eeprom no longer functioning
Firstly, I know very little about electronics. Second, this is automotive related.
My question... If an EPROM is damaged (no longer functioning) how do it get damaged? Shorted, Voltage spike, if it's not physically damaged. Can the programing still be read and copied (to a desktop) correctly? In other words the EPROM being shorted doesn't affect the ability to correctly read the program correct?
Thanx, I know this has nothing to do with cell phones or laptops but hoping someone would know. Thanks!
Is this a good question?

it is the immobilizer , which i guess is the program written on this particular eeprom in the bcm, gm passlock security system, (its an 03 saturn ion) have been stranded twice, fixed with junkyard bcm + relearn, i certin (well mostly) the eeprom itself goes bad, it will not relearn, only a doner bcm + relearn will get it running
