As promised here are the pictures from ecu and program. It seems that one of the pins has a little something. I also have an older ecu with plcc44 chip inside. Can i use this instead so i can experiment on this one?

Hi Giannis,

It looks like factory-soldering. Very even on each pin, except the pin you are referring too. That looks 'touched'.

The PLCC-ecu cannot be used for reflashing sadly. I would really suggest you keep the AR computer for testing and
tuning. As the flashing of it, only takes 3 mins +/-.

We better find-out why you cannot flash it... it shall be nothing really big. You have the V12 MPPS, like i also have.

What specs are your computer that you use for this job ? I use a P4 old compaq and a newer celeron acer laptop.
They both work without any flaws. Let's rule-out machine-compatibility first. A fresh install of Win7 or XP works best.
Plus no antivirus or spywarescanners on, please. They can interfere....

the 018AR is a audi-ecu... you can also choose A3 under audi and M5.92... 1.8T. That also works. It's basically the same
way of reading it out.

You can diagnose this ecu via vagcom without any problems, right Huh

ifnot, you might be having other issues with this ecu Wink

Cheers,

PvL

What pvl said. I always connect with vcds if I have any issues flashing.

The weird think is that it's working great and on the car and with vcds. I was asking about the "older" ecu to use if they are compatible to use in this car. So i dont have to immobilize the car and have time to experiment on this. I know that it can't be reflashed. I think i'm gonna desolder the 29f200 and try to write on external programmer. Maybe there is something wrong with the chip. I think the black spot on that leg is not irrelevent. As you all testify none of you don't have any problems with those ecus. By the way the antivirus never got me any troubles why to do now? I really appriciate the help from all.

And a last question the flash memory it uses is a b58755m (29f200b) can i use a am29f20bb?

Desolder the chip, get a meritek socket and reprogram the chip in a eprom programmer.....
If the chip won't reprogram in the programmer... you found your issue Wink

You can in the meantime also try another, clean and freshly installed win7-32bit laptop/pc
and try to do a benchflash. Use the pins on the ecu like i did with my benchflash-loom.
In-car 90% gives trouble...

Best of luck !

Cheers,

PvL

thank you i was thinking the same. If the programmer can't write it so its the chip. I wouldn't like to format my pc for that reason and don't have a clean pc at the moment. I prefer the programmer. Thank you anyway i will post the results.

Friends AMD 29F200 flash memories have the following specs 2 Megabit (256 K x 8-Bit/128 K x 16-Bit) CMOS 5.0 Volt-only, Boot Sector Flash Memory.

And it part number or codes are:
AM29F200vw-xy where
v --> means A (0.5um technology) or B (0.32um technology) --> interchangable
w--> means T (top) or B (bottom) boot code sector architecture --> NOT INTERCHANGABLE
x--> means speed option with 55,70,90,120 & 150ns speed access --> USE THE SAME SPEED OR AT LEAST A FASTER ONE TO AVOID ISSUES
y--> other codes.

Then basically you can not take the first 29F200 that you find and put it on. Other think, these flash memories uses parallel type write/read procedures in other words different than newer processors and other microcontrollers that can be written using few pins, this flash eeproms needs that all it pins be soldered in place, because if not it will not work. I know by experience.

If you have a b58755m (29f200b) you can use a am29f20bb - 90ns or faster. Mines are 90 and 70ns. Also all the flash eeproms that I have seen in the M383 & M592 ecus are "B" bottom boot code sector architecture, then it could be 29F200AB or 29F200BB, both are interchangable.

Just my two cents to clarify the flash eeprom change doubts.

Thanks so much for this i was searching for some time now for that info. I am experiencing problems with a m3.83 i ordered a 29f200bb 70ns by luck as showed now. I am trying to solve a flashing problem i have with this ecu. I will report the results as soon as i receive the chip and start the testing. Thanks again.
