They absolutely corrupted the eeproms. The eeproms themselves never failed, they'd just get scrambled. If it was just the alignment data points, we'd just realign the chassis (easy). Sometimes, even the menu "templates" would get glitched - sometimes pages were missing or incomplete. On those, I'd just put in a new eeprom and align - in retrospect, I should have bought an eeprom fixture and just reflashed them..
There were a lot of companies selling preprogrammed eeproms, but of course, there's no such thing in an analog chassis. One of those eeproms would get the TV running of sorts, but the chassis required a complete alignment, particularly if the TV was used on an antenna system (the tuner alignment data was stored in the eeprom).
