problem with dual power willem burner
 

ultimately it wont burn my one chip I have. The only thing I did different this time was turning off the car completely then removing the chip from the zif socket instead of removing the ecu then removing the chip.

When I do a hardware test, the ID icon, it doesnt register the chip or whatever it does normally. then I was like ---- it and tryed to burn a bin any way and no go. I tryed it on a different cpu, nothing, with an ac adapter I found around the house instead of the usb, nothing. dont have another parallel cable.... I'm thinking about going to radio shack and getting another chip and see if that works or its time for a burn1.

all the jumpers and dip switches are the same from the last time I programmed it recently. I burned it yesterday. The only thing I did from here to then is I just put 450's in the car I dorve the car and I brought it with me just in case. I didn't drop the back pack it was in or anything. or manhandle it or anything. LMK if anyones had a similar problem.

What chip is it? Have you tried setting it to pcb3 and selecting the chip manually instead of ID'ing it? I don't think my SST27sf512's come up with an ID tag if I remember right.

amtel at29c256.

anyone know if radio shack sells eeprom chips? I think its the chip cause the power lights flicker and act funny when I put the chip in.

Re: problem with dual power willem burner
 

Is your burner setup where you need to use the external jumper wire to erase it? Heck, it could be something wrong with the board itself too if the lights are flickering bad. No, radio shack doesn't carry eproms either...I already checked lol.

Re: problem with dual power willem burner
 

yes, I have to use a jumper between the 1st and 31st pin to erase and burn.

How exactly do you set the chip manually? That blows balls radio shack doesnt sell them. frys maybe......

Re: problem with dual power willem burner
 

You can still find some 29c's out there, but not many as they're discontinued. IMO you'd be better off ordering some SST27sf's from Xenocron and trying them. Much easier to play with, and still electronic erasable.

I'm guessing it's your chip. Happened to me, chip just stopped working. Another one worked fine.

try it without the jumper c what happens.

I tryed it without the jumper and it still didn't detect it. I just order 10 chips from TT. so I'll see if that works

my willems sucks too, it refuses to do SST chips only does atmel, which im down to my last one

Re: problem with dual power willem burner
 

i got the willem "enhanced" deal, lost one of my jumpers :( havn't used it in about a year. but i will be using it soon

Re: problem with dual power willem burner
 

That sounds like you don't have the jumpers and dip switches set right. I've done everything from regular 27c256 uv erasable pos's to the sst's and atmel 29c's with no issues at all.
