Some aftermarket chips have the information scrambled in them. Basically, it's a different mask they use. You should get some info there but probably not the correct info. Do you mean to say that there is nothing there or nothing that makes sense? What mask is it?

Might be using a different sized chip.
Might cut your loses, and work on something meaningful.
