Here are some links on DIY SPI flash programming:

@Cute_na_cute7, I’m sorry about that… i thought you used I2C. NOTED! Should EEPROM uses I2C, I’ll consider JDM based programmer.

How many kids do you have? Really..!!! I’m glad you could still manage to do amazing stuff while being a mother!

@marcelina

I used SPI on that chip :D

@T&P

if that atmel eeprom is an I2C interface, you may have a look at varieties of JDM programmers + IC-Prog software as I was able to use those programmers before in my projects.

@ T&P, most eeprom are interfaced using SPI or I2C. miss cute_na_cute7 used I2C since it is the given interface by the chip. should your atmel eeprom uses I2C, it most likely have to have a pull up resistors on both clock and data lines.

@cute_na_cute7, this is an awakening for me… i admire you! and i’m also glad that your a mother!

did this project even use resisters? I was thinking of fucking with this atmel eeprom I have and wiring it strait to the printer port. its 5v but I don’t understand what the hell ohms are so I am afraid of blowing it out like you. Something about a law of current or something.

Cute_na_Cute_7 – that’s a very fine hack indeed.

Nice work. :-)

She is amazingly fantastic. After working in that eePC, she studies about motherhood.

hello,

thanks for the appreciation…

to Jp1.5,

I tried a LOT of techniques to recover the bios (bootblock recovery, USB with the ROM inside, reading all the articles in the Asus EEE forum) for many days but still without luck… The flashing process hanged when it is currently writing at the bootblock area. from what I read, the method to recover from a bad flash is in the bootblock. however, since the writing at the bootblock area was not completed and was erased, I have no choice but to recover it using a DIY SPI programmer.

if the bootblock area was not erased nor programmed, maybe it will be easier for me to recover this little machine using just the keypress combinations for bootblock recovery or boot through USB with the ROM file. :)

Serious technical chops and sufficiently fearless to seize success from the jaws of paying almost as much as the initial cost of the unit! mórthaibhseach, étonnant, впечатляет, kick-ass!

xD
but I think the EeePC has a system of dual bios lol

If the first BIOS is dead
– Must be disassembled for the EeePC press a button not accessible
– Synchronize a combination with the power button and also time
– And (I do not remember to always)
But surely the Bios.ROM on USB / SD for reflash

but! the second BIOS didn’t menu! neither option! because the screen did not use

is too old in my memory
and luckily I never missed a flash

PS: I am sorry for my bad English
I’m french
