Hello, tired of searching for a way to repair the iprog+ clone unfortunately there's no info about it.
i received the iprog+ two days ago, test it everything was ok, until i tried to feed it with 12v external to read a dash on table, it's got burned.
After opening it, i saw two boards, one filled with black glue, and the second have one ceramic capacitor burned.
After trying the iprog+ to read only eeprom with adapter, it's still working.
When i tried to feed the dash 12v from the adapter, it got burned again
now the iprog+ is not working anymore. when i click on read eeprom the VDO10/12v light 1 second and no reading.
Is there a good way to remove that black glue without damaging the board component to see what burned else?
Thank you

After checking it seems that the converter "mc34063a" on the picture can be the cause.
Is there a way to check it with multimeter, cuz i can't access to it when the two boards are connected.
Also, iprog give error "Voltage overload" when trying to read eeprom with adapter.
PS: please mods move this thread to Help and Discussions, i made a mistake.

I read on the website selling the clone to never power it up as it will burn the Iprog.
I guess the iprog clone is not good after all. Been mostly a waste so far

Unfortunately, this info wasn't described in item description when i bought it. i read it only after it's burned .
Anyway i ordered the mc34063a and Lm317T as they seems faulty, for the capacitors i only found one faulty already changed. will receive them in 2 days and will test again.

It seems to clear the crash files but i haven't been able to read any eeprom yet
Gebalana ARJ (10th September, 2023)
Has anyone been able to get the iprog clone to work? By maybe changing the chips
Gebalana ARJ (10th September, 2023)
Ok change the converter and C2
Still the same problem, here is the full test resutls.

Hello again, i found the diagram for the iprog china clone power board. "Filled with black stuff"
If someone could help with what to check.

I was talking about The board flooded with black compound.
There's three version of iprog china clone.
1- The board is not flooded. This does not happen often, the programmer is easy to understand. Given the appropriate experience, it is not difficult to refine it. But it is noticed that such devices are often assembled on the most low-quality components, and very often they do not even start the first time they are connected.
2- The board is flooded with black compound "like mine". This is a kind of middle ground for the quality and complexity of disassembly. The compound is difficult to remove. To remove it, first separate the boards, then with a blow dryer at a temperature of 120-170 degrees, and with the help of a suitable tool that does not damage the board's mask, remove the upper, thick layer of the compound. Further, they use aggressive chemical solvents. and wash the rest of the compound with a hard, non-metallic brush. I didn't try to remove it yet as i'm suspecting the power board.
3- Board drenched in white epoxy compound. Various chemical compositions were tried, and no solutions were found for flushing. Only by heating a method of 180-200 degrees with a soldering hair dryer, while it is loosened and broken off with a metal spatula or tweezers. Leave a fee in this case is almost impossible. But these devices are considered one of the first and more or less normal quality.
Also i attached a picture of the adapter that must be made in order to to check how the power board and ports of the main unit work. You can use the fulltest script on iprog+ soft then.

Ok i was able to fix mine finally, had change two capacitors one diode 3 pin and one zener.
Now it read and write on 5v and 3v normally

Are you able to power up 12v externally after repair?. Can you please share picture of repaired components on board
Gebalana ARJ (10th September, 2023)
I will add picture tomorrow with what changed.
I didn't try to power it again with 12v, but i will check that tomorrow too.
