taz Posted September 30, 2005 Report Share Posted September 30, 2005 I need help(the hex file that prom chip 24c04 uses), mine seems to have gone .aopen monitor 17 inch .other chips work as i have tested it . but when i try to copy it it seems to destroy the chip i am copying from as well. dont get any help from local suppliers, they just want to sell new ones. the chips from several different monitors seem to work as long as they are 24c04 (stmicro) I need a new hex file or uncompiled program to upload to new chips. It controllers the linear ,size etc from the front buttons on the screenThanks Taz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MP Posted October 22, 2005 Report Share Posted October 22, 2005 The manufacturer of your monitor is the only source that will have the program that goes in the eeprom that is in your monitor. They are not going to give you the source or the hex code to download into your own eeprom. You will have to purchase the already programmed eeprom from them. This is simply how it works. Source code is considered a proprietary item for all manufacturing firms. This keeps their products from being duplicated in mass and putting them out of business when they come up with a design everyone wants to use. It is pure survival. A programmed eeprom cannot cost that much. It is certainly a lot less than replacing the monitor.MP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MP Posted October 31, 2005 Report Share Posted October 31, 2005 Actually I am very familiar with this problem. I work in the world of manufacturing and export to all countries. I have seen a lot of this. Customs agencies can charge pretty much what they want. Warranty or not.MP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
