It's not all that cooked as you can see..pretty sure it's still viable. The 3in1 harbor freight soldering iron works pretty good but as I said the lettering is hardly visible. Soldered it back on a little crooked but that eeprom is tiny af.

Thanks Gampy , I kept hinting at a hint. I did just buy a bcm today and gonna try and solder it over. Just wished he would tell me what would happen with this script. Things were like shit isn't going to get worse but people were misunderstanding what was happening now. Sorry Fur4o. I've been trying...

The hot air pen i was using is butane and the lettering is no longer visible on the chip so i don't know if it's any good now. You can damage them with a lot less heat than that. There is a very strong chance its dead. If your happy with things, its probably a good place to stop. Hey Antus, What ex...

A hot air reworking station will remove the chip easily, and resolder the chip back on as well. I had one but some idiot stole it. I think i'm just going to stick with this se bcm, seems to work fine with vats turned off. I'm a bit hesitant to try this script purposed because things are working alr...

It is time to bite the bullet. ANyway it won`t get worse than this. Run this script and save results to a .rtf file. From universal patcher->utilities->logger settings tab->select device->connect vpw->vpw console->check 'enable vpw console',uncheck 'buffered', check 'screen'->upload script button->...

The one I had behaved weird to the point it started spamming the bus in unusual way, lost communication. I run the scripts[itsend messages in a loopwith extrenal configuration rather than hardcoding it in the program] on the test bcm and it is still alive and did much more than you can imagine. If ...

Tech2 win just freaks out and starts doing the initial screen before the enter screen with all the pass pass pass pass etc. Not sure if you're familiar with tech2. So it doesn't even get to the point where you would select the car and model year? It freaks out when its connected and tech2 app doesn...

I had a bad unit laying around and start doing some tests with it. With some experiments, managed to change various stuff. You will need to run some scripts on both units with universal patcher, Are you familiar with it. It doesn`t matter on bench or in car. I'm a beginner with universal patcher, I...

If you want we can give it a try.

By the pictures the unit looks identical to the w-body bcm, so chances it will work are good.

We can give it a shot, When did you learn to do this? And what exactly does it do?

Actually it can be done. I have changed vin and options on 2002 w-body v6 bcm, I am almost sure they are very similar. Than you will need vats relearn with key on key off for 3x10mins. N body and i read that dealerships could only install virgin bcms. So how'd you do it? Tech2win wants to reset as ...
