MOTOROLA "TRIK-CLIP" This is the plans I recieved for the Flip. Supposedly if one knew the pinouts on the other moto phones one could transpose. (maybe!) I never tested this so I don't know if it works. The chip in the flip the text is talking about is a 32 pin square plcc After Phone Disassembly Locate 27c512 Eprom on phone board. This is On The Upper Right Side Of The Display Next To The Roam Indicator. This Is a 32 pin Square device. **Note the dot and beveled edge for pin orientation (the dot is pin 1) Count to the left counter clock wise 2 3 4 5 and so on. To the Right or clockwise of the dot is pin 32 Vcc. This will aid you in your count to find pin 25 which is the eprom output enable. This pin is at ground or Vss - Level. **Note Pin 25 on Eprom in phone must be lifted from the phone board ground or Vss state. Use an X-acto Knife and or soldering iron and tools to cut pin at board level where pin narrows. Do not bend wide part of pin up on eprom as this could break off of Eprom. Also Wide Part of pin Will be used to make contact with eprom test clip adapter. The eprom test clip adapter will take pin 25 to logic high through an 8 to 10 thousand resistor to pin 32 Vcc. This will Gate off all data Commands from the phone board eprom and allow the eprom test clip adaptor to take over. **Note test clip could touch narrow part of cut off pin on board and cause phone not to power up please remove or fold down as low as possible so test clip only touches side of eprom. After programing is complete put pin 25 back together or find a suitable ground or Vss - source. The phone will power up and work without pin 25 put back together but for long term precaution put back to a logic zero or ground to enable the output enable. To use the eprom test clip adapter pull the locking wedge on the test clip into the upper postition. Seat the eprom test clip adapter onto the eprom in the phone. Make sure to orient the dot and beveled edge with each other. Push the locking wedge down to lock the the eprom test clip adapter onto the eprom in the phone. Hook up the programing cable to the computer and plug into the jack on the base of the phone. Also hook up the loose lead with a jumper to the center terminal between the battery contacts. Turn power on green light on phone display should come on thgen a complete display test will light up after that the no service will blink along with the signal level mark in corner of display. If the antenna is still on the phone it could change to roam or something else. I suggest remove the antenna so the cell sight will not see you. If you do not get a power on test with the display there are 3 possible things (1) pin 25 on phone board is touching the test clip this can be checked by looking with a volt meter at pin 25 where resistor connects for 4 to 5 volts pos with reference to ground. (2) Test clip is not sitting on chip good some times you have pull the test clip up off of the eprom a 64th of an inch all the way around. (3) there is corrupt data, Pull the eprom test clip off Phone check to see if power on display is there. Computer see if data or phone number or cell sight code or data whole is ok I've seen the cell sight ID corrrupt and the phone play dead on the power on test. The test clip sometimes needs maintenance look at the gold pins. Make sure all the pins are level with the edge of it. If not take an X-acto or pin and lightly bend them out so they are along the edge of the plastic of the test clip. Always check to see if eprom in phone contacts are clean before putting test clip on. **Note when test clip is on phone - only change the ESN only. *The other data phone number lock and so on can be changed without the test clip and and should be done so. The software version in the test clip is 9148 you will see this in the right corner of the computer. Sometimes the program will crash during the ESN wright this will put all zeros in the ESN field check the test clip try again. Sometimes I've had to do this 3 an 4 times. Also watch the phone display for codes I've seen at the end of a wright the code (FO8) just before power down I've had no problem there but during the key wright (FO8) means i've crashed. Also during the time when the program is counting back into the phone i've had (F1O) show up in the display of the phone this problem means the next time you may not get the power on display test pull test clip read phone check data to see if cell sight code is corrupt or some other data correct try again. A word of caution do not push on eprom on top of test clip as this could seat eprom lower into adapter and cause bad contact. To remove test clip pull locking wedge up to unlock the eprom test clip adapter from the eprom in the phone. Continue pulling up to lift the eprom test clip adapter from the eprom in the phone.
