Thanks Frozen , You are correct I am New to Arduino too , I started a few months back converting some Old TM HOTAS Joysticks etc to USB, via the Leonardo or Pro Micro and MMJoy2 (custom Firmware) which does not require a whole lot of Arduino knowledge in and of itself , so I appreciate the Help and Hints.

I could not find a SOIC Clip locally and didn't want to wait 30-60 days ...again... the Pro Micros I ordered 2 months ago , have still not arrived , nor has a small 2 port USB KVM which was ordered 6 weeks ago .

Honestly I am not sure if the broken out Pins have worked or not , just not sure why I have a 4 - 4.5 minute Backlight time now :)  , I did not see anything in the Serial Monitor Window though .

I was hoping to just make the BACK-UP of the EEPROM , last night and then spend some time understanding and making the changes , since it is years since I fooled with a HEX Editor.

I did find that Russian Thread here too :

one of the Guys there made a Dump Editor , though I don't know if it works for the 139C as well

Thanks again I appreciate it.

frozenfrogz:
Regarding the SOIC8 clip, you could go DIY with the help of a PCI slot from an old board.
See this thread for reference

Searching for "SOIC8 clip DIY" on the web should also get you various options. :)

Kbird:

Thanks for that link  interesting, I might have to give it a try , as I am not having much luck ordering stuff off AliExpress and other such Sites.

frozenfrogz:
Yes, AliExpress is mostly cheap crap not worth paying a parcel service to ship stuff from China/Asia.
You might get lucky, but actually you will need to do a whole lot of research ;)

Hi FF , actually the 5 socket Female Pin Header I Soldered in to the Breakout Area is working and thanks to your Sketch File I can "see" the EEPROM Dump in Serial Monitor or CoolTerm  , it takes a while to start ...maybe 30 secs as per the sketch , then it Reads the eeprom in a loop but seems to crash after about 8-12 "Prints" to the Terminal Window. I am using a Leonardo , I see you are Using an Uno , is the lockup something that could be caused by that difference do you think?

Still reading up on Serial Terminal , so as yet I have not been able to save the eeprom  but this is what is seen in CoolTerm with a Capture to Text File. From the Dump I can now see my Backlight is indeed 255 secs (FF), or 4 1/4 minutes.

          this is what is seen ^^^^^ when it locks up  (not always same spot) , resetting the Leonardo usually gets it going again.

but I just had a thought that perhaps I had both Serial Terminals Open by accident and they were both trying to access/connect at the same time...


I have actually asked for my money back after 2 months of waiting for the AliExpress Shipment but the Seller extended the period by another Month and has not returned the Money...
