ThermoFisher Sorvall Legend XTR Main Board Repair - Flashing the Infineon XC164CS MCU

In this video I walk you through a ThermoFisher Sorvall Legend XTR centrifuge main board repair - specifically, the main board's microcontroller (MCU). The MCU is an Infineon SAF-XC164CS-16F. I will walk you through how to flash this chip. I will also discuss additional main board failures on this model centrifuge, as well as additional repairs not performed by the manufacturer. Hope this is helpful to someone!
