hrmmm...the jumpers.....do you see the blue rectangular shaped box on your software main screen, it just shows you switches 1-12 and which ones are supposed to be on and off ( up or down) as long as you have the right chip selected under devices, it will show you the proper settings for that chip, then you just have to set the actual switches on the burner how they look on the screen, sorry i have no pics.....and i meant just simply getting it all set up ( the switches and having the right chip selected) and then closing the software, then re open it, then insert the chip, then see if you can id it....if not try using the other willem software, whichever one your not using now...if that dont work? im not sure, is that a willem dual power? it looks a little different than mine, which is a willem enhanced....

 

i set everything closed the software opened it back up and still no ID on both of the softwares. not exactally sure which burner it is its not mine its a buddies and he said its a dual power, i think. do you know anybody that can help if you cant figure it out for me. thanks for the help though

 

maybe theres a step im missing because its a dual power and not an enhanced? i havent personally used a dual power only the enhanced.....i would start a new thread in search of someone with a dual power that can walk you through it, im out of ideas bro....sorry, hope you can figure it out....lemme know if theres anything else i can help you out with....that agrivates me though, i know what its like to have the right tools to do something and not be able to figure it out ...it sux...best of luck....

 

I followed the instructions and used the software here and had no problems...

I thought you had to add a value somewhere to use the SST chip? Like: https://www.homemadeturbo.com/forum/...?topic=40052.0

I also had problems with my Willem. I'd set everything up and it wouldn't ID the chip, wouldn't burn, wouldn't do anything. I had to plug the serial cable to the board and then to the computer. Plug in the USB power at the board, but not the laptop. Start 097g software. Insert chip & lock socket. Plug in USB to laptop. ID chip/Erase/Burn etc... That's for a AT29C256 chip, not an SST. Could be a similar issue. If you do anything out of that order, it wouldn't work.

 

this ---- is ------- GAY. i still cant figure it out. im stupid

 

maybe you might just have to get an altmel AT29C256 chip and order a new burner ....if you do you can get a willem enhanced off ebay for about $40-60......i wish i could help more....

 

is there anyway that this burner can get messed up buy doing it over and over. can the sst27sf521 chip get messed up by triing to burn it over and over.

 

doubtful...maybe if you are putting the chip in backwards

its really something silly you are doing wrong

give it a day, rest - relax and then go back and re-read the instructions carefully, clear your mind

 

Did it ever work for you? Or did it work once or twice and then not work at all?

I've never gotten the SSTs to work... I'll stick with at AT29C's instead.
