For the ones who want to learn how to build your very own eeprom programmer for 1000, 2500, 3000, 3500, 4000 and 4500 IRD's and an other ird that does not have jtag port

Stuff needed.
PonyProg software
DB9 serial connector to connect to your com port or cable.
10k resistor (any watt)
4.7k resistor (any watt)
some wire
PC
soldering iron, tools and ability.

remove eeprom
connect eeprom pins 1,2,3,4 and 7 to a wire labled ground.
connect eepom pin 8 to a wire labled 5v.

connect the 10k resistor to eeprom pin 6.
connect other end of 10k resistor to DB9 pin 7.
connect wire from eeprom pin 5 to DB9 pin 8.
connect 4.7k resistor from DB9 pin 8 and DB9 pin 4.
connect DB9 pin 5 to DB9 case ground.
Pins used on DB9 were 7,8,4 and 5.
Done building.

Plug serial DB9 into cable, or com port.
Inside your PC, using one of the small floppy power cables,
connect the wire labled 5v to the red wire on power cable,
and connect the wire labled ground to one of the black wires
on power cable.
Done connecting.

Run PonyProg.
Go to Options/Setup and select Serial SI Prog API and Com port.
Go to Options/calibrate.
For Dev, Type choose: 2402-16 and 2416 (not 24xx auto)
After Setup and Calibrate, exit then restart.
Click Read device. Data should appear.
If not, it's wired wrong, or com port errors.
If correct click save as, and save what you currently have.
Click Utility/Clear buffer, then write to device.
Done.

This is supposed to FF the entire eeprom.
Most suggest you keep intact the 1st 24 Bytes of data, and not FF the entire eeprom. They say some data will be missing otherwise.

Great post bud I'll put this the how to section :beer:

Not to rain on anybody parade, but I think this the project name of "Pro F040 JTAG" is a bit misleading. The above describes how to re-flash the EEPROM not the TSOP. There is no way to fix an ECM TSOP on a x000 receiver with the above procedure. It might fix a corrupt EEPROM, but that's about it. I mean no disrespect to the original author but I thought it should be pointed out so people are not give false hope. This will not fix an ECM TSOP on any model receiver.

ok now I see remove eeprom
connect eeprom pins 1,2,3,4 and 7 to a wire labled ground.
connect eepom pin 8 to a wire labled 5v
still good info :yes: thanks spoon for pointing that out :D
I'll change the title
