Hi, I am a keen amatuer electronics enthusiast, and one of my main interests is LCD TVs (I do realise this isn't a TV repair forum I know there quite a few out there, but this is a specific problem), I have repaired a few up to now, mainly SMPS problems with some success ( I am learning all the time..)..Any way I am on my next project, and my experience at the moment fails me, I have a TV with a pic problem (TV stuck in standby doesn't turn on), I have reset the pic (the usual join pins 7 and 8 together and switch on) and sure enough it worked and for a while a very happy man I was too..however when the TV was turned off and turned back on I had to carry out the same reset procedure, and it worked fine again in fact over a period of 5 or so days I haven't had to do it again ..but of course you can say with certainty that it will happen again..So, what I need to do is transfer the data from the old pic to a new one. I am hoping it is a simple case of obtaining a pic programmer, inserting the old chip, read the data, store it, put the new chip in the programmer and write the data to the new chip..To me it sounds good so far, I obviously am not going to do any programming my self (I wouldn't know where to start yet, and I suspect there is a lot of complicated code on the pic)just a straight transfer of data.. Sorry for the long preamble but this is my question. I need to read and reprogram a 24C32WP pic chip, what pic programmer would I need (cost as always is a factor the cheaper the better, and I live in the UK)and what are the steps involved? I would attemt to do it under my own 'steam' but what concerns me most is the accidental erasure of the data on the original pic, if that happens then the TV is junk...Thanks in advance for any help
