no, there is only one initial eeprom write during flashing the PIC, then
only once again if mode is changed, which usually never happens and if, the=
n
months or even years may have gone by. As said, I'm initializing cell #0 to
$00 for mode 1 and that's it.

To answer another question: No, there is only address #0 written and read,
all other cells are unused.

A question from my side to this: Does "fail" mean here, that the eeprom cel=
l
is falling back to $FF or is it possible, that it has any random value afte=
r
"failing"?

I'm not sure, but did yo ever reply to the question about if there was any
other writes to the EEPROM during production use ?

One major questions is, does the EEPROM fail during read-only use or due to
missing "refresh" ?
