Spoon P13 Chip Fitting Issues!

CrunchyAdams82 · Post by **CrunchyAdams82** » Wed Apr 03, 2013 1:38 pm

No 'JDM-BB4' sorted me out with a Spoon P13 copy chip, and I used this on my existing ecu.

Now the ecu seems to be drokked. I assume the chip is still ok.

It should be alright. Zanzep's ECU looked fooked as well but it was brought back to life

yeah he offered me ecu & chip for £50 delivered, which was nice.

I only took the chip for £20 though as the ecu is not ideally suited for my tics setup.

so i'm hoping he's still got the ecu (with socket attached) for £30.

that would be my best bet i'd imagine.

sent a pm, just gotta wait for him to get back to me..

I hope it will be alright ultimately.

If I do send it off to @bluejackhustler, i'll ask him to fit a socket as well. this should save a lot of trouble in the future.

how much does he charsge typically for such a service? (assuming he can fix it)

Ok, so I've ordered the socketed ECU off @JDM-BB4.

He's posting it out 1st class tomorrow, so I should receive it Friday. Happy days!

Hopefully that should get me back on the road..

I'll keep you posted.

Cool man! Fingers crossed

Fingers AND toes crossed Sir!

I hope this is a simple fix. I can't see there should be any other problems..

But we'll find out on Friday.

Are you sure you've got solder through to the other side of the circuit board?

Also not broken any tracks on the side the Chip attaches too?

I broke one that was a link between the top and bottom, soldered in a bit of wire and fixed it.

Give it a good look over and see if you can see any issues

I'll have another good look later, but couldn't see anything wrong initially.

Have a good look. With a magnifying glass too. Could be tiny. My w/shop controller was sitting at his desk with a mag glass and an old accord clock. I wondered what the feck he was doing lol. He fixed it to my amazement.
