There is no bad chip on the board.
A full chip is not a bad chip, and there is no reason why the board should stop working on account of a full memory chip which contains a syslog that is not used for anything.
Hacker News is riddled with shills and apologists for atrocious corporate behaviour.
- ricardobeat 7y agoApparently the issue is the eMMC storage wearing out and failing, not simply getting full. Since it’s soldered on it is not a feasible repair at the shop.
- silversconfused 7y agoYou misunderstand both the functional properties of flash storage and telsa's blunder. Tesla's mistake was sending too much data to the chip, yes, but it exceeded the WRITE ENDURANCE, not the capacity. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flash_memory#Memory_wear https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flash_memory#Memory_wear (Incidentally, not a shill or shareholder, but rooting for tesla due the fact GM pushed for leaded gasoline and ford would rather litigate than fix dangerous vehicles. We're rooting for the underdog here hoping for global positive change.)
