Hi guys
Well I currently have 2 2.6ce chips that both seem to be knackered. One was working fine, and I hotswapped my first duff one to reflash but this didnt work for some reason. I have done this before so knew I was doing it correctly. Anyhow, for a strange reason this has also taken out the working chip i had.
I've just purchased a programmer to try and flash them both this way. Now after following the guides on here and other places the first thing I notice is that I dont have 2 red lights, i have one green and one red, also noticed a flshing blue led on the programmer aswell. The main problem I have of course is that XBM2.0 and 2.3 will not recognise either of the chips. I've tried this on 3 seperate machines now (2 with XP and 1 with win2000) and I get the same error everytime. I've checked the port settings on each machine and ensured that this corresponds with the settings within XBM but it just wont pick up the chips. All the switch banks are correct on the chip, and the light comes on etc etc.
One thing I keep asking myself is does it need to be grounded in anyway, like when the chip is in the box and D0 etc, is this what the extra wires are for that come with the programmer?
If anyone has any ideas I would appreicate it. I can grab screenshots etc once i get home this evening.
TIA
