I have an old samsung dvd-709 player, and it's never had the eeprom
upgraded. It has a lot of problems with freezing and skipping, and I was
about to chuck it, but thought maybe I should at least try to upgrade it.
If it's fixable, the kids can use it. Samsung doesn't seem to acknowledge
they ever made this now, so if I want it upgraded I'm on my own.
Does anybody have enough details, i.e. an eeprom hex or bin file, and the
details of the IC required?
I'm comfortable pulling the old chip off the board, so long as its not a bga
package, and I have a decent device programmer. Looking through the service
manual for the player, I can see there's a serial EEPROM on it (ssop8), and
a much larger device, an M28C801 in a 32-pin DIP package. I'm guessing the
DIP part is the one I want. I'm in Canada, if that helps any with region
details and/or pal vs. ntsc display.
