I JUST found out I can sorta maybe possibly dump/program/reprogram my dead laptop's EC with that one programmer I bought, a CH314A. I just thave to find the proper pinout for it and prod some of the keyboard connector's pins!
@CloverChrome When I was a toddler I vaguely understood what a short circuit was from cartoons, so I would dip McDonald toys in milk to see if they'd break in neat ways. And then I'd be bummed out realizing that was a permanent change.
@kateyagi I did something similar with some of my toys. I would stick coins and keys into their electronics to see if they would throw cool blue arcs or something but they would always just silently break :(
