I wrecked pin 7 trying to redo my eeprom lock, it broke off right at the base of the chip. So i orderd two from a place on the internet. Won't be here until middel of the week. Can i still use it like this? Tell me if I'm wrong but it should work just like being locked with pin seven gone. Then when my new one comes do I have to reflash it with the backup or will it get updated when i put it in the stream? Thanks in advance.

It will work fine w/o pin 7, pin 7 is normally grounded, but when it is supplied with 3.3v-5v, it locks. So with it gone, you just can't lock the eeprom, that's all.
