Hello,

I recently purchased a Willem programmer to copy a G90 Dallas Chip:

http://www.mcumall.com/support/DualPoweredWillemUserGuide.htm

This works great, and I managed to make a copy an existing dallas chip from a working G90.
Inserted the copied dallas chip into another G90 (had a completely dead dallas chip) & it fires up fine. But the
CRT Timer and serial number information is the same as the original G90, as it should be.

I need to change the CRT timer and serial number information, in an earlier post by John, the location
is given as:

------------------------------------------
- Projector serial number is stored in [B0-B5] memory addresses by simply convert PJ label serial number in hexadecimal format (i.e. serial 2000420 -> #0000001E8624).

- Chassis timer is stored in [82-85] memory addresses by simply convert chassis hours in 1/100' format in hexadecimal format (i.e. 8633hrs=3108016324 (1/100sec.) -> #B94090C4).

- Blue tube timer is stored in [86-89] memory addresses by simply convert blue tube hours in 1/100' format in hexadecimal format (i.e. 635hrs -> #0DA028C0).

- Green tube timer is stored in [8A-8D] memory addresses by simply convert green tube hours in 1/100' format in hexadecimal format (i.e. 635hrs -> #0DA028C0).

- Red tube timer is stored in [8E-91] memory addresses by simply convert red tube hours in 1/100' format in hexadecimal format (i.e. 635hrs -> #0DA028C0).

--------------------------------------

However in the binary file that I have, I cannot find anything that is accurate in them locations.
The dallas chip that I copied (binary file posted), has the serial number: 2000398, hex: 1E860E
and CRT and total runtime of 566hrs.

I guess I must be doing something completely wrong, if anyone can point me in the right direction I would be
very grateful!

As .bin files cannot be updated on this site, I have renamed it to .txt, please change to .bin to view in an hex editor.

Thank u very much!

Burn this and let me know what your numbers are.

Mac,

I tried with the file you sent. The G90 starts up, but when I press menu I get no response nothing at all.

Thats odd. Pull that Dallas out, read it again, save and send me that file. Also take the original good dallas that you read for the starting file and read it again and send me that file. Then put that original good dallas in the projector and give me the timers and serial from in the menu.

John. The problem is that in the locations you have listed in the above quote he has 0000's but I'm assuming the projector does display the serial and timer info. I read another Dallas I have here and it also has 0000's in your locations. I have identified a location I believe to be the timer info but have not heard back from Shaz to verify. Is your post a G90 read or a G70?

Mac,

I will get back to u with the files today, when I get home. Sorry for the delay, been on a road trip.
The chip is a G90 read, and like u I get 0s in the locations.

Firmware version is 1.11 (the latest)....perhaps this can have an effect?

Additional Info:

The binary file posted above, amagasaki.txt -- has serial number 2000398,
and CRT and total runtime of 566hrs. when copied onto a blank dallas chip, and
installed, it displays correctly on the projector, but looking @ the locations given above,
I see 0s.....
