This method seems to work on the c640, and, best of all, it is free:

I've tried it on an old Inspiron at least. It took me the better part of the day, but I finally got it working! Also very helpful in taking apart the laptop are the Dell service manuals, which can be found on the Dell support website.

Happy shorting!

can anyone help me to trace the Eeprom chip (24c02 ) on dell latitude C640 and exactly wich pin to short. Coz i tried but seems not working thinking maybe i was working on a wrong chip.

When I was attempting this on an old Pentium 3 Inspiron 4100, the chip wasn't exactly labeled 24C02, however it had "24" and "C02" in the 2nd row. There should be only one chip like this. For me, I had to short pins 3 & 6, but I have seen people suggest different pins as well. I would recommend 3 & 6 as a good starting point, however.

The pins are numbered counter clockwise starting from the bottom left corner of the chip. You can tell which side is the "bottom" because, when looking at the chip in the correct orientation, the little semicircular cutout should appear on the left hand side.

Remember, the timing is crucial as well. Once again, I have seen suggestions posted WRT timing. For me, I simply had to apply the short, turn on the computer, and then release it in order to get to the manufacturing mode. However, other people say you need to wait several seconds before applying. Just remember, it CAN be done. You just need to try these different techniques iteratively, or, better still, find someone who has done the deed for your specific model

Here is a superb guide with some pictures that may prove more useful:

HI guru me again is number 6 under the little semicircular cutout is it like this

1234

0
5678

0 assuming little semicircular cutout

Hello Dinram,

Actually, you've got it reversed. A schematic can be found here,

http://www.download.centre4service.com/introd.html

but essentially it should be

| 8765|
o |
| 1234|

where o is the semicircle cutout

Sorry, tried to get a little fancy and it came out wrong .... i forgot that html mucks with the spacing :chef:

Here it is:

8765
o
1234

Can it unlocked by mastercode?

[Dinram]

i heard that the problem is the -595B series

 

[think_guru]

Hmm it should work. At least Paragon's website says it will work for that model. If you're still having trouble, you can try contacting Dell. Just give them that service tag, and they should be able to provide you with the master password.

Also, check out the main thread for password help and leave a post:

(note this thread will close soon, since it is only for april to July. Once a new one opens, you can check that one out too)

If you describe precisely what you've done and your shorting technique, perhaps somebody there can give you more information specific to your system.

Good luck!
