Hello Paul,
Thanks for the tip on leaving set plugged in but turned off. We don't need the
additional stress of putting our hand into a live set.
I did discover awhile back that the old eeprom could be saved like you said but
after having a couple come back out of 20 or so i now just leave in the new
one. I charge enough for doing the tuner soldering job to easily recover the
cost.

Mike,
I have done this for years, with the rca/ge sets. You don't have to change
the eeprom with the set still playing! Just turn it off, but don't unplug
the set. As long as the 5v is active, it will save the eeprom start-up data
in the cpu and that is what you want. In fact, after re-installing the old
eeprom, and turning the set on and off, you will usually find that the old
eeprom works fine. THEN you don't have to transfer the tuner data to the new
eeprom. One thing that you MAY have to do, in this process, is to reset the
parameters from 1 thru 12.
You can then save the new eeprom to start another set, or you may need to
install it in the set you are working on, if the old one is actually
defective,(that is won't hold data).
You can eleminate all of the above process by using the rca chipper checker
and just check and re-initlize the eeprom. Plus you will need it to service
the 195 thru 203 chassis. But the above process works great on the older
chassis.
I hope I haven't confused you too much.
Good hunting.

Some of you may already do this but for others - when the set (rca-ge) wont
start because of a corrupted eeprom i install a 8 pin socket at the eeprom
location, plug in (half way -not tight) the new eeprom (this allows the set
to come on). and while running pull the new eeprom then (with set still on )
plug in the original eeprom and retieve the values.
Once you have written all the values (can turn off set ) swap the old eeprom
for the new one and enter the values you retrieved, from the old one, into
the new eeprom.
