Is it possible to damage an EPROM by exposing it to UV light
for too long? What if a portion of the EPROM stays unprogrammed

The unprogrammed area should fail sooner or later, shouldn't it?

I used only sunlight (Phoenix, AZ, 32N latitute, sky probably 90%
clear),

It never worked for me in Denmark, 56N
