leads that I'll then solder onto the back of the 99-02's daughter board works great! I agree, those clips suck, I just buy them in bulk.

I've used this for quite a while and finally broke down and bought obdstar x300m and use it on a obd2 port added to my bench harness and it's much faster... However, you will still have to use the eprom reader/writer if changing vin/adding transmission temperature gauge..

Just ordered me one last night. Looks like I'll be having trans temp here soon. Could you make a video on how to do it on a 06 with this device. Thanks again. Love the videos.

27:00 the PCB is for external 24Cxx EEPROM for config read on reset. It can be customized using CH341CFG, change VENDOR, PRODUCT ID and serial and mode without hardware jumper.

In the video you are referring to, he is doing the 5v mod because there is a flaw on the CH341 that he has. I had to watch it a couple times to catch what he is saying. Start at 5:35 and he shows that he does not have 5v on pin 1, which he says you need for automotive work. On my CH341, the 5v pin is connected to pin 1, so if I use the jumper, I get 5v on the pin 1.

Do you have a link where I can buy the leds you use on clusters ?

Great video Question , what should the ch341a look like to read 93cxx eeprom chips with the test clip ? What do I need to connect to get this reading done

Thank you

Excellent video... I have a GMC Terrain and the radio died. GM designed it such that the deck controls the entire centre console and requires the VIN to match. They want $1000 for a deck and $200 for reprogramming. Will give this a try on a $60 used deck from the wreckers instead.

Help! I just accidentally broke one of the legs in my eeprom do I need to buy one or does it work with solder?

Hello what about hp bios files .exe it gives 4 .bin files if i choose to make a copy on this pc. which bios file i choose?

I bought this exact one when I first started messing with trans temp in circuit programming. Couldn't find a software for it back then to make it read a eeprom. I also did the mod from that video and it's still sitting in tool box since then lol. Bought an AR32 and haven't looked back.

Can you please help me to fix my tiger T800 plus full HD receiver flash? It's not working after take a bad file software by USB. My regards.

Good video. What would I change to add trans temp on the cluster?

To check if the center pins on the 3v3 regulator are common just measure the resistance across them you don’t need to lift the component. I’m sure they are common as this is evident on another video where they are reducing the data lines to 3v3

On the back of the programmer where you can solder chips on for programming if you look close enough there is a diagram of the chip printed on the board. The outer one doesn't really say which is pin 1 but the diagram shows you the direction of the chip and if you look at the pads one is different than the rest, safe to assume that one is pin 1. As for the inner one pin one has a circle next to it.

thanks for the video would this work for thee needle sweep on a 2009 mk6 golf gti

will this write to a 93 micro wire series eeprom as it comes....Thank you

Question. I did a swap on my vw. I just want to get the skc code off of the st95040 chip. I don't want the cheapest chip programmer/reader, when I look at Amazon I see all kinds of listings for what appear to be the exact same kinds of programmers under all kinds of different names. Is there a way to know which are genuine and which are knock off? I want a decent setup that will allow me to be able to do effective and reliable chip programming. Any recommendations for brand and type of programmer?

Bro, I'm struggling to get a M35080 to be recognized. I have both jumpers setup exactly like you did in the video. I can't get the clips to stay on, so I solder the chip to the small boards we get with the programmer. I've tried both 24 and 25 with no success.

Hi sir can I use it also for hard drive bios ? thanks

thank you for all the informations. How do we set up 3.3V and how 5V? my jumper is at pin 1 and 2 and i think this is for spi. My bios chip is mx-12g 25l1605dm2i and it needs 3.3V. I have CH341A black edition like yours. I measured programmer's data pin and i get 5V. i guess this will probably damage my bios chip. AsProgrammer_1.4.1 doesn't recognize the bios chip. Any suggestions?

Can we read and program DS 2431 ic using this device??

What is the other jumper that comes on the board for. Seems to jump pins 1 and 2. First time user

Anyone know how to read MX25L12833F it doesn’t seem to be supported anywhere

Hello mate, I have a question that you probably will be able to answer. I’m trying to read a chip that looks like a 93c66w. Actually there is two numbers on it: that one and in the second line it is written 9533w if I’m seen right. So while trying to read it with asprogrammer I have a “check settings” error message while trying to read it as 93c66. I read somewhere that you can read them as a 24xxx or 25xxx chip. What can I possible do? Reason for it is to recover a lost code from a instrument cluster I have laying around as a learning process

Hi there can you please help me out on programming eeprom 93c46 using that ch341a

I'm a bit lost here with regard to the jumper between 3.3v and 5v. According to the schematic, install the jumper = everything will be 5v? Remove the jumper = everything will be 3.3v?

can this ch 341a read the 93cxx chips ?

I modded mine so the interface chip runs on 3.3v for flash computer bios chip because while it has the 3.3v option the data lines are still being pulled to 5v & can fry chips.

Will this work to clone a eeprom from a Honda? S93C56 chip.

Hey, just came across this while watching DrShock's video. I'm looking to program a 93XXX chip that needs 5V apparently, you mention that I can just add a jumper but in the video at one point you said add a jumper between the 3v a d 5V to give it 3V. So is it 5V with the jumper inserted or not inserted ?

Trying to read a ATMEL 25020 chip but it not reading, Do you think its bad or do you think I have the setting wrong on my CH341A?

Problem not erase spi flash My problems with this programmer do not erase spi flash can you help me

Hi man . I have a very important questions for me. Can you answer and help me please ? I bought this programmer With clip And two " extensions " Blue PCB SOP16/8 And green PCB . Actually i was trying to connect a chip 93c56 from my cluster gauges from Almera N16 1.8 2002 .Once for a few seconds i get chip loaded With As Programming Tool , but connection was lost. My Cliper works really bad , he Is falling down from a chip . Doesnt hold. But sometimes he does. I was able to load a chip for a few seconds through Yellow connectors on the side of programmer. My LED "run" is lighting only when i use a HEAD connection 24 EEPROM , but i have to hold a clip on a chip. On a Yellow connectors no "RUN" led lighting , ONLY red power. But program Is saying that sucesfully loaded a chip.. but Its not loading , after load And changing a clip position Are changing a letters from 00 00 to FF FF FF . SOMETIMES!!! hex text jumps to " ?" Or "#" . Once i had a full Hex text. What am i doing bad ? From your video i got that this programmer can read And edit 93Cxx Microwire chips. Why i can't load a chip ? Thanks man. I Hope u Will answer , because your video Is top about EEproms.

So can this be used to program gm trans temp?

Can you show how to program a trans temp on a Silverado cluster with that new eprogrammer please!

How do I do millage correction with this ?

Great video! BTW, the guy on the modification video doesn't know too much about electronics, judging from the meter he uses 😜

I keep getting error connecting ch341(-1) message I have all the driver's installed

When I listen to you, you seem to be very interested in the same sort of stuff I am, I’d love to pick your brain if you’re interested!

Greetings, the BIOS flasher w/ Test clip to flash BIOS and EEPROM chips is an interesting resolve I being clueless such a fix existed. Considering I've been spending endless hours attempting to normalize my corrupt BIOS that invaded my gravity standing sideways. I have a dysfunctional Lenovo YOGA 730-15IKB Laptop, question; Are the flasher Test clip Devices universal for all computers or device specific for specific model computers? Thank you very much for posting a vital answer for this educational post for all of us, remain well in peaceful balance to take good care of it all...

More views than your video can get eh? I'd say you are pretty damn close! 18236 on 2/13/22 :)

Please i need dump for spi 25x10clnig Main Board tp ms338 pc821 FHD smart tv Android 4.4 Panel v390hj1-ce3 Thankyou

Error connecting CH341(-1) Keep getting this error no matter what I try. Perhaps the driver links don't work with mine.

I know this is a fairly old video, and you've posted up the follow up video going over the fatal flaw with this programmer, however, i'm risking it all for the biscuit. lol. i believe i have the hardware setup correctly just by watching this video (when you were setting up your hardware, you did it off screen, so i couldn't really see exactly HOW you set up the hardware), and i've got the clip set on the eeprom without "cross connecting" per your follow up video. the red indicator light illuminates showing the CH341A has power, however when i try to read the chip in AsProgrammer, it says "Error Connecting CH341A (-1)." the "run" indicator light does NOT illuminate at all. Would you say this is a defective unit or do you think i may be doing something wrong? i've been wanting to get trans temp in my avalanche for the better part of about 4 years or so, and i'm finally getting around to actually attempting it. lol. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

27:13 Use an ohm Ω meter to check the pin-out locations.

Great information. Awesome video. So, there may be no need disconnecting the 3.3V . If for any reason you don't want 3.3V at all, it would be best to raise the regulator input leg (5V input); which is the pin closest to R1 as seen at 21:40. If the regulator has no input, then it cannot give output.

💯♥️💯♥️💯

i just get the error connecting ch341(-1

so your saying all i had to do is use breadboard jumpers on the yellow rail part instead of soldering wires and just use the jumper it came with for 5v wth lol so much easier

Dear Bro, you are forgetting that you don't need to pull out EEPROM with clip. It's big plus.

i have done the same just did not think thanks we all miss things.

Show how to do it instead .

lol you need to critique more of these youtube "gurus"

No mod needed for 5v, it's for 3.3v (most used in non-automotive chips). The USB outputs only 5v from factory and has to be modified to obtain 3.3v .

7 minutes in this video and all i've heard is garbage about Chinese labor market and obvious issues with these programmers.
