xrbrevin Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 I have an 800XLF and a 65XE and they both need a replacement Freddie chip. Number: C061922 or C061991 Does anyone know a good place to order them from in the UK / EU? cheers ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TGB1718 Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 depends on how soon you want them, might be worth asking Lotherik when these will be available https://lotharek.pl/productdetail.php?id=312 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dinadan67 Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 (edited) You can get Freddie-replacements from a shop in Poland: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/124704063542?hash=item1d08f10036:g:0yUAAOSwLjxgjGF9 Edited September 10, 2021 by Dinadan67 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blacka013 Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 (edited) Hi Zulagala, it does indeed require the SRAM module, sorry, missed that. xrbrevin If you can't find someone who can sell you the chips, the link from Dinadan67 is a way forward, although you'll probably end up paying import and postage charges here in the UK.

xrbrevin Posted September 10, 2021 Author Share Posted September 10, 2021 Many thanks, altho the cost is a little steep.. Ill search around to see if the gerbers and code for it are in the public domain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good service. Was near £30 all in by the time postage cost from Poland to UK was factored in.

xrbrevin Posted October 7, 2021 Author Share Posted October 7, 2021 i just got the remaining components this afternoon and fitted them - i can confirm it is a success! the XE has been cycling the karateka demo for over an hour now to finish, i will have to remove the socket in order to refit the shielding but i will leave it in for now to test the remaining 4x Freddie PCBs. (Those 0402 components make my eyes hurt..!) thanks again for all your help ? if anyone would like to make their own, here are the gerbers, BOM and placement info: (saves you the hassle of google translate etc!)
