Default ECU Chips Go Bad?

Can ECU Chips just go bad, like from working just fine to not working at all?

They usually go bad when you man handle them during the reflashing process. I've never actually seen one go bad that wasn't removed.

I've had lots of eproms go bad. But only during the remove/burn/install process. Never with one installed and running my ECU.
