It's exactly what you said, as long as the data can be read.as i am in the uk and my day job is soldering and diagnostics is it just a simple remove old chip,read,write to a new chip and resolder.or is there more to it ie reprogramming the car in some way.
To eliminate variables you could reset your car to defaults and see if it still has the same issues post reset. The reset clears history and other things and if that clears the issues then you don't have a hardware issue.Is my MCU dying? Recently I’ve had to do more full resets and they take a bit longer than they used to. Pressing buttons and map actions seem delayed and sluggish. And some podcasts crash the audio player after 10-15 minutes.
If anyone is in the Boston area and able to do this fix, please let me know. I recently purchased a p85d and have no idea if the previous owner ever replaced the mcu. So I’d like to proactively swap this with a 64gb chip.
Correct.
You could in theory perform a small hardware mod to be able to do it while still in the car though, but you'd have to take out the mcu and disassemble it to do that mod.
Just read the entire thread and I am now sufficiently scared that my car is not going to wake up next time I go to take a drive. What's the equivalent of hypochondriac for Tesla's?
Anyway, is there anybody in Arizona that has been through this process or know of a person/business with the chops to do it?
so what happens if you get the black screen of death does that mean the original data is corrupt and useless and best to get it fixed before it dies.
My elderly 2013 now has 121k miles, so I'm thinking I should backup before it dies - what's the procedure to copy the eMMC contents without desoldering?
If anyone with a reasonable distance can help you it is probably EV Tuning in Seabrook, NH.

From what I understand, a new 16 GB chip and disabling most logging to it is a solution that will last longer than the life of the car.

Rich is doing eMMC swaps now? if so that's cool. I didn't realize anyone there was doing this.
I don't know if they are, but if not they can certainly refer customers to someone who can.
