Hi guys

I've finally got round to buying a cheap upa USB programmer and Richard's decoder software. I've been having a play tonight with a couple of IPC's. The first one read fine after a few attempts which was a bog standard 1.8 astra ipc. The second one I'm having trouble with, which is a keyless vxr ipc. I can get some bits of coding, but not enough to pull the security codes. Is the chip damaged or do you think I could salvage it if I desoldered it? Or any other ideas?
