willem dual power burner = pile of crap?
 

hey
I've been using my willem for some time now, and just recently (today) it will not work with 27sf512 or 29c256's. First off, with the sst's, it will not program anything. It says it programs, but verifies as a no match to the .bin loaded. For the 256's, during the erase procedure (typically it barely flashes a screen), it shows a "erasing chip delay time 60s" and then times out. So i go to burn the bin just for shits and giggles, and i get "error: write sector 0"

I've been using the burner correctly, and i even just went over stevemodes how-to, any suggestions? Any one else having a pain in the ass time?

Oh i've tried 097g, 097j, 097i+, and 097ja.... all ----. :7

thanx for you time....

I have been using a Willems for a while now and have never had a problem.I have only ever used 27SF512's though.I just remove the one jumper to erase and then reinstall to burn using a offset of 8000.

sometimes when you use a jumper wire from 31 to 3 it can bend the little chip holder. try soldering 3-31 on the back. or try carefully bending the holder together.
