Having issues with I2C pull-up resistor setup.
Trying to use an EEPROM in my project with 2 resistor options:
1) 2.2kΩ (Red-Red-Gold-Gold)
2) 4.7kΩ (Yellow-Purple-Gold-Gold)

Wired everything exactly per datasheet (triple-checked).
Getting timeout errors on ALL I2C requests.

To isolate the problem:
  - Removed memory chip, kept only resistors on bus
  - Ran I2C scanner → ALL addresses timeout (both resistor values)

Tested with DS1307 RTC module (has built-in 3.3kΩ pull-ups):
  - Removed my resistors, connected RTC
  - Scanner worked perfectly! EEPROM also worked

Can't use RTC module (no space). Need to fix with my 2.2k/4.7k resistors.
Why does I2C bus lock when using my resistors at 5V?
(SDA/SCL to 5V via 2.2k or 4.7k on breadboard)
