Denon DRA-397 Stuck in Standby - Solved - Bad Eeprom

okay just got done redoing all the pins on IC401, have to say im impressed with myself, but I have to give some credit to the very sharp tip I am using as well. Still the same results, stuck in standby.

Well, I suppose we're pretty much down to either that eeprom, or the CPU if its not the eeprom. The thing is, my luck the eeprom will probably be blank and need programming. I don't think the receiver is worth that much effort, especially in the condition its in. I would probably go for it if I knew for certain the chip would have the programming. I'm not really bummed, I'm actually happy, as we seemed to have managed to at least find the cause(s).

I think I'm ready to work on another unit anyway, this one has gotten more time than most would have spent on it.

Just checked all those and all the diodes read as they should, same with the little transistors on the bottom. Not a surprise with a Denon. They are either severely blown up with a lot of bad parts, or just the CPU or some other IC takes a crap >_<.

Thanks for the help MT. At least I can move onto something else now.
