NVRAM Factory Reset

[James]

This one is really ****ing me off.

Previous owner had NVRAM installed as it was factory resetting with old RAM. Get it to me, resetting again.

Changed NVRAM with one I had here, toon board out and continuity through board and traces traces and underside (topside traces seem to exclusively go to chip to LEFT.

it doesn’t reset if power cycled or turned on later in the day, yet will do if left overnight.


Old NVRAM



New NVRAM


board shows minimal if any leakage

I take that back, just turned off and reset on boot up this time too.
