  Texas Instruments battery chips are very sensitive to wrong actions, hardware or software related. They are very easy to damage or brick but very difficult to recover. 

 Recovery tools are very expensive so it is easier to just follow simple rules in order not to brick the chip. 

 We have discussed these rules many times on the forum. 

In order to check chip condition, send these command 10x times and paste a log 

WW 38 0000 (10x)

WW 3C 0000 (10x)

@djibattworkshop I think fully charged cells may force chip to reset via NLBA1 or full reset enabled while its range to enable unseal ribbon

charge whole stack to 12.3v using external power supply in order to get 4.1v on each cell 

 it will allow to proceed to unseal board

@djibattworkshop It did not work because it divided voltages and kept them lower than 2 volts for cell 3, which is not allowed by the NLBA1 reset functionality even cells are fully charged.

@djibattworkshop I have replaced the bq30423 chip from another 3Cell battery BMS and reprogrammed it for the 4Cell XCMRD. Now it is okay, but tough to satisfy the customer. Thank you as
