Yes. that's an LGT8F328. Pin 21 is SWD which is also part of the SWD programming interface (Gnd, Vcc, SWD, SWC, Reset). Pin 21 of a genuine 32-TQFP ATmega328 would be Gnd.

Have you found the pin out of this PCB?

No, neither do I have that clone nor its schematic.

I measured a capacitor, which was discharged behind the multi meter and is now dead, so I wanted to know if it had any protection.

If you have the same device as slash14 posted then the protection device is probably D2 on that PCB which is similar to the SRV05-4 by ON-semi. D1 also looks to be part of the protection circuitry.

Have you already tried with U2 and D1 (weak input protection) removed?

Yes, I replaced the U2 and D1 is fine.After replacing it came to life but showing cell from 1-2 pin. The mcu also heating. So I have to replace the atmega328p. But I need the compiled code and Fuse bits. I will be greatful if you please help me. :)

I have fried my TC1 with charged capacitor. The MCU also fried. My TC1 comes with ATMega328p DIP IC. I am not an expert in but if I could get complied code, I would be able to fix it. Please help me :) :)

There are compiled versions out there. But on another note, while a pin or two might be fried, you may still be able to read the Flash and eeprom. (You need both) Then simply write it to a new chip.
Depends on whether the chip has copy protect enabled or not.

Can you please provide the link of the compiled code for tc1 with dip Atmega328p??  And where to find the fuse bits??
I have tried to read but the mcu is read protected  :-[

I am unable to find suitable code for my device.
This one is my device:

Sorry, I don't provide compiled firmwares.

hi ihave t7  I measured without discharging the capacitor. malfunctioned but i notice that 7805 in 0v so no give 5v. and i  connect  5v 7805 its run but not measured. i push button bur show same power voltage how solve this?
not measuring  why?

Please post a picture of the PCB to help figuring out which specific model you have and if it got a genuine ATmega.

Your T7 is an early version and has a genuine ATmega. Remove ZD1 (6.8V TVS) and DZ2 (SRV05-4) and try again. If the tester still shows "Cell" then the ATmega is damaged.

You can replace the ATmega and program an OSHW firmware. You'll also need to reprogram U4 or replace it with a simple two-transistor circuit.

madires, tedris has an ATmega32 in the screenshot, it is not supported in the OSHW project.
tedris,you can only replace a damaged controller with an ATmega324 or ATmega644.
