    Resetting the eeprom on the main board

    I came accross this article about resetting the eeprom on the main board by connecting a wire accross two pins on the eeprom and then powering on the TV.
    The article is for Samsung TV's and I'm wondering if it might work on this Vizio SV422XVT TV that I can't find parts for.
    I'll quote the item I'm interested in below and attach a link to the full article.

    "For resetting TV, settings, you needed to remove SoC EEPROM device from TV. But it's not required. In electronic world, if you disable communication of the chip, it counts as removed...
    To do this, all you have to do that feeding (connecting) GND (ground) or VCC (3.3v) to SDA line with little wire... That's all.
    Join VCC and SDA, power on TV and hold about for 20 seconds with the TV powered. It just try to read (wrong) settings from EEPROM, since it cannot read anything, just start with defaults."
