Maybe the burner is fried?

I loaned my functioning-that-day Batronix to a kid only to get a phone call that same evening...

"Dude. Your burner is fucked up! It won't burn any chips! I keep getting these errors!"

I got the burner back from him and found that it would write a blank file just fine, but I would get write errors if I tried to burn an actual program to the chip. Upon closer inspection, I found that the main voltage regulator was sitting somewhere near the temperature of the sun. Somehow the kid had burned up a couple of FETs on the board, causing the regulator to be overloaded. A couple of new parts and some soldering later and the burner was good as new.

Aside from burning my finger on the regulator, there was no physical evidence that the burner was damaged.

If it's been sitting in a box, untouched...I have no idea. Maybe it just sucks and randomly died. :P
