How this job is done

A chip transplant physically moves the processor (MCU) or memory chip from your original module onto a donor board with the same part number. The silicon that already holds your car's data is lifted from the damaged board, cleaned, prepared (reballed for BGA packages) and soldered onto the donor, which then behaves as your original module.

Used when the processor is secured and can't be read on the bench, when the board is water, corrosion or fire damaged but the chip survived, or when a normal clone isn't possible.

Requirements: the original chip must be undamaged, the original module must have been communicating before it failed, and the donor must have the same part number (and hardware/software number where printed).

Can your chip or board be transplanted or read?

Often, if the chip can be read. Send photos of the board and chip markings first and we'll confirm.

Which versions are covered?

Send clear photos of the board and the chip markings and we'll confirm before you post.

What do I need to send?

Your damaged original module
A donor module with exactly the same part number (and hardware/software number where printed)
Photos of the board and chip markings first, so we can confirm the right option
