I recently bought a heating pad which has a "feature" which shuts the
heat off after 2 hours. Virtually all pads seem to be made this way now,
unfortunately. I would like to defeat this. I can probably jumper
around the timer control portion of the switch to accomplish this, but I
see in doing some searching that on at least one older model, some
modification of the circuitry around the chip can accomplish this, too

Unfortunately, the circuit on that pad is not the same as mine, which
is centered around an 8 pin chip marked "SEDS 13-000022 R1017A" I can't
seem to find any data on this chip. Tried www.alldatasheet.com, no info
that I could find. Anyone know where I might look, or have any other
ideas for eliminating the timed off action?

TIA
