Xenon Death Flash: a free physics lesson (2015)
- mschuster91 6y agoIs this the same effect that was behind the early EPROMs with the window that was covered by stickers?
- Glanford 6y agoBoth are due to the same photoelectric effect according to Wikpedia, however it doesn't seem like xenon flashes are the most suitable thing to erase those chips and I don't think ultraviolet lights would cause the same issues on the Pi that an xenon flash would. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EPROM https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EPROM
- upofadown 6y agoI never heard that camera flashes could actually erase the EPROM. They just disrupted its operation ... which sounds a lot like parasitic photoelectric effect.
