it now reads it? What did you do to make it that way? Radios with older firmware, and being programmed with a Rib-less cable can bring this error message up.

I had it once on my CDM1250 and was scared by it. All I had to do was write a good, archived, codeplug to the radio using the RIB and cable (not the RIB-less kind) and I was good to go, no harm done.

I don't know how that message would come up out-of-the-blue, unless someone tried programming it improperly.

You might be able to get away with writing in a new codeplug and hoping the radio will hold it.

I had a radio with the same exact error, wrote in a new codeplug, and the EEPROM error came back each time the radio was powered on or off. Radio went to the depot, got a new EEPROM.

The radio now powers on and off all by itself, for no apparent good reason, but that's a topic for the "can't fix it right in mexico" thread

I had the same problem on my VHF CDM1250.

I wrote it one day and whoop - EEPRM CS ERROR

I just kept attempting to write it over and over and over again untill it finally woke up. Took like 5 or 6 trys to "fix" it.

EEprom checksum error. If you're able to write to it with a default codeplug and it recovers, you're lucky.

Thanks to all , with the information I have I would say sending back to the factory and have them fix this problem would be the answer
