Can you communicate with the PCM via aldl bus.
If you get data, tside flash and bin is good. And you should check eside.Maybe the eside on the PCM is bricked.{Runnig fans point to that}
Also there is two types of raw bins. One is full of zeroes, the other with FFs
Try reading the bin with eehack.
And see what side can you communicate with.
Thank you kur4o for the help. I can't connect to the PCM at all at the moment using aldl at all. To program the chip I'm using a TL66 chip programmer. I just located the last known working 28F512 chip that was on my last PCM and gave it a read. Looking at the data from the TL66 it appears to be the BNDH bin file. I may have got the Flash Blue Gray file mixed up with the BNDH one. I haven't tried the BNDH file since I found that one pin not soldered because I thought for sure it didn't work on my last socket job. I hope I'm just a big dummy and got the two files mixed up. I'll keep you posted. Thanks again for the help. I need it
I haven't done any chip flashing for a long time....but FYI I "kinda" remember a situation where I used the AMD AM28F512 chip data. Try it won't hurt. Try reversing and reflashing the chips...hope you have extra chips?
Thanks EDZIP, I do have 9 chips total. Well tried the BNDH file and fans came right on as I turn the key. I actually tried to start it for craps and giggles and would fire right up but go dead 5 sec later. It did this every start up. It would not connect with aldl cable. I do have 3-4 virgin chips I'll play with. I just don't understand. I did a much much better job on this solder job and now look at me. It has nothing to do with it being a B-Body PCM right. I know that is stupid question being the PCM part numbers are the same but I just thinking. It is for sure an Intel chip. I'll get it. It's hard for me to give up on something. If you guys think of something please let me know. I'll keep you posted.
I apologize for hijacking this post. Finally had time to mess with it today. After much testing I finally got it going. Apparently the chip has to be seated way further up than I thought. I know a lot of you told me that was something to no over look and knew that had to be the issue. I stacked 4 cut pieces of credit card for the floor. I tried from none all the way up till I got to the 4th piece before it worked.
On the first PCM that had the corrosion. I removed the socket and put a new one in. It's the same way being that it needed 4 pieces of credit card for the floor. I don't understand how when I did that first one, one piece worked and not now. Ohh well both are working,,,,,so far haha.
Thank you for all the help guys!
Good for you..I suspect that the spring tension and contact alignment were affected during the R&R process. Could be the sockets also..if you get in a bind I have extras that were made in Israel.
I thought I had replied. Thanks EDZIP, where did you purchase your sockets. I have 2 types in which both have their pros and cons.
