I've had my Yeasu V6R bricked once but as noted I was able to recover it with a hard reset. I recommend calling their support group before you take more drastic measures. 73, Alan - W6ARH

Hi guys,
Long (for the details) sad story, but interesting, I think.
To refresh your recollection, in early February I tentatively signed up to reverse engineer the map of settings in the Yaesu FT-60 memory, pending any surprises that made this a bigger task than I expected.
I would try de-soldering the 24C256 and soldering a new one in. Most probable cause of its death is passing the maximum write cycles for the eeprom. With luck the yaesu firmware is bright enough to initialise a blank one ..... with luck !
